TERMINOLOGIE & SLOVNÍK TERMÍNŮ POUŽÍVANÝCH PRO MEŘENÍ A VÝZKUM V OBLASTI PR

Měření a analýzy jsou dnes součástí naprosté většiny diskuzí v oblasti businessu. Během své 20leté kariéry jsem nikdy nezažil tak obrovský zájem. Roste poptávka po produktech a službách firem, které se zabývají měřením komunikace či poskytují vlastní monitoringový servis. Podle zdrojů Ken Burbary je aktuálně na trhu takových subjektů přibližně 220 a toto číslo denně stoupá.

Fakt, že je na trhu velké množství dodavatelů těchto služeb, přitom způsobuje problémy. Velmi často se objevují rozdíly ve výsledcích měření podle toho či onoho poskytovatele. Dochází k aplikaci nevhodných či zcela nesprávných termínů a definicí. Například výrazy ‘OTS’, ‘readership’ (čtenost), ‘circulation’ (počet prodaných výtisků), nebo ‘audience reach’ (oslovení cílové skupiny) mají jiný význam, některé monitoringové společnosti je však vůbec nerozlišují. A podobných příkladů je celá řada, další takovou ukázkou je rozdíl mezi ‘hits’ a ‘page views’.

Pokud chceme tento problém vyřešit, je nutné abychom byli všichni upřímní a publikovali jen to, co je smysluplné a čemu sami věříme. Pokud chceme prosazovat jednotné standardy v rámci celého odvětví a navenek demonstrovat konzistentní a důvěryhodné přístupy k měření, musíme nejdříve sjednotit používané postupy a terminologii.

Naši přátelé z IPR (Institute of Public Relations) vytvořili nástroj, který nám k tomu skvěle poslouží. Slovník s názvem ‘Dictionary of Public Relations Measurement & Research’ vypracovala dvojice Don Stacks a Shannon Bowen a najdete v něm důkladně a jasně vypracované definice všem používaných termínů a jejich použití. Je dostupný ke stažení zde.

GUIDELINES FOR SETTING MEASURABLE PR OBJECTIVES

Americký institut IPR (Institute for Public Relations) v nedávné době publikoval aktualizovanou verzi Bílé knihy s názvem “Guidelines for Setting Measurable Public Relations Objectives”.

Hned na začátku tohoto průvodce se dozvíme, že před spuštěním jakékoliv PR aktivity je naprosto nezbytné nastavit si jasné a měřitelné cíle. Ty přitom musí být v souladu se strategickými cíli organizace a měly by být současně měřitelné, specifické, dosažitelné, relevantní a časově vymezené. Před spuštěním každé kampaně je nutné si jasně říci, kam míříme a čeho chceme dosáhnout.
Při měření efektivity komunikace nestačí pouze kvantifikovat výstupy. PR je třeba chápat jako prostředek k ovlivnění toho, jak naši značku vnímá veřejnost.

Bílá kniha, kterou vytvořili pracovníci IPR, poskytuje k tomuto důležitému tématu mnohem více informací. K její publikaci významně přispěli členové Measurement Commission IPR, jmenovitě Forrest W. Anderson, Planning & Evaluation Consultant, Linda Hadley, Senior Vice President, Research, Porter Novelli, David Rockland, Partner & CEO, Ketchum Global Research & Analytics, a Mark Weiner, CEO, PRIME Research Americas.
