INTEGRATION
Self-Confidence, Sharing Resources, Acceptance
of Larger Goals are Keys to IntegrationThe question, then, is why do some brands, non-pro�t
organizations and government departments continue to
keep their PR and marketing units in silos, separated by
�gurative and sometimes literal canyons? Depending on
the company, it can be a relatively easy question to an-
swer. The reasons often have little to do with business ob-
It’s a fair assumption that integrating PR and marketing is a
good way to achieve long-term business results. “The oppor-
tunity is so great, it would be naïve of us not to recognize the
importance of integrated communications and marketing,”
says consultant Matt Gonring, a former VP, communications,
Jackson National Life, a �nancial services �rm.
I will never forget one of my �rst experiences in PR measure-
ment. I was talking to a smart young man about a calculation
I found intriguing. He interrupted and said, “I do PR. I don’t
do math.” That was the �rst time I explained that you don’t
need to excel at math to measure the success of your PR
efforts. Excel spreadsheets do the math for you. Seriously,
though, measurement is about far more than numbers.
Effective measurement looks behind the numbers to
�nd insights—ways to optimize strategy to ensure that
messages resonate with your
audiences. Numbers are re-
sults; they do not represent the
impact of your PR efforts.
As an analogy, when you take a trip, you tally the number
of miles that you drove for the day. Those miles are the re-
sults of your driving. If you use GPS, you also will be advised
if there is a better route to take to make your journey better—
perhaps there are breathtaking viewpoints to enjoy along the
