Every year in November, the world\u2019s PR and communications industry turns its close attention to the importance of measurement and evaluation. AMEC<\/a>, the global trade association that represents best practice in PR measurement, co-ordinates and runs a series of educational events that show case meaningful measurement, data, analytics and insights right across the month.<\/p>\n

As AMEC\u2019s chair, I have the honor of speaking at the launch event of Measurement Month. Unbelievably, AMEC is rapidly approaching its 25th<\/sup> anniversary having been founded in 1996. As one of the first few members of AMEC, it seems incredible to me that the association can be approaching this milestone. Not least as it also marks a personal milestone for me \u201325 years since I \u2018jumped ship\u2019 from being a PR practitioner to working on the other side in measurement and evaluation.<\/p>\n

In celebration then of AMEC\u2019s forthcoming silver jubilee, I took the opportunity to look back at the evolution of PR measurement, and the critically important role that the association has played in driving the industry forward.  I reflect on how in an age where we have all become used to so much disruption, the need for meaningful measurement has grown ever more important. I discuss the evolution of our free resources and tools, especially the Barcelona Principles, the Valid Metrics Frameworks, the Social Media Measurement Frameworks, AMEC\u2019s Integrated Evaluation Framework and the Measurement Maturity Mapper.<\/p>\n

I also look to the future where I highlight opportunity and challenges. Without spoiling the content of the video, it\u2019s worth saying that the top challenge is the need for communicators to resist the urge to believe that just counting basic \u2018activity-related\u2019 metrics is akin to meaningful measurement.  In an era where budgets are under intense pressure, just pointing to activity will not suffice. That makes you a cost center to your organization. To defend and enhance budgets in 2021 PR professionals must demonstrate the value that they create for their organization. It\u2019s not as hard as it might sound and I explain how.<\/p>\n

My webinar fast paced and light-hearted and is available to watch again on demand<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am also thrilled to shine a light on my brilliant colleagues at CARMA UK who are supporting Measurement Month with a series of forthcoming live events over the next few weeks. First up, later today, will be Orla Graham who is in conversation with influencer marketing expert Scott Guthrie. They will be discussing Influencers, PR & measurement and there’s still time to register for the event<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the 12th<\/sup> November, CARMA\u2019s commercial director and industry veteran Jason Weekes, will be demystifying PR Measurement<\/a>, and exploring ways to make analysis and evaluation easier to deliver. Jason has a wealth of experience in this area and will be sharing some valuable tips.<\/p>\n

On the 26th<\/sup> November, CARMA\u2019s client services director, Alison Williams will be providing a highly relevant case study where she will showcase how to use data to tell a meaningful measurement story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My CARMA colleagues from around the world are also supporting Measurement month in their regions. You can see a full list of events with sign up and catch up details all on this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
