FAQ

Where SENSE fits.

What is SENSE?

A weekly intelligence brief on your issue space. Our agents listen across social media, the open internet, and regulatory filings, then write up what is moving and what to do about it. You get the work itself, delivered as a brief. There is no dashboard to log into.

Who is SENSE for?

Public affairs and government relations teams, trade associations and coalitions, advocacy campaigns, and the PR and communications firms behind them. In Washington and beyond, anyone whose issue is won or lost in the digital public square.

Where does SENSE sit?

Between a news-clipping service and bespoke social listening. A clipping service reports what was said. Bespoke listening is powerful, but slow and expensive. SENSE gives you a senior-strategist read on your issue space at the cadence of a monitoring service, every week.

What do you get each week?

A written brief that reads like a memo from a senior strategist: what happened in your issue space, the argument forming, who is carrying it, the exposures and openings, and the message to run this week.

What issues and jurisdictions does SENSE cover?

Federal policy fights, state and local ballot campaigns, regulatory battles, and any issue space where the conversation forms online before it reaches the people you need to move. You name the issue space. The agents cover it.

You can only shape what you Sense coming.
