The measurement imperative
Set measurable objectives from the outset
Measure only what is meaningful
Link social media activity to tangible outcomes

man in life is the man who has the best
information”Benjamin Disraeli

It’s All About Presence
“Communication is not what you send out, but what arrives.”

A Simple Measurement Framework
…but it all starts from the Outset
A Measurement Mantra
Our role as PR Professionals is to tell the
organization‟s story…
…to all the people who need to hear it…
…so that they will do and think…
…what we want them to do and think:
know who we are;
understand what we do;
think highly of us;
agree with us;
and ultimately be motivated to:
buy our products and services;
work with us or for us;
recommend us to others;
invest in our stock;
or otherwise contribute to our business.
The first step in measuring results is to define the result…
…who are the people who need to hear our story? What do we want them to do or think?
