Businesses in Mauritius will now be able to benefit from a comprehensive and cross-platform media-monitoring service that includes the provision of key insights and timeous delivery of reports. Eclipse Communications Mauritius will be launching an innovative media monitoring service for its Mauritian clients from 1 October 2021, drawing on the expertise of Novus Group – a South African media monitoring company. Aradhna Boodhoo-Laumond, Communications Director at Eclipse Communications Mauritius, and Joe Hamman, Founder & Director of Novus Group, outline the merits of this offering and the many benefits to Mauritian businesses. 

The new 24/7 media monitoring service offered by Eclipse Communications, in partnership with Novus Group, will provide public and private organisations with a comprehensive service tracking Print, Online, Broadcast (TV and Radio) and Social Media, as well as Media Intelligence. With a view to personalise client experience, three packages will be available, namely Bronze, Silver and Gold, to cater to various strategic and budget needs.

The innovative and value-added aspects of this offering in all three packages is supported by a comprehensive media intelligence report with clients benefiting from key insights, through in-depth analysis, to better manage competitor insights and company reputation. Clients will also have the opportunity to personalise their experience by accessing an online dashboard which includes built-in features like exporting and downloading of clippings/audio/video in adapted formats, charting, advanced search, archiving of all news, transcriptions of audiovisual material, among others.  

This is a service that capitalises on combining local market experience, knowledge and presence with state-of-the-art technology via the use of best-in-class tools, thanks to the partnership with Novus Group, which provides industry-leading media monitoring services across the globe.
