Evaluating your various PR efforts is an ongoing process that is at times frustrating and rewarding. How are you measuring your PR and what challenges you face as we head closer to 2008? Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts in this Measurement Survey, co-presented by PR News and BurrellesLuce.

Your particular responses will be held in strict confidence but the overall results will allow us to provide you with a clearer picture of the state of PR measurement.

As a bonus for responding, you will receive the results of the survey and a copy of the new report from BurrellesLuce: “Make it Easy, but Get it Right: Practical Tips for Media Measurement.”
