5、Global Comms Report. Of the 527 global respondents, on average 34% of the overall media budget goes to earned media, just a tick under the 35% given to paid media. Owned media is allotted the remaining 31%. Looking at U.S. respondents only, earned medias prevalence is even more apparent. Notably mor

The solution accounts for factors such as a storys timing and placement. “In the past, wed place a story on M and say we reache
10、d 1.2 million people,” adds Trainor. “Now, we might more accurately say we reached 300,000 consumers.” While the number is lower than media impressions, “when you explain why to the C-suite they go, Hey, this isnt just some made-up crap and every possible impression added up,” he explains. “The C-su
11、ite is very into math and results. So, they are like, Woah, the PR team has traditionally been afraid of numbers, but they are finally talking the language that sales, marketing, finance and everyone else speaks. A lot of respect comes with that.” New platforms are amplifying brand messages. Traditi

As evidenced by the third annual PRWeek/Cision Global Comms Report, these factors combine to bolster earned medias prowess to the C-suite.

Instagram comes of age The 2019 PRWeek/Cision report also ascertains the media channels most important to PR pros and reveals one getting much more attention this year. In the past two surveys, global respondents clearly put Facebook and Twitter on

Still, Knewitz notes that “mainstream reporters have increasingly become opinion leaders and still set the agenda for a lot of public and social discourse. Social media reacts to their coverage. That dialogue of
