¿Cómo medimos el éxito de las campañas?

A través de un sistema de análisis cuantitativo de los principales indicadores del proyecto, como son el número de impactos, la audiencia total alcanzada o el porcentaje de target prioritario impactado, entre muchos otros. Además, podemos profundizar en las métricas por medio de los siguientes análisis: - Medición cualitativa de las menciones, los artículos publicados y el perfil de los lectores. - Análisis del tono de los mensajes, las palabras clave y las frases conceptuales principales, para entender mejor el impacto de la comunicación. - Análisis de la competencia para mejorar la influencia de nuestro mensaje.

¿Cómo diseñamos una campaña de Relaciones Públicas?

Cada proyecto cuenta con un equipo experto en consultoría de relaciones públicas que entiende a la perfección los requerimientos del mismo, manteniendo una constante comunicación con el cliente para estar al tanto de cada detalle. Gracias al acceso permanente a un panel de datos online podrá atender y analizar la actividad de la campaña. Asimismo, cada seis meses te presentamos un informe detallado donde puedes comprobar el rendimiento general de las acciones llevadas a cabo, con la posibilidad de ajustarlas si la estrategia lo requiere.

¿Qué hace que una campaña internacional sea exitosa?

Son varios los factores que influyen, pero uno de los principales, sin duda, se fundamenta en nuestra capacidad de elaborar estrategias de mensajes a nivel global, para luego adaptarlos a la realidad y situación de cada país y, de este modo, hacerlos más relevantes y eficaces.

Expandimos los mensajes principales de la estrategia a un contexto más amplio, recurriendo a formatos complementarios como las noticias locales o los eventos temáticos, entre otros. De este modo, maximizamos el impacto de tu campaña de relaciones públicas.

Results

An exceptionally successful day with widely positive coverage of the listing as well as broader messaging on the increasing importance of the European technology ecosystem.

  • 20 interviews for C-Level executives
  • 135 profile pieces

Cloudflare

Objective

Cloudflare engaged Ballou to publicize its establishment in France and the hiring of a local team. Subsequently, the agency was tasked with raising awareness of the company's expertise by positioning the French Managing Director on issues relating to internet security and performance, while continuing to communicate around the launch of each new offer.

Campaign
  • 300 articles
  • 30 interviews
  • 5 TV and radio broadcasts
Outcome

Over the past 3 years, Ballou has been working daily with Cloudflare to enhance its visibility in France. Thanks to a campaign based on expertise, we consistently secure interviews and appearances in specialized media (Le Mag IT, Silicon, IT For Business, etc.) as well as high-audience economic and general media outlets (Le Figaro, Journal du Net, Europe 1, BFM TV, etc.). The data (barometers, surveys, rankings, etc.) shared by Cloudflare ensures our regular mentions.
