Media Measurement Through the Lens of Online Influence

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Meausuring online influence is complicated - there is no magic number to determine it. Companies usually approach influence measurement by simplifying the problem and making it one-dimensional but it's all contextual and has multiple dimensions. Limiting the scope limits the insights. So what is the right way to approach measuring online influence? This presentation lays out five rules to follow.

to measure each dimension, there are disparate datatypes.

Participation happens across multiple platforms. For each platform, there are different ways of measuring performance.

simplify the problem – one dimension,one platform.If influence means how much others talk about your content,

and if retweets measure of how your content travels,

then retweets measure influence.

limiting the scope limits the insights.

The value of the measurement is often lost before starting the computation.

#ttmm | tRAACKR 2010 | PAge 16

complexify the solution – the ‘secret sauce’.

Mathematicians apply their science and build complex algorithms. Measurement Marketers want to impress customers with the ‘silver bullet’ to measuring influence.
