To examine what is happening inside organisations across our market, we are launching Signal:NDI to assess and examine sentiment, strategic shifts, and leaders' perceptions of opportunity and risk.

Thanks to your feedback, our new annual survey, Signal:NDI, is starting to come together.

Our industry is being transformed by technology, changes to customer behaviour, and strategies fragmenting across decision-grade news, data, and intelligence.

What would you like to know? A few early thoughts: Confidence levels & market sentiment, where investment is going (editorial, data, product, sales), how AI is being used in practice, what skills are becoming harder or easier to find, where traditional models are transforming.

Consequently, I'm compiling a survey for leaders across B2B media and intelligence to articulate what’s actually changing inside organisations. Before it is published and promoted on an endless loop, I’d appreciate input and ideas from a broad range of voices across the industry.

Over the past year, the media, information and intelligence space has been reshaped by a familiar range of influences: AI acceleration, sharper scrutiny on value, and a growing gap between news and decision-grade intelligence.

More information here: lnkd.in/eTZrjikn This story and others are covered in this month's edition of Off the record, On the market. If you'd like to sign up, please email ben@media-contacts.co.uk or DM with the email you'd like to sign up with. Out this Friday!

By licensing FT content to them, they will ensure that one of the world’s most trusted news organisations becomes the foundational inside RavenPack’s analytics and AI-driven products, preserving editorial integrity, and creating a revenue stream for high-value, B2B users.

Bigdata.com: #1 AI research platform for finance Bigdata.com helps you monitor your portfolio, catch key market updates early, and automate time-consuming research all in one powerful AI platform.

RavenPack will integrate FT journalism directly into Analytics, Annotations and bigdata.com. FT Ventures is backing RavenPack financially and shaping how premium journalism impacts workflows and decision making across their user base.

Last year, they launched Bigdata, a next-generation AI platform that layers retrieval-augmented generation, search infrastructure and machine-learning over their existing data foundation.

Formed in 2003, they've become globally recognised as one of the leading providers of alternative data, analytics, and AI for hedge funds, banks, and asset managers.

RavenPack is a data-analytics firm specialising in turning unstructured content (news, social media, filings, etc.) into structured data and insights.

Fascinating story out last week that gets to the core of the editorial to intelligence transition as the FT form a strategic partnership with RavenPack.
