Case: Controversial Construction Projects
Client Challenge
Industrial construction companies often face public perception problems when engaging in environmentally disruptive projects. While adhering closely to environmental guidelines and agreements during a recent project, one Banyan client wanted to understand how their activities were being perceived by the media and local population.
Banyan created a customized data stream combining a mix of local and national news media, social media, and environmental organization press releases to monitor public opinion of the project. Our proprietary data provider works closely with us to deliver access to Banyan’s handpicked local information sources and our data integration platform identified the most relevant data using a sophisticated information geo-fencing process.
