Jami Oetting says, “There’s nothing more valuable to a client than seeing his or her company’s name appear in an article, news report, or blog post. This third-party credibility and the ability to gain the attention of decision-makers is key to building a brand.

But the public relations industry is changing: Some blogs and influencers are becoming more important than traditional outlets, journalists and editors are increasingly turning to Twitter, comments boards, and other sites for sources, and newsrooms are shrinking, leaving editorial voices outnumbered 5:1.

In addition, a renewed focused on earned media, content marketing, and native advertising is being driven by the industry’s concern over ad blocking.

If you’re looking to double-down on earned media efforts, you might need a few tools to manage, track, and monitor your clients’ and even your own firm’s PR efforts. Without being able to connect the dots between a media mention and an influx of leads or inquiries, your agency is leaving value on the table“.
