As week two of AMEC’s Measurement Month gets started, play a quick catch-up on all that happened in week one.

#measurePR had a Measurement Month special, drawing informed opinion leaders. Among the varied conversation, there was a general acceptance that insights mattered.
A7 Measurement isn't charts. Link the data and tell the measurement story #measurePR

AnnSi Krol, over a ByBrick Insights, flagged a great article, which is worth the read.
Good read! It always boils down to asking the right Questions! No matter the amount of data! #comms #measurePR #PR https://t.co/JaMiq5VQUi

Johna Burke gave us a perfect analogy on data vs insight.
It's why #PR stays skinny. Still focused on sizzle and not consuming the STEAK. #AMECMM #MEASUREPR https://t.co/erjnyMpUbS

Part of the problem, of course, is that the sizzle is so easy. At the #PRCAChat, we heard that agencies are still using AVEs, albeit unwillingly.
@PRCAIngham much to my chagrin AVES still get used but over the last few yrs I'm seeing more clients moving away in large part to BPs

Andy West, from Hotwire PR,
Building a measurement culture internally is the starting point. Nurture the right behaviour and progress will be swift #prcachat

What Stuart Bruce says is very true – and this is a good opportunity to remind everyone to register for the Measurement Month webinar from the UK, US and Canadian governments.
@PRCA_UK Much of the best practice in comms measurement and evaluation I've seen in UK comes from government and public sector #prcachat

Smoking Gun PR took a break from the adventures of Wilhelmina to host a measurement event. Steph Bridgeman talked the mechanics of measurement, highlighting a point that those of us in the measurement business know all too well. Explore the event here.
