There is no shortage of material on the web that offers guidance for measuring social media activities. However, little stands up to robust scrutiny. The metrics are inconsistent, the methods can be misguided and social strategies are not always linked to overall business and marketing objectives.

As the importance of social grows, there is a mounting need to evaluate it with the same rigour as that applied to more traditional channels, and with metrics that take an integrated, as opposed to channel-specific, approach.  In light of this, the IPA, IAPI’s UK sister organisation,

The UK Marketing Society and the UK Market Research Society launched a joint initiative in 2015, #IPASocialWorks, to identify good practice in social media effectiveness and measurement. More info on that initiative here and here.

The group behind the project have spent the last year researching how to identify campaign returns, which leads to a viable ROI. To coincide with publishing their findings in The Guide to Measuring not Counting: How to evaluate social media for marketing communications*, the co-authors will be running a one day workshop which will offer practical guidance on how to plan and measure the impact of social in an integrated campaign, how to address measurement challenges which arise from its dynamic and interactive nature, and identify what data to focus on.

What the course will cover?

The workshop will combine structured sessions and interactive working sessions.
