Your Brand’s Online Eco-system & Cross-Channel ROI
Where: Rivington Street
What: Understanding your brand’s online eco-system and how to measure cross-channel ROI
When: Thursday 16th February, 2.00pm - 3.30 pm
RSVP: *This event is sold out – to be placed on the waiting list please email c.robinson@brassagency.com *
Can you measure your social activity like-for-like with other online disciplines? This event is aimed at senior client-side marketers who are responsible for planning & managing multiplatform activity including digital communications. Based on their experience with leading FMCG brands including Ribena, Brass Managing Partner and Strategic Director, Paul Mallett will outline a new approach to projecting and measuring ROI across multiple online channels. Social media, search, and media operate as intrinsically connected nodes of a brand’s online eco-system. Treating online not as separate disciplines, but as a continuum from search to media to content to engagement leads to a more holistic (and realistic) Return on Investment model. Coming from the viewpoint that social media cannot be managed separately, but must be managed as part of a brand’s online eco-system, this session will offer practical advice and tools on aligning online communications activity into one cohesive model, to enable the more smooth management of agencies and communications.
