TopicPulse Officially Blowing Up
• Futuri Media announced that its revolutionary real-time story discovery and show prep tool, TopicPulse, just hit a record-high subscriber base, adding over 100 new station partners in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and others in the first three months of 2018.
TopicPulse uses patent-pending technology to scan social media and 100k+ sources of verified news and information every second; it then shows real-time insights into which stories will resonate with specific audiences to help drive on-air, social, and website content decisions. TopicPulse’s subscriber base has grown rapidly since adding IdeaStarters™ — copy based on TopicPulse insights that can be used as-is on broadcasts and social and digital channels. Created by a team of writers with radio backgrounds, format-specific IdeaStarters™ content is updated throughout the day in the TopicPulse app and emailed to subscribers twice-daily for AM and PM drive prep.
Futuri Media CEO Daniel Anstandig said, “Futuri Media created TopicPulse to help broadcasters and publishers focus on the right content at the right time, using real-time social data to predict what is about to go viral and which stories are most likely to resonate with broadcast, social, and digital audiences.”
As TopicPulse grows, Jasmine Rivers has been promoted to TopicPulse Operations Manager, overseeing product initiatives and the IdeaStarters™ team. The team also recently added Joe Cristiano, former longtime producer of The Jim Kerr Rock ‘n’ Roll Morning Show on WAXQ (Q104.3)/New York to its roster of writers.
