DESCRIPTION
The Illinois Secretary of State is seeking a vendor to provide an all-inclusive media monitoring platform supporting media relations, public relations, social media, and marketing functions. The requested solution should allow users to create custom press release templates, build reporter lists by coverage topic and geographic media market, and provide analytics such as open rates along with an unlimited broadcast coverage package.
The platform must also support unlimited searches and access to a comprehensive range of news and media outlets across online, print, and social channels, including real-time social listening for local demographics. In addition, the system should offer a customizable portal for Secretary of State press offices and enable creation of custom clips templates that pre-populate flagged articles from alerts while allowing staff to add television clips and additional items identified through external searches.
The selected solution must include regular security updates, audit logging that attributes login activity and configuration changes to specific employees, and a step-by-step explanation of how artificial intelligence is used in the company’s data system products. User training and 24/7 support are also required. Questions are due by July 21, 2026.
