“The history of PR is… a history of a battle for what is reality and how people will see and understand reality.” — Stewart Ewen

With the explosive growth of social media in recent years, it’s clear that reputation management continues to grow in importance. Yet, how does one make an effective campaign for reputation management? Launching effective marketing campaigns comes down to establishing specific objectives and being consistent with your consumer base.

Establishing Specific Objectives

Establishing a clear objective can greatly help the process of launching a marketing campaign. As this article by PRNEWS explains, defining what you are trying to accomplish, and the audience you are attempting to reach leads to more focused intelligence gathering. This intelligence leads to a better understanding of, “where people are coming from, what they feel, what makes them feel that way, and what you can do about it.” While this information is often subjective, being aware of it aids in addressing common customer experience issues.

To further aid in this process, this article by Wrike gives a comprehensive explanation of what marketing metrics are, why they matter, and how to identify them. It also provides a list of examples of key marketing metrics for building an effective portfolio.
