PeakMetrics Recognized as a Pace Setter in the 2026 Gartner® Inaugural Emerging Market Quadrant for Narrative Intelligence — Startup Vendors

Los Angeles, CA — July 8th, 2026 — PeakMetrics today announced it has been recognized as a Pace Setter in Gartner's inaugural Emerging Market Quadrant for Narrative Intelligence— Startup Vendors.

Gartner defines narrative intelligence tools as those that help organizations preemptively detect and monitor narratives using a broad range of data from various sources (such as social media, news media, the dark web, internal communications channels, and other digital content). Gartner also predicts that 45% of chief communications officers (CCOs) will adopt narrative intelligence technologies by 2029 to support reputation monitoring amid an intensifying disinformation landscape.

"As AI reshapes how information is created, amplified, and consumed, organizations need a fundamentally new way to understand the narratives influencing their reputation," said Nick Loui, CEO and Co-Founder of PeakMetrics. "We're proud to be recognized by Gartner and believe this reflects the growing importance of Narrative Intelligence for teams navigating today's information landscape."

PeakMetrics helps organizations understand the narratives shaping their brand by bringing together news, social media, AI generated responses, and custom data sources into a single intelligence platform. Teams can quickly understand what's happening, why it matters, and take action through flexible workflows built around their unique needs.

In our view, this recognition follows a year of continued innovation for PeakMetrics, with new capabilities expanding how organizations understand brand perception, build custom intelligence workflows, and navigate an increasingly AI driven information ecosystem.
