The Earned Effect Study

 

At Weber Shandwick, we believe this is the ‘Era of Earned’: to earn value – attention, loyalty, reputation, business – brands and organisations must contribute meaningful value. The findings of our global Earned Effect Study, in partnership with the IPA, corroborates this belief.

 

Our research reveals campaigns that generate coverage and conversation over the long term are more successful in driving significant business impact and more likely to achieve very large profit growth. Below you will find a downloadable three-page overview of the study, plus key findings.

 

Our industry-first, Earned Impact Value solution, uses proprietary AI models to measure the business impact of earned media and creative effectiveness over the short, medium and long term. Find out more here.
