Giving a Client’s perspective, Sujit Patil, VP & Head of Corporate Brand & Communications, Godrej Group, said,“Strategic utilization of Public Relations as a reputation and brand building tool can happen only if objectives are well set and outcomes are monitored consistently using qualitative and quantitative parameters. Over the past several years, we at Godrej have increased our focus on measuring the impact of our communications and the data churned out month after month by Concep BIU and other partners have helped us improve our PR process and the outcomes significantly. I strongly feel that the cost of“not measuring” is always high.”
