Organizations are everywhere online: They’re posting to their Facebook page, updating their website regularly and pushing content on Twitter. Tending to this expanding array of digital channels requires a steady effort. While it’s easy to see what organizations are doing, the effectiveness is harder to determine. This was a discussion about how organizations measure whether their digital outreach is working. Having a clearly defined strategy about online properties can help an organization do more of what works and less of what doesn’t. Linda Abraham, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President of Global Business Development, at comScore offered insight into how organizations can assess and best manage their online efforts.
