WHAT
IS
COLIN?

COLIN is a reliable and easy to use Media Management Tool that enables busy press teams to fully trace all incoming and outgoing communications both to media outlets and the public. Conceived and developed in the demanding Press Office environments of major UK Government Departments, COLIN is a proven press office solution designed to support and empower large media teams under extreme pressure. COLIN will enable you to communicate and control your corporate message or “lines to take” across the whole media team, ensuring a consistent and appropriate message in planned media campaigns or rapid reaction scenarios.

COLIN helps your press office team manage the overwhelming influx of questions from the media and prevents potential disjoints in communication.

COLIN on various devices

COLIN was born out of the need to prevent miscommunication and track statements given to the Press during large national crises, emergencies, political and economic events.

Our software allows press officers to quickly capture and review media enquiries, as well as manage their content in an easy to use dashboard. COLIN is designed to maximise collaboration and streamline the Press Office – the whole team can access the application, on any device to distribute consistent and appropriate media or brand messages, reduce the risk of “off-message” comments, and allow wider stakeholder visibility of your news agenda or corporate message.

The news forecasting features can help the media team to plan ahead and be prepared for press interest or potential news opportunities. Secure and flexible cloud access to COLIN will boost your media team’s collaboration regardless of where they are located.

WHY CHOOSE COLIN?

UK DEFRA
"The Colin system is an essential tool for our press office. Without Colin, we couldn’t monitor calls effectively or be assured that the latest lines were issued to media, and so run an effective press office. The platform is easy to use – and preparing items like forecasts is part of our daily routine and access across a range of devices means teams can access latest info from the office, at home, or on the road with ministers."
Daniel Barnes
Chief Press Officer

"COLIN turned out to be the tool we were looking for. For an always-on busy press office dealing with national, local and trade media, across multiple locations, it ensured we could quickly and intuitively record enquiries and lines to take. As well as search for previous lines and media contacts. It was always available, with secure automatic log in and it was never buggy.”"
