We love, love, love charging off in bold new directions – but we often find it’s the little enhancements, the small steps forward that are most appreciated by our customers. In 2018 we ‘focused’ on both. Our new mobile/lite app uses the latest web technology to provide an additional way to keep your entire organisation on top of relevant news … Read More
Why you might be having email issues
We’ve had a small number of customers get in touch recently saying they haven’t received their report from Fuseworks. The most likely reason for this is spam filters. When it comes to sending email there’s a heap of ‘best practice’ guidance out there – and Fuseworks follows all of it. Including authenticating all outgoing mail. Despite that certain badly designed … Read More
Your whole organisation is now mobile enabled
Mobile app launch announcements lend heavily on taglines like “we shrunk the app to fit right in your pocket” and “do everything you can in the office, on the road”. Maybe that works when your app doesn’t do very much – but Fuseworks on the desktop delivers a rich toolset to surface, package and analyse news. Miniaturising those tools to … Read More
Media monitoring: Deciding what matters most
When people talk to us about media monitoring, the first thing we ask is what most matters to them when selecting a service. The answers vary, sometimes a lot – but there are five reoccurring themes.

Media release best practice: Finding a beautiful, unique lure
Words matter… especially when trying to grab the attention of journalists. The average journalist is inundated with news tips all day, every day. Here’s what the Fuseworks PR newswire looks like on a typical weekday: That’s an average of over 20 releases an hour from 9am-5pm and peaks at more than 30. It makes it just a wee bit tricky … Read More
AVEs, Megafonzies and other silliness
If a measurement is silly nonsense, it should at least be funny silly nonsense. Consider the Megafonzie, the Beard Second (the distance that the average beard hair grows in one second), or my personal favourite, the Banana Equivalent Dose (did you know, to receive the amount of radiation Japan’s Fukushima disaster leaked, you’d have to eat 76 million bananas). AVE … Read More
TV, radio: More, more, more

Our new bulletin feature shows customers where exactly a story … Read More
2016 – Year in review
What a massive year! 2016 was something of a tipping point for Fuseworks as customer numbers grew and customer requests dominated an extensive product development program. A cluster agreement with national sporting organisations early in the year was followed by a similar deal covering State sector organisations a few months later. Together these agreements, combined with a big jump in … Read More
