Here's an example of a redacted report that we deliver to our clients on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. Please look through to get a feel for the sort of reporting we do and the sort of metrics and ROI we can offer -- in this example, the outreach was in Spanish to bloggers in Central America and in Portuguese to bloggers in Brazil.

Dear Mr. Doe and team,
We have enjoyed working with you over the past four months and look forward to building on our successes in
English, Spanish, and Portuguese and achieving the same kinds of results for you in online PR in Russian, Polish,
and perhaps additional languages over the coming year. We are thrilled with the willingness with which the
blogosphere and bloggers in general accepted and spread the XYZ message amongst themselves, their readers, and
throughout the Twittershpere. We are also extremely pleased with the conversations we‘ve started with some of the
largest tech sites like the Techcrunch article (Please see Appendix A for a list of the 316 URLs mentioning XYZ on
Techcrunch) and the article on Industry.com we were able to secure, in response to their piece about your
competitor, ABC Technologies, through our A-List outreaches. We gave Techcrunch the exclusive, but followed up
by sending the press release out the following day through PRWeb which at this point has over 42,000 impressions.
Blogger Outreach:
As you know, we have been rotating outreaches and twittering between three languages: English, Spanish, and
Portuguese. For the English portion, we’ve reached out to over 4000 bloggers in the following demographics:
• Animal Bloggers
• College Bloggers
• Online Classifieds Bloggers
• Job Seeking Bloggers
• Mommy Bloggers
• Real Estate Bloggers
• Saving Money Bloggers
• Tech Bloggers
These outreaches (Appendix B - Message Models) have generated over 200 posts (Appendix C) since mid-March
and the SMNR http://xyz-newsrelease.com has generated over 76,000 hits:

Our Spanish blogger outreaches (Appendix D – message models) have generated over 165 posts (Appendix E). We
reached out to over 2000 bloggers within the following demographics:
• College Bloggers
• Job Seekers
• Mommy Bloggers
• Real Estate Bloggers
• Saving Money Bloggers
• Tech Bloggers
• Top Spanish Blogs
The Spanish language SMNR http://xyz-prensa.com has had some very impressive stats with over 236,000 hits. We
were unable to gather the complete statistics for the months of April and May for the chart and graph that follow.
The first Spanish outreach was April 2, so these statistics should include tens of thousands more hits to the SMNR
generated throughout April and May.

Campaign Report
As you know, we began with English, and the earlier starting date partly accounts for the higher number of blog
posts in that language. Note, though, that the response rate (bloggers reached out to compared to the number who
posted) was highest in Spanish, and only slightly lower in Portuguese than English. We are continually working to
attune ourselves to the cultural norms specific to the blogosphere in each language, and aim to achieve similar or
higher results as we move into additional languages.
The charts below were created with SM2, an online conversation monitoring tool, and as you can see there was a
very low level of conversation surrounding XYZ prior to the start of our campaign. The dots represent the dates of
outreaches in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. The biggest spikes obviously surround the date of the press release
to Techcrunch. While there are dips in conversation, this graph illustrates the vastly-increased conversation around
XYZ during the past 5 months of our blogger and social media campaign. The great thing about these earned posts
and the internet in general is that the 110+ posts on May 7th, for example, remain in the blogs, and in the search
engines, and will continue to be read on later dates. Unlike paid media, which disappears the minute you stop
paying the fees, earned media continues to be seen by millions long after the initial date of posting.

SM2 also allows us to show you the geographical spread of messaging resulting from our outreaches. The maps
below show the locations these posts came from around the world. While not 100% accurate (because the tool uses
IP addresses to gather these stats, and one’s IP address does not always correspond to one’s home country), it is
interesting to note. The larger “push pins” represent more conversation:

Campaign Report
Please note that the blog post numbers cited in this report only refer to those for which we feel we can take direct
credit, because we tracked the blogger’s response to our outreach and noted the resulting post. If you search on
“XYZ” in Google Blog search, limiting the search to begin from the first day of our work with you, you will get
results ranging around 10,500. While some of these are independently generated, many more are certainly a result
of growth of discussion about XYZ that has grown organically –and dramatically - since we began our work with
you a few months ago. In other words, for every blog post we feel we can claim direct credit for, it is likely that an
order of magnitude more were written only because the blogger was initially exposed to XYZ by reading another
posting which resulted from our work.
XYZ Twitter Campaigns
We have established daily twittering in all three initial languages, and will maintain those accounts for you in the
months to come. As we recently agreed, our Twitter strategy for English and Portuguese has just begun to feature
an XYZ cool item of the day. We anticipate that will generate even more interest in XYZ tweets. Currently, the
XYZ multilingual Twitter campaigns have resulted in some very impressive followings in the current 3 languages:

In conclusion, we are very happy with the way this campaign is going and look forward to continuing to grow the
languages we are currently working in addition to building the Russian and Polish campaigns of XYZ as we move
forward. If you have any questions about any information presented please let me know.
