HAVAS Red launches EchoWeave

 HAVAS Red has launched EchoWeave, a global specialisation designed to help brands master generative engine optimisation (GEO). Spearheaded by the agency's Australia and UK teams, the development gives communicators and marketers capabilities to understand, measure and elevate brand visibility as AI becomes the primary tool for how people search, compare and decide. 

EchoWeave delivers:

  • Multi-model competitor insights: Compare a brand’s visibility against competitors across AI search platforms in a single, comprehensive view.
  • Visibility insights: Track how brand visibility shifts over time and adjust strategy as AI models evolve.
  • Citation and source analysis: Discover which sources AI models rely on most and understand how a brand can become one of their trusted references.
  • Content scoring: Evaluate a brand’s existing content for AI relevance and optimise it to perform effectively at the prompt level.
  • Gap analysis: Identify the specific topics and prompt areas where a brand is underperforming and take clear corrective action.

Steve Fontanot, Commercial Managing Director, APAC, HAVAS Red, said LLMs are redefining brand discovery: "EchoWeave gives communications leaders the clarity and intelligence they need to ensure their strongest stories are understood, trusted and elevated within AI-driven environments."

Rachael Sansom, CEO, HAVAS Red Europe and UK, added: “The same question is coming from every CMO and communications leader we speak to: ‘How do we ensure our brand is accurately understood by AI?'

“EchoWeave gives leaders a clear, data-driven path to turn that challenge into a practical plan they can act on today.”

Industry update

3CPR launches AI-powered reporting dashboard

Specialist corporate and financial communications consultancy, 3CPR, has launched CLARIO, an AI-powered reporting dashboard.

CLARIO - standing for Clarity and Innovation - was developed in-house by 3CPR’s data scientist. It tracks media coverage outcomes and key programme metrics, allowing clients to access live reporting and download charts, graphs, and data for internal use.

According to the consultancy, unlike broader media monitoring platforms, CLARIO focuses on the work undertaken by 3CPR and the resulting outcomes. It has also enabled the agency to move from half-yearly or annual reporting to an always-on model, reducing the time required to compile reports manually.

3CPR Founding Partner, Paul Cheal, said: “Media outcomes remain a key metric for PR performance, but for too long we have been stuck using tedious, time-consuming spreadsheets and relying on reporting that focuses on hindsight. AI provides a generational opportunity to change our approach - linking our activity to tangible business outcomes and providing real time visibility of strategic opportunities.

“The CLARIO platform offers a near real time view of media outcomes, tailored to each organisation’s goals and KPIs. It provides significant time saving for PR teams and delivers greater transparency to clients.

“We have already received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our clients. In the spirit of lifting our profession as a whole, we are offering a white label version for corporates or agencies who want to revamp how they report on their proactive activities and media campaign outcomes.”
