The measurement of earned media needs a change. Compared with their paid media counterparts — who are able to report on exactly how each digital ad affected revenue, as well as definitive information about the audience the ad reached — earned media’s metrics often don’t stack up. While earned media is more influential than paid, because of the lack of measurement, paid media often receives the lion’s share of the marketing budget.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, as reported by Reuters, said: “The US is very, very competitive right now between us and Lyft, so I don’t see the US as being a particularly profitable market for … READ MORE ».

Almost everything could benefit from increased transparency. Politics, art, Hollywood … the list goes on and on, and crypto coin companies are no exception. In fact, they may need to focus on transparency over and above the normal need. That may be because of the origin of this concept with Bitcoin, and cybercurrency companies who should consider more transparency.

Understanding the facts about media attribution & the ROI of Growth PR. Many PR software companies claim to be able to measure the impact of Earned Media. Unfortunately, understanding what technologies can truly measure the ROI of your efforts can be confusing. Some companies that claim to have PR attribution only measure press releases and not earned media articles, while others use traffic panels that merely guesstimate the traffic coming back to your site.

Leaked internal communications can be strategically valuable assets rather than just risks to manage. When used proactively, these leaks can highlight leadership and innovation—qualities that resonate in today’s media. By approaching internal comms with a dual-purpose approach, companies shift from mere risk avoidance to leveraging these moments as credible public messages around strategy.

But for every example of a negative story, there’s a good takeaway to incorporate into our professional lives.

In a recent interview , an anonymous marketing executive claimed micro-influencers are the biggest scam in marketing, made up of tiny influencers who will do anything for a kickback. This argument might convince some, but to suggest all micro-influencers are desperate for any deal feels like a clickbait assumption. The truth is this: If you’re not seeing returns from your micro-influencers or brand ambassadors, it’s more likely that your brand is doing something wrong.

A Guest Post by April Pensa, Student, Marist College. A common misconception is that most college students enter their freshman year already having their major declared. The truth is a majority of college freshmen enter undeclared, questioning what career path is right for them. As an undeclared student myself, I know how difficult and frustrating this can be.
Journalists receive an overwhelming number of press releases daily, making it hard for your news to stand out. While some news is valuable, most is not.

What’s the difference between a well-executed political campaign and a well-run public relations campaign? As it turns out, not that much. Both require smart strategy and a dedicated team to get the job done. And it’s no secret that some of the sharpest PR minds work in politics. But national contests, with their grueling timeframe, millions in paid media, and complex primary structure, aren’t really typical.
