For most PR leaders, December and January presents an opportunity to look back and to plan ahead. End of <\/strong>year evaluation meetings or planning sessions are a chance to analyse the impact that campaigns have had and how activity has influenced business objectives. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of questions we ask ourselves. What worked well? And not so well? What should we do in the year ahead? How do we reach the right people and what messages do we need to convey? And crucially \u2013 do we have the right partners in place to meet our new objectives? But when it comes to providers, particularly monitoring and measurement partners, too often businesses choose to stick with \u2018the devil they know\u2019 \u2013 shying away from change, or being tied into contracts without regularly revisiting and reviewing them<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some are hesitant to change because they\u2019ve been burned before. When we speak with PR teams, we often hear about providers promising a lot, but not delivering \u2013 particularly those who rely heavily on technology for a low price point. Teams have come to realise that technology alone cannot provide the same level of nuanced analysis and useful insights of humans (indeed, our recommendation to all of our clients is to use a blended approach of machine and human, or as we like to call it, automation and curation). We also know that businesses\u2019 needs are fast changing, and that they are often presented with inflexible solutions which can\u2019t scale and grow alongside them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if media measurement isn\u2019t always working, what makes people resist change?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hesitation partly comes because if companies have been burned once, naturally they don\u2019t want to be burned again \u2013 but primarily it\u2019s because change is complex. We know that when you change providers there are many moving parts \u2013 from the time it takes to get a new system up and running, to getting buy in from senior stakeholders, to ensuring that teams know how to use the tools and get the best out of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But change doesn\u2019t have to be difficult. Often, the fear of a protracted and difficult process is unfounded \u2013 and instead the process can be smooth and rewarding if led by an experienced team who are able to help with implementation and onboarding. In addition to onboarding plans, CARMA provides additional consultancy and support to new clients who are moving away from an existing measurement programme. This includes tailored presentations to senior stakeholders, formalised plans for transitioning from outdated metrics to improved ones, unlimited regional team training, and workshops with external agencies or collaborating teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crucial too, is ongoing support. The best providers offer consultancy and help after implementation, helping clients get the most from their tools as their needs evolve and grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the rewards for getting this right can be great. We know that better media monitoring leads to actionable insight, which helps you to better manage your reputation and respond to crisis situations, elevate your brand with key opinion leaders, and better know your industry and competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you\u2019re not getting everything you want from your provider, the new year can present a good juncture to consider a change. Indeed, when the fear of change is alleviated, PR leaders can concentrate on the road ahead \u2013 delivering on their plans and objectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

T<\/strong>o make change smooth and manageable, and to make sure you\u2019re getting the right solution for you, take a look at our checklist of what you should look for in a partner.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
