About the Event

Welcome to the Virtual Crisis Communications Measurement Masterclass with Katie D. Paine, the PR Measurement Queen!

In the last two years, the world of communications as we know it has changed. Engagement has supplanted revenue, stock price and/or market share as a key measure of success. The ability to attract and keep talent has replaced profitability as a top concern. Politicization and social division have changed the nature of truth and influence.

We’ve been told for years to “measure what matters.”  But if we’ve learned anything from these terrible, horrible no-good times, is that what used to matter, doesn’t anymore. As a result, we need to rethink what we measure. To survive in this new environment, the entire concept of measurement and particularly measurement in a crisis needs to flip. 

Attending our exclusive Masterclass with Katie D. Paine will help you achieve that!
