PR’s continuing relevance?

PR today and the crucial role of measurement and evaluation.
The experts agree. PR will be one of the professions most encroached by AI. Meanwhile, the influence of mainstream media continue to crumble as influencers and content makers scramble to take their place. Can PR continue to remain relevant, especially in the fast-changing, hyper-plugged in societies in Asia?

Understanding the Agency’s Measurement Journey

Whether you work for an agency or hire an agency for support it’s important to understand where they are on their own measurement journey to find the best partner.

Keynote:

Measurement’s mission should be to generate and sustain the brand scores

The job of all types of brand communications – Paid, Earned or Owned – is to generate Brand Recall, Engagement and finally, Reputation across all stakeholders of a business organization. It supports the process of generation and sustenance of business demand.

Public Relations and Corporate Communications is the key custodian of Brand Reputation. The function is meant to support CXO KRAs. Measurement should be a reflection and driver of Brand Reputation building process.

To execute this successfully, one needs a huge assembly line of ERPs – efforts, resources and processes. More importantly, it needs to convince the C-suite – end customer of Measurement and Analytics – in their language, about the true potential of PR and Corporate Communications. An Indian Case Study will demonstrate how this was designed and executed.

Vanity isn’t strategic

Avoiding bias in your data to indentify insights. Jacquie has heard it all when it comes to media analysis. Prospective clients have come to Medianet Insights with the misconception that media evaluation is ‘too hard’, ‘too expensive’, and isn’t something their organisation needs.

Communicating for Impact: ADB Journey From Outputs To Outcomes

Andrew Perrin – Principal Communications Specialist, Asian Development Bank (ADB)

ADB is the largest multilateral development bank in Asia and the Pacific. Headquartered in Manila, Philippines, it recently adopted a communications measurement and evaluation framework, aligned with the Barcelona Principles, that is now being piloted and soon will be rolled out to communicators across the Bank and its 47 country offices. This session will focus on why ADB chose to introduce a framework, how it was developed, the challenges faced, and the impact it has already had on ADB’s communications effectiveness and efficiency.

FIVE PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS:

  • Why a measurement and evaluation (M&E) approach makes sense for an organization like ADB
  • Practical steps to introduce an M&E framework that aligns with an organization’s mission
  • Insight into the framework in action: from logic model to application
  • Understanding of challenges on an M&E journey and ways to address them
  • The future of communications in a development context and how M&E framework will help get us there
