Wizikey Standardizes PR Measurement with ‘News Score’

Measuring news visibility and PR measurement has been a puzzle for PR and communications professionals. In a path-breaking move, Wizikey announced the launch of the world’s first standard metric, NewsScore. It helps measure news visibility for brands & individuals. Thus, this is a standard metric score that will benefit businesses to measure PR efficiency. Further, bringing the much-needed measurement to a single metric. This score will be available for countries including – India, Australia, and Singapore. 

How did we arrive at this

Today industries are tracking health score to page score, and news score is the much-needed addition. In fact, new-age PR professionals needed a metric to analyze and measure their brand and PR with ease.

After speaking to industry experts, team Wizikey figured out there is a need for a global metric. Therefore, a currency to measure their PR efforts. Traditionally, we are broadly measured by the impressions that we receive.  But the industry needed a universal metric that everybody can understand and talk about. Fortunately, Wizikey’s expertise was in a position to coin this for the industry. Now, Wizikey intends to make it easier by having one metric which would appeal from a CEO to CFO to anybody.

News Score

Key Highlights

No more borrowing of metrics: Marketers are relying on borrowed metrics from other sectors to measure their campaigns and communication efforts which takes a lot of time. And, News Score solves this problem. 

Long Hours on excel: Measuring media impressions and share of voice are long-drawn-out activities that take hours every month. Hence, this new metric will kill unproductive time. 

Bringing clarity: There are storytellers who need not be great communicators. Therefore, we need a metric that can be easily understood by anybody and counted as the PR strength.

Leadership understanding: Leadership never had clarity on what to track in PR and communications. Marketers needed that one metric that they can report to the leadership. 

Easy tracking: News Score is the one metric that lets brands track the quantity and quality of news in one go.
