From many media data sources to the client report

Media houses otherwise juggle separate silos: reach here, sales figures there, campaign performance in the next tool, and the presentation laboriously rebuilt in PowerPoint at the end. DataLion unites that chain in one platform — many sources flow into one live dashboard, each step builds on the previous one, with no export and no media break.

Here is the continuous flow — each step has its own page with the full detail:

Reach, circulation & audiences in one view

Combine data from TV, online, radio and print in a single dashboard and see reach, circulation, audiences and campaign performance at a glance. Your teams filter live, drill down into individual segments and compare across flexible time series.

With benchmarks you show how individual campaigns, ad placements or content segments perform against each other — and with KPI forecasts you look ahead to revenue predictions and upcoming waves.

  • Benchmarking of campaigns, placements & content segments

Interactive client reports instead of static PDFs

Give your advertisers and agencies interactive live reports they can filter and explore by their own campaign KPIs — instead of emailing a static PDF once a month. Through multi-client whitelabel portals, every client sees only their own data, fully in your corporate design.

With rights and roles you control, freemium- or paywall-style, which metrics are freely accessible and which premium insights sit behind the login. When you need classic formats, you export any report fully on-brand.

  • Whitelabel client portals, multi-client & on-brand
  • Freemium/paywall logic via rights & roles per client
  • Embedded live dashboards for website & client portal
  • Native PowerPoint export, Excel report books, PDF, CSV & JPEG
