PR professionals the world over seem to have decided that AVEs are a ridiculous way to measure PR. But what is less clear is what measures are being used in their place. This conference aims to answer this question.

Do you understand how to robustly measure the impact of your PR? Are you concerned about how to measure the impact of social media on your brand? Do you worry about how to integrate your PR agency into your evaluation effort? And how much should PR and social media evaluation cost? AVE's are either dead or dying but what are leading global brands using instead?

To answer these questions, and more, attend our PR and ROI: Who is Getting the Best Return on Investment Conference. See the full speaker program below the booking form.
