Strategy of the Week

There are so many tools available for measurement these days that choosing a methodology - much less a vendor or research partner - has become a task unto itself. Before you
implement any program, make sure your goals match the method you're using to measure. You may not need to conduct an in-depth, expensive media analysis if your ultimate goal for
the PR program is to increase sales leads.

In a recent PR NEWS Webinar on "Measuring the Impact of PR on Your Company's Bottom Line," Katie Paine of KDPaine & Partners offered attendees a look at appropriate tools
for a variety of desired outcomes. (Contact: Katie Paine, [email protected])
