Quantifying PR’s Return on Investment (and why so many people get it wrong)
In the world of public relations, we see many promises for measuring public relations “return on investment” or “ROI.” Unfortunately, there exists much confusion surrounding “Quantifying ROI” (a measureable financial return) and “Proving Value” (a subjective measure which changes from company to company and even from one person to another within the same company). We in public relations undermine our professionalism by using these terms interchangeably (while the C-Suite certainly knows the difference). In this session, we share case studies for both proving value and generating a return on investment.
