On May 19^th The Work Crowd hosted a panel event to discuss what is modern PR in 2022. Is coverage now less of a priority and content creation more important? How are we measuring PR and social media activity?

The definition and value of PR is changing. Rapidly developing measurement tools with access to new data sets are accelerating the way PR professionals are measuring both PR and social media success. PR activity has become a broad definition for many types of activity. And since the pandemic, new forms of PR communication like webinars, podcasts and digital events are a new and diverse part of the PR tool-box.  

So what are PR professionals measuring now? And how well is the industry performing against AMEC's recommended evaluation framework? Who’s still using old style AVEs? Or are we getting closer to measuring Impact based KPIs? And whose doing this best? 

This webinar shines a light on key trends in PR activity and measurement. Whether you're a PR or social media freelancer, in-house team or work within an agency, this insightful webinar will show what your colleagues are sharing and what clients and stakeholders value.

Feel free to view the recording here for all the insights and key take-aways discussed.
