14. Five myths…
Myth 1: We can measure
everything digital precisely and
instantly.
Jim Sterne puts it like this: “The world of online
marketing has been suffering from a delusion of precision
and an expectation of exactitude.”
Social Media Measurement Guidance, CIPR, March 2011
14
15. Five myths…
Myth 2: All digital metrics are
useful.
Just because you can measure it doesn’t mean you
should. Katie Delahaye Paine puts it like this: “So
what?!”
Social Media Measurement Guidance, CIPR, March 2011
15
16. Five myths…
Myth 3: The new compound score
everyone is talking about must be
useful.
Too few practitioners know what the numbers
represent, nor then do they know how to interpret
the quantities and ensure they are not misapplied.
Social Media Measurement Guidance, CIPR, March 2011

17. Five myths…
Myth 4: One metric will do.
One metric never suffices. You will need a
balanced portfolio of metrics.
Social Media Measurement Guidance, CIPR, March 2011

18. Five myths…
Myth 5: The more followers /
friends the better.
The number of followers and friends
indicates popularity, butpopularity isn’t
the same as influence.

Medium It’s quality not quantity. Not how many Best practice, intelligent and
people you interact with, but how and in you could say scientific and
what context? professional marketing and
PR, and associated
activities.
Low Number of followers, friends,

subscribers, circulation. Empirically
supported network science. Akin to column inches and

Pitiful Obfuscating compound measures of because you can, not
non-contextual trivial variables. No because you should.

20. Barcelona Principles (2010)
1. Importance of goal setting and measurement
2. Measuring the effect on outcomes is preferred to measuring outputs
3. The effect on business results can and should be measured where
possible
4. Media measurement requires quantity and quality
5. AVEs are not the value of public relations
6. Social media can and should be measured
7. Transparency and replicability are paramount to sound
measurement.

23. Best practice process for selecting
and defining social media metrics
1. Audit – Where are we now?
2. Setting measurable objectives – Where do we need to be?
3. Strategy and plan – How do we get there?
4. Measurement and analytics – Are we getting there?
5. Results and evaluation – How did we do?
Research, Planning and Measurement Toolkit, CIPR, October 2010

24. Best practice process for selecting
and defining social media metrics
1. Audit – Where are we now?
2. Setting measurable objectives – Where do we need to be?
2.1 Define your measurable objective
2.2 Define your benchmark set – comparative / relative
2.3 Define the ideal metrics
2.4 Identify candidate metrics that combine to best meet your ideal definition(don't try
and make your metrics universal across the organisation, but apply different metrics for different audiences)
2.5 Tailor each one to your specific needs, recognising its shortcomings / limits
2.6 Document these steps to make the process auditable and more easily reviewed
2.7 Set a review date and owner.
1. Strategy and plan – How do we get there?
2. Measurement and analytics – Are we getting there?
3. Results and evaluation – How did we do?

25. Golden rules for metric selection
Only employ metrics that directly and obviously guide behaviour and performance
as required by strategic objectives
Metrics need each other – no metric can achieve what’s needed alone
Metrics must complement not compete
Just because something is easy to measure, or is already measured, doesnot
qualify it as a good metric
When you have a choice of two equally appropriate metrics, select the mostreadily
understood
Never employ fewer or more metrics than will suffice
Metrics with unneeded side effects aren’t quite right – redesign them; or,a metric
that can be gamed demands a complementary metric to ensure that it isn’t.
