Media Measurement – A Monkey Business?
6. © 2013 by PRecious Communications
Why measure (social) media coverage?
Quick question:
Why do you
want to measure ?
7. © 2013 by PRecious Communications
Why measure media coverage?
Reason 1: Demonstrate value of PR (e.g. Outputs)
– What key initiatives did you drive? Results?
Reason 2: Plan & evaluate communications activities
across channels and markets (e.g. Outtakes)
– How do you connect to publications & journalists, campaigns;
what’s your brand perception?
Reason 3: Strategic Communications (e.g. Outcomes)
– How do your results relate to the budget allocation? Do you
measure KPIs linking PR to business results? What is the value PR
adds your organization?
Reason 4: Discovering opportunities and threats
(Radar)
– What’s happening in the industry, with my clients; is there a crisis,
are there issues…?

many times it’s actually just about:
Looking good
or
Making somebody
look good!

the right objectives & setting smart goals

ROI is a business metric, not a media metric
ROI =
COST OF INVESTMENT
(GAIN FROM INVESTMENT - COST OF INVESTMENT)
Can you connect your PR investments
($$$ ) with the financial impact, e.g. sales
or savings ($$$)?

Real ROI requires you to connect investments,
