HOW IT WORKS · BOTSWANA MEDIA INTELLIGENCE

From every relevant mention across Botswana to one actionable alert for your team.

MediaClip captures print, radio, television, digital news and public social conversations across relevant supported Botswana sources — in English, Setswana and the way people actually mix them — and turns raw coverage into intelligence your team can act on before the meeting starts.

The four stages

Every mention that matters passes through the same pipeline. Nothing gets to your team without being seen, classified and prioritised.

01

Capture

We ingest coverage from every relevant Botswana source — Mmegi, The Voice, Weekend Post, Sunday Standard, Business Weekly, The Patriot; Duma FM, Yarona, Now TV, Btv; and the open social conversations happening on X, Facebook, TikTok and public LinkedIn.

  • Automated ingestion via our data pipeline for print and online sources
  • Manual capture of radio and TV mentions our automated providers can't reach
  • Coverage backfill on request — historic reporting from your day-one setup
02

Classify

Every mention is tagged by sentiment (positive, negative, neutral), intent (reputational, purchase, informational), urgency (routine, priority, critical), and potential impact. Setswana and code-switched language is classified natively — not translated first, then classified.

  • English, Setswana and code-switched sentiment out of the box
  • Reputational vs commercial vs informational intent separation
  • Priority scoring so your team sees the right mentions in the right order
03

Alert

Threshold alerts fire the moment something crosses the line you set. Critical mentions reach the executive team within minutes; routine coverage waits for the daily digest. You control who gets which alert and how.

  • Configurable thresholds per keyword, competitor set, or campaign
  • Alerts by email, dashboard, and — coming soon — WhatsApp
  • Escalation paths for reputationally sensitive mentions
04

Report

Daily, weekly and monthly reports built for the meeting they're going into. Executive-ready weekly briefs. Data-rich weekly reports for the comms team. Custom cadences for boards and shareholders.

  • Executive-ready weekly briefs — for the MD's Monday morning
  • Comms team dashboards — with drill-down to individual mentions
  • Monthly board packs and quarterly campaign reviews

An example, from source to signal

Suppose an insurance client is monitoring their brand and a competitor announces a new product. Here's what happens.

What makes MediaClip different

Global monitoring tools are excellent — for markets they were built for. MediaClip is built for Botswana specifically, and it shows in three ways.

Setswana-first, not translated

Our sentiment engine works in Setswana natively. Code-switched mentions — the way most Batswana actually communicate on social — are classified accurately, not lost in translation.

Broadcast captured, not skipped

Global providers miss most Botswana radio and TV mentions because they can't reach the sources. We capture them manually and log them into the same pipeline.

Configurable data residency

Client data is processed through cloud infrastructure in the region documented in each client's service agreement. Cross-border processing, sub-processors and applicable safeguards are disclosed in the Data Processing Agreement. DPA 2024 alignment isn't a checkbox — it's the default. Your compliance team can review our DPA statement and security posture directly.
