PR is about your reputation and it is key to your brand’s success. But without a direct tie-in to revenue performance, PR can often be taken for granted by the C-suite.

What gets measured gets managed, but presenting the C-suite with a series of black-and-white data points about impressions, reach and even engagement doesn’t cut it — PR has to convey business impact and a clear contribution to growth. Whether it’s your earned media successes or how you mitigated a crisis, your ability to prove the value of your role is more important than ever.

Watch this PR Daily on-demand webinar for strategies to clearly demonstrate the value of PR to your organization and prove why PR deserves a seat at the decision-makers’ table and a larger slice of the budgetary pie.

Our 90-minute program will give you real solutions, practical strategies and a framework for positioning and proving the value of PR.

AGENDA

Panel
Talk the Talk: Build Your Business Acumen and Speak the C-Suite’s Language

To prove your worth, you need to understand what conversation to have. You will walk away from this session with practical tips on how to ensure you’re speaking the language leaders value most: contributions to the bottom line and the organization’s mission. You’ll learn how to:

  • Understand the Business: You can’t align your goals with the C-suite’s until you understand how the organization makes money – and how your actions contribute to it
  • Speak Their Language: Learn the vocabulary leaders use every day to discuss finances and how to adapt it to tell PR’s unique story.
  • Articulate AI’s Role in Your Future: With generative AI the elephant in the room, discover how to leverage AI to bolster PR’s position within the organization.
  • Tie PR Goals to Business Objectives: Learn how to connect PR strategy to business goals including market expansion, brand positioning, competitive landscape and product uptake.
  • Learn From Marketing: PR and marketing are closely aligned but marketing more often gets the kudos because it shows a direct relationship with growth. Execs who wear both marketing and comms hats demonstrate how they’ve been able to apply a more stringent business framework to their comms efforts and benefit as a result.

We’ll uncover:

  • Assigning the Right KPIs: Why you should have solid numbers on share of voice, UTM site traffic, media mentions and more. Plus how to surface this data.
  • The New Dashboard: Examples of PR Dashboards that will guide you and your team to success.
  • Case Study: How to identify and match the right KPIs to different types of PR campaigns, from media relations to crisis to brand launch initiatives.
