This document summarizes a presentation on using paid, owned, and earned media to build brands. It discusses how brands can use different combinations of these three categories of media (POE) in their strategies. The presentation reports on a study that measured the effects of four POE combinations on brand equity for eight brands over six months. It found that using a combination of paid and owned media had the largest positive effect on brand awareness and impression. While earned media added trust, it also seemed to disrupt a clear brand image. The most effective media strategies used paid, owned and earned media together rather than in isolation.
