Other tools in the real-time marketing stack

Many teams also use news aggregators (like Google News alerts), social listening platforms, and media databases. The catch is that those are point solutions — you still stitch monitoring, qualification, content, and outreach together by hand. A purpose-built newsjacking platform collapses that workflow so you can move at the speed the news cycle demands.
