Media monitoring is an important tool for both marketers and PR specialists, but they can use it from different perspectives.
How exactly do our clients at Semantrum use the system? Here are 5 key differences in the way these two professionals use the media monitoring system.
For a marketer:
1. Focus on audience analysis: Marketers use media monitoring to study the reaction of the target audience to their products or services. They analyse reviews, comments, and ratings to understand what aspects of a product or advertising campaign are working and what needs to be improved.
2. Control over competitors: Marketers use media monitoring to keep track of competitors' activities, study their strategies and audience responses. This helps to create a competitive advantage.
3. Tracking trends: Marketers analyse media monitoring to identify current trends in their industry and adjust marketing strategies accordingly.
4. Brand development: They use the results of media monitoring to determine how their brand is perceived by the public and to improve communication strategies.
5. Determining ROI: Marketers determine the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns through media monitoring analysis and measure the ROI (return on investment) for each campaign.
For a PR specialist:
1. Reputation strategy: PR specialists use media monitoring to study the reputation of a company or client in the media and social networks and develop strategies to improve it.
2. Crisis management: They monitor negative news and public reactions in real time to respond quickly to potential crises and develop action plans.
3. Interaction with the media: PR specialists use media monitoring to track the client's media appearances and evaluate the effectiveness of media publications.
4. Interaction with influencers: They monitor the activities of influencers who can have an important impact on the brand's reputation and develop strategies for working with them.
5. Measuring PR effectiveness: PR professionals use media monitoring to determine the results of their work, including the number of publications, the amount of coverage and the tone of the coverage.
Whether you are a marketer or a PR specialist, media monitoring helps you achieve your goals and strengthen your market position.
