Turning Point 2010

Watershed Moment
- 2009 – Institute for Public Relations (IPR) Measurement Commission “condemns the name, concept and practice of ad value equivalencies”
- Earned media space does not equal paid media space (credibility)
- Media cost does not equal media value
15
Now What? Barcelona and Beyond
- 2010: Barcelona conference on Measurement- 200 esteemed specialists from five global organizations- Birth of “The Barcelona Principles”
- 2011: Lisbon Legacy: A 2020 Measurement Agenda- A coalition working together
16
The Barcelona Principles
1. Importance of goal setting and measurement- Goals should be quantitative (increasing revenue or customer satisfaction)- Measurement should include traditional AND social media (and their effect on stakeholders
2. Measure outcomes vs. outputs- Measure the effect of your efforts; not just what you did (releases, clips, events, etc.)
3. Effect on business results can and should be measured where possible
4. Media measurement requires quantity AND quality (prominence, tone, sentiment)
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- Reveal and explain the method your are using- Adopt a program that can be repeated
17
To Sum it Up
- It’s not just about media and clip counting – measure your program, including social
- Always evaluate quality and message, not just quantity- Real world: Some clients and executives still want AVEs –
nothing better out there yet - Transparency is key during this transition- Shift focus to business outcomes – awareness, understanding,
attitudes, behaviors, engagement, sales, market share- Back to basics
