“Don’t pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.” Andy Warhol

Thanks to social media, PR has a plethora of tools to measure placements, responses, reactions and yes, sales.
Therein lies the challenge: what measurement tools do you use to find out what types of information?
On October 4, Pete Codella and I will answer this question at Ragan’s PR Measurement Summit. I’m honored to be among the PR pro speakers and look forward to learning from them. Here’s a description of our session.
