Public Relations (PR) is the managing and dissemination of information about an organisation to the public to create the organisation’s public perception. The exposure is media based. The main aim of PR is to inform the public, stakeholders, investors, customers and partners to maintain a positive view of the organisation and its products and leadership.
It is important to measure the effectiveness of your PR campaign and evaluate it under the ‘Why’, ‘What’, ‘Who’, ‘When’, ‘Where’ and ‘How’. This will help to answer all the questions that arise while planning and evaluating new communication strategies.
To measure your PR efforts you can hire media monitoring service providers. They use various tools to give you detailed information about the brand’s communication strategy. PR measurement can give detailed access to brand communication insights. You can get periodic reports that represent the critical parameters.
Monthly measurement
You can measure your PR monthly and get reports that give insights to allow the brand to measure and evaluate its current communication strategy. This leads to better and lasting results. You get monthly in-depth analytics reports that can be used to evaluate the efficiency of the communication plan. You can also use the information to plan your next communication program.
The reports include information like:
● Brand sentiment and visibility
● Thought leadership presence
● Brand reputation strength
● Media perception of the brand
● Journalist recall
● Effectiveness of the campaign
● Communication strategy’s performance
● Influencer insights
To plan your monthly PR you will need the information on previous campaigns like what markets the plan reached out to, did the spokesperson deliver the right message to create the desired thought leadership, how the communication campaign progressed, did the campaign create the right sentiments, how was the brand reputation framework addressed, which publication, journalist or influencer discussed about the brand and how did the competition approach the communication strategy.
Why is monthly analysis necessary?
To build a successful communication strategy month-to-month analysis is a must. You can use the ‘Target Vs Achieved’ approach with your communication plans. At the beginning of the month, you can set your desired targets and at the end of the month, you can compare the achieved results with the desired results. This will give an accurate picture of your communication plan and you will also get constructive results.
The professionals try to understand the competitor’s thought process, journalist’s reporting style, editorial formats used and more. The analysis reports give the last-mile insights into your communication plan.
