13.00 Measuring Impact Against Attention
When it comes down to it, we all work in the attention business. Some call it public relations or marketing or branding. But no matter how you refer to it, it’s all about getting, keeping, and leveraging attention. And when we start measuring our efforts against attention, our impact becomes crystal clear.

13.40 Collapse PR Data Silos to Deliver Meaningful Measurement at Scale
Most PR practitioners combine “generating a return on PR investment” with “proving PR value” when the two hold very different meanings: “ROI” refers to a quantifiable financial return while “value” is a subjective measure that changes from one organization to the next (or even from one person to another within the same organization). PR-ROI comes in three forms: Connecting PR with sales (the sexy one); Avoiding catastrophic cost (the big one); and Efficiency, (the most accessible). Efficiency means “doing more with less or for less.” In this session, Mark will focus on PR efficiency as a contributor to ROI using a case study from Adobe, the multinational software company.
