Demand for CisionPoint has been driven by both new accounts and existing
customers using one or more of Cision's broad line of media research,
distribution, monitoring or analysis tools, the company said. CisionPoint's

firms to non-profit organizations, universities, and small businesses.

and agencies; and Small Business, for very small organizations and solo
practitioners.
