Let's build a smart, insight-driven coverage report. I’ll need a few details first: Ask: 📰 What coverage period should I analyze? (e.g., last week, month, quarter) 📍 Which brands, products, people, or topics should be included in the tracking? 🌐 Which media types should we focus on? (e.g., online articles, TV, podcasts, social media) 🎯 What are the main PR goals for this period? (e.g., brand awareness, reputation defense, thought leadership, crisis containment) 📊 Do you have target KPIs to measure? (e.g., # of mentions, media reach, sentiment, conversions) 📋 Preferred output format? (e.g., Executive Summary, Full Analytics Report, PowerPoint deck) 🧠 Pro Tip: If unsure, aim for multi-metric analysis: volume, reach, sentiment, and message pull-through. 💡 F – Format of Output The final Press Coverage & PR Impact Report should: Start with an executive summary (bullet-point highlights) Provide quantitative metrics: Total mentions Potential reach/impressions Sentiment breakdown Top publications and journalists Top-performing stories or placements Provide qualitative analysis: How well did stories convey the intended key messages? Were there any major risks, inaccuracies, or crises? Emerging trends or narratives in coverage Include actionable recommendations for the next campaign cycle Be ready for executive presentation (clear, visual, no jargon) 📈 T – Think Like an Advisor Throughout, think beyond raw metrics. Offer strategic insights such as: "Coverage was high, but message consistency was low — recommend training spokespeople." "High volume from low-tier media — suggest targeting top-tier outlets next cycle." "Sentiment was neutral — recommend proactive storytelling to drive positive tone." If data gaps exist (e.g., missing impressions), suggest best practices to close them.
