Business Case and Social Media
Richard Edelman “For the first time, [public relations] has
access to the money that is digital.”
Paul Taaffe “Though digital is still a competitive space,
PR agencies will continue to take an increasing share as the market expands.”
Marian Salzman “[Public relations] won't win the tech
wars ... we'll have to prove value in the message creation department.”

But, Fundamentals Aren’t New
“The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest problem in the relations between human beings, and in the end the communicator will be confronted with the old problem, of what to say and how to say it.”
- Edward R. Murrow

Business Case and Social Media
“As the industry begins to show signs of life again, a number of familiar themes surface ... one of these is an emphasis on measurement, especially in a digital age."

Business Case and Social Media
Ray Kotcher “Measurement is exploding in importance.”
Paul Taaffe “Marketing clients are increasingly
demanding the measurement and ROI piece.”

Business Case and Social Media
“My job was simply to call reporters and get stories placed. Their job is literally to be involved in conversations. It's such a better job.”
Richard Edelman

Measuring Social Media’s Value
Not long ago, social media ROI was little more than counting eyeballs, blog RSS readers, Facebook fans, and Twitter followers.
Today, smart companies are measuring social media ROI against clear business objectives, such as customer engagement or revenue
![Page 14: The Business Case for Social Media](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070515/587c21ac1a28abb5068b65f3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Social Media: The New Channel
Erin Nelson, CMO, Dell “I think [social media] can and has to [be
measured].” “We're focused on ‘does it enhance the
customer experience?’ Does it look like revenue and profit are following?
“I know engagement with a fan on Facebook is a really good thing. I don't measure if that shortens the sales cycles.”
“The things I can measure I feel great about. Those I can't I'm not losing sleep about.”

Before You Can Measure
You must set objectives by answering four questions: Whom are you seeking to affect? What about them are you seeking to affect? How much is a successful affect? By when will this affect have occurred?
“If you don’t know where you’re going,it’s hard to know if you’ve arrived.”

Your Role
Put program objectives into business terms Shift the conversation to outcomes (behavioral,
attitudinal), from outputs (clips) to show how social media drives business performance.
Ensure adequate budget 3 – 7 percent of the total (USC Annenberg)
Use measurement prescriptively to change and improve the program
Consult measurement specialists, as needed
