About Mention

Know What People Say About Your Brand

Mention is a French social listening and media monitoring platform that tracks brand mentions across social media, news sites, blogs, forums, and the web in real time. Founded in 2012 in Paris, it helps marketing teams and PR professionals monitor their brand, competitors, and industry.

Real-Time Brand Monitoring

Mention scans billions of sources daily to surface relevant conversations:

  • Brand monitoring: Track every mention of your brand, products, or key people across the web and social media
  • Competitor analysis: Monitor competitor mentions and compare share of voice
  • Sentiment analysis: Understand whether conversations are positive, negative, or neutral
  • Influencer identification: Discover who is talking about your brand and their reach
  • Crisis alerts: Get real-time notifications when mention volume spikes unexpectedly
  • Social publishing: Schedule and publish posts to social channels from the same platform

Social Listening Meets Social Management

Mention bridges the gap between monitoring and action. Unlike pure scheduling tools like Publer or Planable, Mention focuses on understanding the conversations happening around your brand and then lets you publish and engage from the same platform. All data is processed within the EU.
