How To Measure, Monitor And Analyze The Effectiveness Of Your Traditional And Social Media Strategies
The borders between traditional media (radio, TV, newspapers, magazines) and social media (blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) are becoming increasingly blurry. We’re socially sharing and commenting on mainstream news stories, and journalists are bringing stories that emerge on Twitter to the 5 o’clock news.
As government communicators, you not only need to understand how to operate in this integrated new media world, but also how to properly measure your impact within it.
By attending this workshop, you’ll learn how:
- You can use analysis to set strategy, create content, and measure results
- To effectively leverage social media channels to reach journalists and disseminate key messages
- Social media influences traditional media and vice versa
- Monitoring, measurement and analysis of social and traditional media requires an integrated approach
