The challenges of PR measurement

Directly linking PR efforts to metrics like sales, revenue or lead generation has been notoriously challenging due to the focus on long-term brand awareness and reputation management. Unlike direct marketing channels, where outcomes can be tracked through clicks, conversions, and sales, PR influences growth in a more complex and indirect way.

Our PR measurement services

We recognise the need to quantify the impact of public relations campaigns. EC-PR’s services offer:

  • Clear, actionable metrics: Our tools provide insights into direct outcomes and the broader impacts of your communication strategies.
  • Choice: Choose from two tailored services to suit your needs.

Measurement ‘Lite’

This foundational PR measurement service is included as standard for all clients, focusing on essential metrics such as Outputs and Outtakes.

Measurement Lite is designed to provide a clear view of publicity volume, impressions, and engagement.

Measurement ‘Grande’

For those seeking to understand the effectiveness of their PR campaigns in full, we have Measurement Grande, a fully bespoke PR measurement service.

It includes the Measurement Lite metrics plus bespoke metrics tailored to reflect the contribution of PR activities to your business objectives and in line with your budget.

This comprehensive service also measures Outcomes and Impact, aligning with SMART business goals and providing deeper insights into the tangible business value of PR.
