Super Six Steps to Effective PR Measurement

- Define your objective(s)
- Define your audience(s)
- Define the metrics you will use
- Benchmark this against yourself or your competition
- Pick your measurement tool
- Analyze the results

Too often the public relations campaign goal is media clips rather than business goals, like building relationships with key stakeholders, or driving sales. The question should be, “what keeps your big boss up at night?” And helping to drive that objective, whatever it is in your industry or organization, should be the focus.
