the challenges of measuring social media
DESCRIPTION
There are many challenges to measuring social media. Platforms and tools make it easy to measure information that is not relevant rather than measuring what matters. Irrespective of this, no two platforms provide the same data anyway. To get maximum benefit, a PR pro must stick to the basics, focussing on goals, objectives, strategies and tactics. Armed with this they can identify what success looks like and shape the metrics accordingly.TRANSCRIPT
