Cision acquires Falcon.io

Copenhagen based startup Falcon.io makes social media marketing easy, managing comprehensive social media marketing campaigns for brands through publishing, engagement, listening, advertising and measurement. The company has just been acquired by Chicago-based Cision, a public relations and media software company.
Founded in 2010, Falcon.io offers an integrated SaaS platform for digital marketing, which allows companies to create paid and organic posts for all of their social networks in one collaborative content calendar, and manage channels, teams, workflows and campaigns. With offices in New York, Copenhagen, Sofia, Berlin, Melbourne and Budapest, Falcon counts many major companies as clients including Carlsberg, Toyota, William Grant & Sons, Momondo, Panasonic, and Coca-Cola.

Cision’s software allows users to identify key influencers, craft and distribute strategic content, and measure the impact of their campaigns. The company has over 4,000 employees with offices in 15 countries throughout the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. The acquisition of Falcon.io will solidify Cision’s market leadership in media management, moving beyond the tactical nature of PR solutions. While Falcon.io will continue to function as a stand-alone social media platform for marketers, it will also be integrated with the Cision Communications Cloud® to expand social media capabilities to media and communications professionals.
