The founder
Hi, I'm Tarek.
Tarek Riman is a Montreal marketing strategist, author and educator. He founded Riman Agency, where he works on search, AI visibility and digital strategy with brands that range from local businesses to enterprise. He is an adjunct instructor at the McGill Executive Institute and teaches at other Canadian universities.
Heardsay started with a question he kept hearing from nonprofits, municipalities and smaller comms teams: how do we know what people are saying about us without paying for an enterprise contract? The tools that do this well are built and priced for large corporations. Google Alerts is free but misses too much. Heardsay sits in between: honest sources, a clear daily brief, and a price a small team can approve on its own.
Hearsay is what spreads. Heardsay is hearing it first.
What we believe
Four promises we build around.
Respect people's time
Five-minute setup, two-minute brief, no training. If it needs a manual, we failed.
Be honest about limits
We list what we monitor and what we don't. No inflated coverage claims.
Protect the data
Legal sources only, Law 25 in mind, and we never sell data.
Price for the many
Plans a small team can approve, with a discount for nonprofits.
Say hello.
