And even the most well-planned PR strategies can become obsolete or less effective if the market or public perception shifts – and you aren’t adjusting your strategy with it. Not to mention that in times of crisis or controversy, failure to respond to negative news in a timely manner could worsen a situation, resulting in damage to the brand’s reputation or a loss of trust with stakeholders.</span> </p> </div>  <div class="inline-articles bg-color-surface-new border-hidden rounded-sm p-1 mx-auto my-1.5 mamabear:w-2/3 inline-articles__before"> <h2 class="text-xl font-medium ml-1.5 my-1 text-color-text mamabear:text-center">Recommended by LinkedIn</h2> <div class="flex flex-wrap mx-0.5 babybear:mx-1.5"> <div class="content-author-card flex flex-col max-w-[270px] h-auto rounded-md border-1 border-system-gray-30 border-solid pb-1.5 inline-article mx-auto my-1 border-hidden papabear:w-[219px] babybear:min-w-full mamabear:min-w-full h-auto bg-color-canvas-tint"> <a class="no-underline" data-tracking-control-name="inline-recommended-articles" data-tracking-will-navigate href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-create-more-impact-harnessing-power-pr-mindset-trevor-young-mvafe"> <img class="content-image w-full h-[150px] bg-cover rounded-t-md object-cover" data-delayed-url="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D4E12AQHjCYurnhxRZg/article-cover_image-shrink_720_1280/article-cover_image-shrink_720_1280/0/1716191542342?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=Kb0YYXcB5Fe_UgELrMNIBB9CEUef1iRyXn3gzO9vpig"> <div class="inline-article-title text-md text-color-text font-bold pl-2 pt-1 pr-1.5">How to create more impact by harnessing the power of a…</div> <div class="inline-article-meta px-2 mt-1 font-sans text-xs font-normal text-color-text-low-emphasis h-full"> <span class="inline-article-author pt-0.5"> Trevor Young </span> <span class="before:middot pt-0.5 inline-article-published-date"> 7 months ago </span> </div> </a>  </div> <div class="content-author-card flex flex-col max-w-[270px] h-auto rounded-md border-1 border-system-gray-30 border-solid pb-1.5 inline-article mx-auto my-1 border-hidden papabear:w-[219px] babybear:min-w-full mamabear:min-w-full h-auto bg-color-canvas-tint"> <a class="no-underline" data-tracking-control-name="inline-recommended-articles" data-tracking-will-navigate href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/lovehate-relationship-cmos-discuss-prs-vital-role-driving-matt-heinz"> <img class="content-image w-full h-[150px] bg-cover rounded-t-md object-cover" data-delayed-url="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/C5612AQFjasmDbFiLLw/article-cover_image-shrink_600_2000/article-cover_image-shrink_600_2000/0/1615174492686?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=y3Ypg4uxB5t_5FdpTXpJtLJ8S0v5BUPUxO_OY756L-Q"> <div class="inline-article-title text-md text-color-text font-bold pl-2 pt-1 pr-1.5">A love/hate relationship: CMOs discuss PR's vital role…</div> <div class="inline-article-meta px-2 mt-1 font-sans text-xs font-normal text-color-text-low-emphasis h-full"> <span class="inline-article-author pt-0.5"> Matt Heinz </span> <span class="before:middot pt-0.5 inline-article-published-date"> 3 years ago </span> </div> </a>  </div> <div class="content-author-card flex flex-col max-w-[270px] h-auto rounded-md border-1 border-system-gray-30 border-solid pb-1.5 inline-article mx-auto my-1 border-hidden papabear:w-[219px] babybear:min-w-full mamabear:min-w-full h-auto bg-color-canvas-tint"> <a class="no-underline" data-tracking-control-name="inline-recommended-articles" data-tracking-will-navigate href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/cant-always-fun-games-lets-talk-pr-mariya-pallais"> <img class="content-image w-full h-[150px] bg-cover rounded-t-md object-cover" data-delayed-url="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D5612AQGy9W2ijCq8PQ/article-cover_image-shrink_720_1280/article-cover_image-shrink_720_1280/0/1687805181776?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=yiOFvJO2hId4T1G0PPL7mkpG_22Sq4jUl0ic53K2MPM"> <div class="inline-article-title text-md text-color-text font-bold pl-2 pt-1 pr-1.5">Can't Always Be Fun and Games- Let's Talk PR</div> <div class="inline-article-meta px-2 mt-1 font-sans text-xs font-normal text-color-text-low-emphasis h-full"> <span class="inline-article-author pt-0.5"> Mariya Pallais </span> <span class="before:middot pt-0.5 inline-article-published-date"> 1 year ago </span> </div> </a>  </div> </div> </div> <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <h3><span class>How to fix it:</span></h3> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>Build flexibility into your PR strategy from the start, designing your PR campaigns in such a way that they can be adjusted quickly, if needed.

When it comes to PR measurement, there are a lot of challenges getting in the way of a “single source of truth” that PR teams can trust and use as their baseline. One common mistake is focusing solely on so-called vanity metrics like </span><span class="font-[700]"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/redir/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecision%2Ecom%2Fresources%2Farticles%2Fbeyond-ave-measure-impact-earned-media%2F&urlhash=BneB&trk=article-ssr-frontend-pulse_little-text-block" target="_blank" data-tracking-control-name="article-ssr-frontend-pulse_little-text-block" data-tracking-will-navigate data-test-link>AVE</a></span><span class>, which lack needed context and are often unreliable.</span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>Consistency is also key with measurement – if you aren’t tracking the right metrics on a consistent basis, you can’t trust the numbers behind them or glean meaningful insight.</span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>Finally, consider the tools you’re using to measure – having the right tools in place is just as critical to ensure you’re getting a robust amount of intel to get a complete picture of your performance. </span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <h3><span class>How to fix it:</span></h3> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>Consider investing in more sophisticated media monitoring and social listening tools that can track media coverage, engagement, sentiment analysis, and other key performance indicators across all the channels your PR efforts take place, like social media, email, and traditional media. (Bonus – these are the same tools that can help you prove PR’s impact to the C-suite.) Review performance regularly – not just at the end of a campaign or fiscal year – to understand the effectiveness of ongoing efforts, track performance over time, and find opportunities to maximize your efforts. Consistent measurement will also help you identify any gaps in your current measurement strategy and understand where you can streamline it moving forward. </span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <h3><span class>Obstacle #5: It’s not you, it’s them (your goals, that is)</span></h3> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>Finally, if you’re not meeting your goals, you might need to look at your goals themselves.

A few years ago, Adobe conducted an audit of their media coverage, during which they discovered that 65% of the 3,000 outlets they pitched to only generated one story about the brand; meanwhile a group of about 500 outlets generated 75% of all quality coverage. The software giant now focuses on this smaller group of outlets, which saves time and money while producing better end results.</span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <h3><span class>How to Set Effective PR Campaign Goals</span></h3> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>When it comes to setting effective goals for your public relations and marketing campaigns, we recommend creating SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound). The SMART framework is designed to help teams focus, create structure, and prioritize what matters most. It also makes progress easier to track and evaluate, which can be particularly helpful for PR teams that struggle with proving impact. </span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>Here’s what the SMART goal framework looks like in practice:</span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class> <ul> <li><span class="font-[700]">Specific: </span><span class>Define what you want to accomplish as clearly and detailed as possible. In addition to asking yourself “What do you want to accomplish?” Consider who else will be involved and where you might see the results. For example, instead of a goal of “Improve media relations,” get even more specific with, “Increase brand mentions in top-tier industry publications"</span></li> <li><span class="font-[700]">Measurable: </span><span class>Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress. Include specific numbers when possible. For example, instead of “Enhance brand reputation,” get more specific with, "Achieve a 25% increase in positive </span><span class="font-[700]"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/redir/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecision%2Ecom%2Fresources%2Farticles%2Fwhat-is-brand-sentiment%2F&urlhash=T-2c&trk=article-ssr-frontend-pulse_little-text-block" target="_blank" data-tracking-control-name="article-ssr-frontend-pulse_little-text-block" data-tracking-will-navigate data-test-link>brand sentiment</a></span><span class>."</span></li> <li><span class="font-[700]">Achievable:</span><span class> Set goals that are ambitious yet realistic given your resources, budget, and time frame. Use past performance and industry benchmarks to decide what is realistic. For example, if you typically secure two executive interviews per year, aiming to increase that to five is more realistic than shooting for, say, 20; yet it is still ambitious at a 150% increase.</span></li> <li><span class="font-[700]">Relevant: </span><span class>Make sure your goal aligns with the broader PR team strategies and overall business objectives. Think about how achieving your goal could impact the organization. For example, if your company is launching a new product, a relevant goal might be, "Secure 50 media mentions of the new product within 30 days of launch." </span></li> <li><span class="font-[700]">Time-bound:</span><span class> Set a deadline for achieving your goal – whether it’s 30 days out of the official campaign launch, or by the end of the year. Committing to a time frame will create accountability and enable you to prioritize the efforts that will support your goals. For longer term goals, consider building in dates for milestones and various outputs to break it down and make it more manageable.</span></li> </ul> </span> </p> </div>  <div
