THE DYNAMICS OF EFFECTIVE MEASUREMENT

With 2023 planning in full swing, and more scrutiny than ever on ROI, I wanted to share some of my key takeaways from last week’s Effie leadership summit about the dynamics of effective measurement. We know evaluating direct impact in terms of audience attitudes and opinions is a critical component of any campaign, but brands must ensure that measurement is the foundation of your comms framework is built upon, rather than a last-minute consideration. This gives greater weight to the measurement; ensures we are all on the same page from the outset and prevents any reverse engineering. There is no holy grail to measurement. Each campaign needs a tailored approach so brands and their advisors need to start the process by defining what effectiveness means for them:

Is it a sword or a shield?

Are we fighting to grow or are we looking to protect our market share from new players?

How will results feed into your broader Marketing Communications evaluation matrix?

What do you need to do to secure internal stakeholder buy-in before – and recognition of the success after – the campaign

Cirkle can help brands to define these parameters and then map out a customised measurement matrix that focuses on three core areas:

  • Outputs – The immediate impact on the audience (CTA / shares / consumer participation)
  • Outtakes – The response / engagement from earned and social media
  • Outcomes – How the campaign impacts perceptions, attitudes, and behaviours (and ultimately drives commercial value)

Once these are defined, we can put the benchmarks and KPIs in place to measure pre- and post-campaign. Get in touch if you would like to discuss your path to #impakt with Cirkle: claire.hadrill@cirkle.com

In today's competitive business landscape, Public Relations (PR) plays a pivotal role in establishing a strong brand presence and fostering business success. Here we delve into the world of PR, shedding light on all of its guises and how, if executed well, it can have a positive impact on businesses and brands. So first up, let’s begin with the question you might often get asked by your family and friends….what is Public Relations?

Section 1: What is Public Relations?

Public Relations, often abbreviated as PR, is a strategic communication process that businesses and organisations use to build mutually beneficial relationships with their target audience. It is all about managing and shaping perceptions to maintain a positive image and reputation in the eyes of the public. PR encompasses a wide array of activities and techniques, including media outreach, content creation, and event planning.

One crucial aspect of PR is Media Relations. PR professionals work closely with journalists and media outlets to secure positive coverage for their clients. This coverage can range from news articles and interviews to press releases and features. Effective media relations can greatly enhance a company's visibility and credibility.

 

Section 2: The Different Types of PR

PR is a multifaceted discipline, and there are various types of PR activities that businesses can engage in to achieve their goals. Here are some key types:

  1. Influencer Engagement: In the age of social media, influencers hold significant sway over their followers. PR agencies often collaborate with influencers to promote products or services, leveraging their reach and credibility to connect with a broader audience.
  2. Brand Building: Building and maintaining a strong brand image is at the core of PR. A well-crafted brand identity fosters trust and loyalty among consumers, making it a critical component of any PR strategy.
  3. Social Media Public Relations: With the rise of social media platforms, businesses must actively manage their online presence. Social media PR involves creating engaging content, responding to comments, and managing crises that may arise in the digital realm.

Section 3: The Importance of a Strong Brand

A strong brand is the cornerstone of any successful business. Here's why brand building is vital in PR:

Positive PR: A well-established brand tends to receive more positive PR. Consumers trust and prefer brands they recognize and feel a connection with, making them more likely to engage with and purchase from that brand.

Negative PR: Conversely, a strong brand can better weather negative PR incidents. By having a solid reputation, businesses can recover more swiftly from setbacks and mitigate potential damage.
