Breaking Silos: Earned Media Providing Impact for Marketing
Sharlene Dozois
Senior VP, Sales & Client Experience CISION PR departments have long been the square peg in the round hole when it comes to how Marketing departments report on their performance. With a reliance on vanity metrics and a difficulty proving attribution, PR is often speaking an entirely different language than their Marketing colleagues. This session will feature a presentation by Sharlene Dozois, SVP, Sales & Client Experience of Cision Canada. Dozois will discuss how recent technological developments can be used to not only bridge the language and reporting gap between the two disciplines but also provide new opportunities for Marketing departments to leverage the heretofore inaccessible (and incorrectly attributed) leads generated by PR activities. This session will also touch on how Marketing can help focus PR activities on shared business objectives and how an even more integrated PESO model can benefit the overall success of campaigns.
