Both digital and traditional PR has become more and more intertwined, and this has only been accelerated by COVID.

Take a Deeper Dive
In a recent article, PR Week talked about the four different ways in which Covid has changed the PR industry "indefinitely." One of these was around ROI and the fact that due to budget restrictions, brands are now demanding "greater reporting in the form of tangible returns on their investment." Whilst this has always been important, and part of any efficient brand strategy, the uncertainty of many industries has just made this need for reporting more important. Going one step further, it is also useful to be able to compare a mention in a top-tier magazine, with an influencer campaign, in order to understand the value of different marketing activities a brand activates. This can help in terms of increasing sales by making smarter decisions, but also in understanding which tactics resonate with a target audience.
Using software technology such as Discover can help with this, as the app applies one unified metric (MIV®) in order to compare the value of mentions across print, online, and social media. You can read more about how MIV® works in this article if you are interested.
