With a population of over 46,000 and a reputation for heritage streetscapes, and parks, the City of Burnside is one of Adelaide’s most well-known residential councils. But managing communications in a busy media landscape is no easy task. The council needed to ensure positive stories reached the public, while also tracking emerging issues and maintaining accurate records to support decision-making and accountability.
The challenge? Like many local governments, the City of Burnside needed a sharper, tailored approach to media monitoring.
The council wanted to:
See which local stories were gaining traction
Track sentiment and emerging issues early
Give executives and council members timely, accurate information
Simplify reporting and access hard-to-reach broadcast and parliamentary content
In this case study, we explore how the City of Burnside uses Isentia to:
Monitor story impact and public sentiment
Spot trends in other councils and anticipate issues
Share key updates automatically with leadership and teams
Receive proactive alerts and summaries on major events
