AI’s influence on PR measurement has been a topic of discussion for years. AI-based models are already employed in areas of communications evaluation, media intelligence and risk monitoring. This applies to PR agencies, in-house analytics teams, and specialized measurement agencies. Within PR measurement, various AI solutions are leveraged to enhance data collection and insights, refine methodologies, and develop new services and products. Embracing AI is imperative in our industry due to client demands for faster reports and metrics delivery, evaluation of larger data and content sets, and a balance of low cost and high accuracy. This presents a delicate balance, and many in the measurement domain are aiming to find the equilibrium.

The accessibility of tools like ChatGPT, particularly its Pro version, coupled with increasing interest in AI and data proficiency, has paved the way for numerous DIY (do-it-yourself) PR measurement initiatives. Why is this trend encouraging for the overall evolution of measurement expertise? And in the same time, why should anyone considering a third-party tool for PR measurement be fully informed about its capabilities, limitations, and data usage guidelines? This session delves into these matters, showcasing a live DIY demonstration with ChatGPT Pro and some basic, yet fundamental PR measurement tasks. We will discuss the implications, when you can rely on such tools and how you can integrate them in a solid measurement framework. We will also highlight essential considerations such as copyright, licensing, personal data protection and data security.

Leadership is increasingly asking questions like “why?” and “so what?” It is no longer sufficient to present vanity metrics, like large “impressions” numbers, to show the value of public relations. Measurement can be used to answer the hard questions more strategically.

Learn both the “why” and “how” of media measurement so you can make sense of numbers, show impact and make better decisions. PR Measurement 101 will outline a framework for media measurement that you can apply to your work, the science beneath the art of public relations.

Hear from experts on the latest techniques, tools and case studies about the use of data in modern communications.

Can values provide the key for communicators struggling to navigate complexity, anticipate change, and build relationships with audiences?

– How do values vary with geography and across generations, and what are the values gaps?
– What are the seven Values Archetypes?

Within the context of “AMEC Measurement Month” we invite you to join our upcoming professional update #webinar. This session we will delve into the significance of data and its strategic use in establishing and developing a solid communications plan.

Fake news, disinformation, misinformation, propaganda, psyops, cognitive warfare, information warfare, information operations, etc. We use so many terms when we talk about the dissemination of information that is intentionally deceptive, manipulative, or designed to influence perceptions and opinions.

This raises important questions:

– Do all of these terms refer to the same phenomenon and is there an accurate way of using them?
– What are we actually tracking and analysing?
– Can we measure the spread of disinformation and its impact on audiences?
– How can media intelligence technologies help us navigate this intricate web of deceptive information so we can craft effective communication strategies?

As part of AMEC’s Measurement Month, experts from A Data Pro and Identrics will participate in an hour-long webinar where they will offer invaluable insights on how different methodologies and technologies can be used to not only detect and understand the dynamics of deceptive information but also to proactively shape communication strategies that mitigate the influence of falsehoods and foster a more informed public discourse.
