Smart PR practitioners know that measurement is the key to success in getting a larger share of the budget and proving PR’s worth to senior management. But there remains confusion and mysticism around the topic of measurement - can it really be done - and how? Join us on December 10th for a hands-on measurement workshop that will provide you with the knowledge, the tools and resources to improve your communications initiatives with savvy measurement techniques.

This workshop presented by PR News in partnership with the Institute for PR is purposely limited to 20 attendees so that you can share ideas, brainstorm solutions and get all your questions answered by our distinguished faculty, which includes experts from MasterCard, Boston University, IPR and TNS.

This full-day workshop will cover:
  • Dashboards, share of discussion, content analysis, social media... what’s it all about?
  • Survey, descriptive and analytical research
  • Primary and secondary research
  • Sampling, reliability, and statistical significance
  • Question and questionnaire construction
  • Linking public relations to sales and other business outcomes
  • Brand & reputation measurement
  • What is "Media" today, and how do you measure outcomes?
  • Measuring social media
  • Smarter buying, smarter selling of research
  • Buying only the research you need and will use
  • Developing specs and contracting for research services
  • Convincing upper management and clients to commit budget to research

Plus, Q&A throughout the course of the workshop.
