Key takeaways:
- Quantifying the impact of PR activities through ‘Advertising Value Equivalency’ (AVE) does not justify the strategic importance of PR role and its value to business objectives.
- Data and insights can be used as forms of gap-filling advisory for businesses, leading them to new decision outcomes as well innovative solutions and opportunities.
- PR and communicators cannot rely on a single path of metric. The media landscape and consumers' media consumption habits are constantly changing and evolving; hence PR and its stakeholders must also constantly review and rethink their measurement strategies.
- Partner with other units of the businesses i.e. marketing to have a gauge of the impact of PR is having on the audiences. Business units should not be seen as silos and should leverage each expertise in the best way possible.
- Measuring the impact and value of PR should not be seen as a checklist, but rather, a framework to plan your metric.
- Measurement tools can provide valuable insights to every unique business if it’s driven with the right questions, planning and goal settings.
