2. PR (Re)defined.
PR has been around for
over 100 years, but like
marketing, it has seen great
change since the rise of
social and digital.
PR finds itself in a position
where it has to report
success based on bottom-
line business results.

3. Measuring PR: The New World
Order.
The days of reporting on
impressions,
“advertising value equivalency”
(AVE),
and social likes are waning.
Executives tune out those
numbers because they don’t
mean anything.

4. PR and Measurement: Outputs,
Outcomes and Results.
Measuring PR isn’t a one-to-
one ratio of an action resulting
in a specific business result.
PR measurement is about
measuring three components,
according to Ketchum Global
Research & Analytics: outputs,
outcomes and business
results.

5. PR and Measurement:
The Big Picture.
Don’t be reactive, be proactive!
• Monitor social with the help of good PR monitoring and
automation tools like the Vocus PR Suite.
• Newsjack real-time trends. Follow the trends to prepare
and pitch stories relevant to them.
• Develop “what if” scenarios, both good and bad, for
publicity campaigns and employee behavior.

6. Bottom Line: Measuring PR
is Critical.
Measuring PR is crucial
because it helps correlate
efforts with tangible outcomes.
Southwest Airlines tracked the
results of its SEO-optimized
news releases during a set
time period. The
airline discovered its releases
had produced $2.5 million in
ticket sales.

7. Measuring PR: Where Do
I Start?
• Set goals. Your goals should include reach,
awareness, comprehension, attitude, and
behavior.
• Map your efforts according to outputs, outcomes
and business results.
• Analyze your efforts.
• Monitor.
• Rinse and repeat. Your PR efforts should be
replicable
