Evaluating Content: CS Forum 2010

Evaluation: distinguishing between the media & the content
CS Forum 2010, Paris, 16th April, 2010 by Clare O’Brien

Conventional media: quality content for mass audiences

When advertising was simple and content king

Media metrics: the framework of control

Processing audiences into human traffic

Marketers inevitably discover that the marketing metrics in place today fail to tell the full story about their customers. Even in online channels, where tracking individual behaviour is possible, the metrics like impressions and response rates are relics of a time when marketers controlled the messages. But so far, most marketers fail to take action.
Forrester, Measuring Engagement, June 08

Satisfaction with conversion rates?

Time to come up for air

It is insight into human nature that is the key to the communicator's skill. For whereas the writer is concerned with what he puts into his writings, the communicator is concerned with what the reader gets out of it. He therefore becomes a student of how people read or listen.
Bill Bernbach, co-founder, Doyle Dane Bernbach
