PR & Management Consultancies

Media evaluation is an effective tool to measure a brand or organisations performance in the terms of media coverage achieved - not just the quantity but the quality aspects such as favourability and key messages communicated.

Selected messages & issues (perscriptive) analysis gives independent evidence of your success with your chosen key messages and highlights any areas of the media that may need additional attention or initiatives.

Identifying messages & issues (open) analysis can be extremely valuable to a consultancy when pitching for new tasks or undertaking new projects for existing clients. You'll go to the presentation armed with an in-depth knowledge of the client's current positioning and the issues that the organisation is facing, using data produced by an independent and objective source. It also gives you a benchmark so that, once you've won the business, you can demonstrate your success by running a comparative analysis project at a later date.

When you are pitching or re-pitching for business, Impact Evaluation can provide additional insights for PR Planning providing a complete briefing on the communication issues in the sector, the market background and the competitive context. We can also conduct surveys amongst key journalists in the relevant media. See Audience research . All inputs which will set you apart from the competition in that pitch situation.

We can provide in-house training for consultancies on all aspects of media training, media evaluation, audience research and communication return on investment. If you prefer to keep your evaluation in-house we have a web based product for you.
