The Consultants’ View Richard Houghton President, ICCO
16
Consultants and evaluation – the challenge Consultants do want to evaluate, absolutely! But things get in the way...
17
Consultants and evaluation – the challenge Budget, budget, budget Evaluation as a competitive differentiator Not all consultants feel equipped for the discussion Lack of agreement on what should be measured “If the client wants AVEs they get AVEs” Lack of consistent methodologies Diverse and simplistic Not comparable with other marketing disciplines’ evaluation methodologies Fear of the results?
18
What consultancies want to know? Has the campaign met the objectives? What has worked well and what needs focus? Messages Creative Channels What impact has the campaign had on the ‘business’ Does it compare well with other PR campaigns and ideally other marketing campaigns
19

IPR’s focus is on three-kinds of research* Research used in public relations To guide and evaluate communications programs In other words, planning research and measurement Research on public relations To understand what we do and how we do it Benchmarking, best practices and the business of public relations Research for public relations Our basic research and social science underpinnings Often borrowed from other fields Props to Dr. James E. Grunig

Questions we are asking our Board Does the Grunig model of three kinds of research still provide a valid construct for the profession’s research agenda? How should we balance involvement in basic research vs. benchmarking, planning and measurement research? What big-picture research topics would you add to the list to help you manage better?
31
IPR’s potential research topics What changes behavior? How different audiences think, what’s important to them Broader context for social media, what to measure, what it means Restoring reputation against backdrop of loss of trust What skills/qualifications should influence our hiring Research models enabling us to predict the probability of an outcome The business of public relations Diversity in our business Understanding generational differences

Association for the Measurement and Evaluation of Communications Mike Daniels Report International Chair, AMEC
33
Measurement’s growing 14% growth last year says measurement is becoming more embedded Clients increasingly seeing the need for measurement … Even if they’re not sure what represents best practice AMEC driving credibility Social media key opportunity BUT…
34
From tactical to strategic Clients demanding way more insight… The market research mantra really works Move beyond data and outputs What worked 15 or 20 years ago isn’t enough now Need to accept that clients demand greater insight Brand Advocacy Reputation Competitor insight Planning/ROI Business/strategy recommendations
35
Upping our game Outputs by themselves don’t cut it any more Staying with data means staying tactical means lower value Need to move towards business and organisation outcomes Clients will thank (and pay) us for partnering, not simply servicing Demands active acceptance of… Research standards in measurement (no lip service!) Speed of delivery Integration Broader application within the organisation Greater insight
