Circle of Fellows #17: Measuring the Effectiveness of Social Media


Listen Later

One of the most-discussed topics among marketers and communicators is social media measurement. (Did you know there’s a Conclave on Social Media Measurement Standards?) Everyone knows measuring the effectiveness of social media efforts is key. But how do you identify which metrics are meaningful in evaluating social media campaigns? Far too many communicators measure impressions (which aren’t all that impressive). Engagement means different things to different people. Measurement thought leader Katie Paine argues we will soon stop talking about “social” and conduct our measurement efforts based on the PESO model (Paid, Earned, Shared, and Owned).
In this installment of “Circle of Fellows,” four IABC Fellows discussed the meaning of ROI and how it can be applied to social media, other metrics of value (both for reporting to leadership and for identifying opportunities to make adjustments to your tactics), and influencer marketing as a means of obtaining better results through social media.
