As influencers have become more plentiful and effective, there is a forecast growth of brand spend on influencer marketing. Tools such as Cision are therefore looking to be in higher demand.

Cision is already ranked as a leader in the $3 billion communications intelligence software and services market. In February 2023, Cali Tran took over as CEO, having previously led the influential Brandwatch which was one of four high-profile acquisitions made by Cision between 2021 and 2023.
