Some of Sophie’s VlogViews:

“I think a digital department is great but at the end of the day it’s really about the integration. And integration means digital is no longer your website, it’s no longer your email, it’s no longer your database. It’s how every single component of your reputation comes together.”

“What we do is we actually sit down with our clients, and we argue with them of what is a qualified prospect. How do you qualify a lead? How do you know you’re converting the right consumer? How do you know that they will take the right purchase or action that you want them to take? And what is the fastest way for you to make sure they take it?”

“PR has always struggled with, how do you measure performance? How credible will your efforts be when it comes to looking at that bottom line, and we wanted to find a way to be able to demonstrate it and that’s how we build our agency.”

“What we’re experiencing is a lot of people say, ‘I do have a limited budget, I need to be very disciplined about my spending, I need to be able to prove to my organization that I get a great return.’ And we find that PR, when it comes to building reputation credibility is one of the most powerful discipline tools.”

Katie Paine, CEO of KD Paine & Partners, discusses the value of web placements, the reporting of web data, and the importance of driving traffic to a unique URL. Recorded at the Bulldog Media Relations summit.

Some of Katie’s VlogViews:

“You go to the four biggest reporters of web data and you’re going to get four completely different answers…You sit there and say, ‘pick one and be consistent’ and I think what happens is people are picking the ones that makes them look best.”

“[Web reporting] is really all this crazy technology driven stuff that really is just approximating where the number of people who might possibly be watching whatever it is that you’re doing, so that the actual real numbers of people you’re making a difference to is very suspect.”

“There is nothing more important than driving traffic to a unique URL. You have to have a unique URL if you’re going to measure anything because if not you really don’t know where things are coming from.”
