Highlight the success of your media, PR and communications activities

Checking campaign strategy

Communication and marketing campaigns are subject to long, careful planning processes. Implementing a campaign involves huge amounts of creativity and hard work. But in order for it to achieve its objective, it is recommended that ideas on formats are data-driven and decisions are made based on facts and reports.

Data-driven decisions for successfully planned communication strategies

What content appeals to your target group? How can you generate the greatest engagement? Which topics are currently popular in the media and which are disappearing in the mass of communication? What hashtags could I use for a social media campaign? Can my slogan be used internationally? Are topics and hashtags used differently in other markets?

These are just some of the questions that creative types need to ask when planning a campaign in order to ensure the planned activities are as successful as possible. The answers are not always easy to find. Data-based evaluations provide the basis for decisions and the insights help ensure the success of a campaign.

Five important requirements for a hashtag

 

  1. The hashtag should be relevant to the topic.
  2. The hashtag should be relevant to the target group and should be used.
  3. The hashtag should be memorable and not too long.
  4. The hashtag should have no meaning in other languages, or have a meaning which suits the planned usage.
  5. For campaigns, you should find at least one hashtag that is not yet in use in order to establish a recognisable niche.

  • Which hashtags are suitable for my campaign?
  • Which topics are currently getting lots of media attention?
  • Which topics are currently getting the attention of my target group?
  • Welche Themen erleben gerade mediale Aufmerksamkeit?
