Measuring ROI on Public Relations

Over the years there has been numerous attempts by various people to give a "value" to press coverage so Managers could compare specific items of press coverage and say things such as "Wow, that was a great bit of coverage it scores a 98, whereas that coverage wasn't so good as it only gets a 15". 

Gauging marketing's Return on Investment fundamental for management

Many businesses we meet struggle to know whether the amount of time and money they spend on marketing is producing an effective return.

It is a common problem, but it needn't be this way.

By contrast, many B2B businesses have good metrics and a clear idea of the effectiveness or other areas of their spend. For instasnce, partnerships and consultancies are often rigorous in their keeping of timesheets and measuring billable hours, for instance.

 Each month, Kelso Consulting has an informal 'PR clinic' where we listen to your PR, social media, sales and marketing challenges and offer helpful advice... all for free.

These take place regularly in our central London office, near Oxford Street in W1, and also in Newbury, Berkshire - where we support technology and consultancy businesses in the Thames Valley, Oxfordshire and Hampshire areas.

We get a regular flow of coverage in the nationals for our clients, so we don't usually have a fanfare when something appears.

But securing two large articles for the same client in The Times's in successive weeks in its highly-read Money (personal finance) section is pretty exceptional, even by our high standards.

The campaign was "an exemplar of ambition, creativity and value for money" said the judges.

Kelso Consulting is delighted to announce that it was won a prestigious Excellence award from the Chartered Institute of Public Relations for a recent thought leadership campaign.
