5. Step 1. Define the outcome
• Start by defining clear, precise, measurable goals
• Even if you don’t think you can measure PR’s impact on
the outcome, start with the assumption that you can – and
then work backwards to figure out how to measure it
• Anecdotal evidence
• Data-based evidence
• Correlation
• Contribution
• Causation

12. Lessons learned: It ain’t easy being inline
• Much easier to manage by channel than across channels
• Data sourcing and consistency challenges
• Differences in scale and knowledge base across media
• What’s more valuable?
• Chicago Tribune print story –or– WSJ.com online story
• Industry blog post –or– customer recommendation via Twitter
• Depends on objective, audience, message, tone, influence – not all
easily measured or compared across media channels
• Key considerations
• Total Impressions vs. Targeted Impressions – efficiency matters
• Earned CPM vs. Social CPM – very different scales, don’t equate
• Comparative Media Costs – useful to consider but inconclusive
• Engagement, CPE and Conversion – varies by channel, outlet
