Can social media success really have an impact on share price?

Contrary to expectation, markets are very emotional places…and individual share prices are often influenced by sentiment as much as the fundamentals. Every IR and PR professional knows this and they know the power that 3rd parties like the financial press have to drive sentiment. Many believe that social media can have a similar impact but there’s not been much hard data to support that view. However as reported, our recent Social Media and the City...

De-blurring the publishing boundaries: bought, owned, earned and shared media

The headline reporting a new study from Nielsen caught my eye recently. It said that 92% of consumers trust ‘earned media’ the most. There's some interesting data in the report, especially the connection between relevance and trust, but I find the ‘earned media’ description misleading. Earned media used to mean editorial in ‘the media’ (i.e. defined mainstream press/TV/radio/online) until Forrester redefined it to include word-of-mouth, friends’ recommendations, etc. (i.e. any kind of third party comment), as...

The Four Ps of Social Media Marketing

Classically-trained marketers will be familiar with the 4 Ps of marketing, one of the best known marketing mix models, first expressed in 1960 by E J McCarthy. Best summed up as putting the right product in the right place, at the right price, at the right time, they are:

  • Product (or service)
  • Place
  • Price
  • Promotion
For decades, the 4 Ps model has helped marketers define their marketing options in terms of product, place, price and promotion, when planning new ventures...

PRINT™ links brand value to social media performance

Today, we’re launching a solution to some of the more common questions marketers and social media strategists are asking of their organisations’ social media performance:

  • Does our brand’s social footprint add value?
  • Can this be defined and measured in a meaningful way?
  • How can we use this information to make improvements?
We, like many of our clients, have been frustrated by the lack of a practical set of metrics, or even a common measurement framework. The tools we...
