PR measurement training:
Proving value in the AI era
Stop guessing. Start proving. Defend & grow your PR budget.
A hands-on workshop combining modern PR measurement frameworks with AI search visibility metrics.
Led by Steph Bridgeman & Rik Turner - two specialists with 40+ years of combined experience.
The Problem
PR teams create enormous value. But when budget decisions land, you're often scrambling to prove it.
Senior stakeholders want business outcomes, not coverage volumes
AVE is dead, but what replaces it?
AI search is changing how brands are discovered, and most measurement frameworks haven't caught up
Your competitors are winning budget battles with better reporting narratives
This workshop gives you the framework, metrics and storytelling skills to prove PR's value in the AI era.

-
Agency Teams
who want to protect retainers, improve client reporting, and differentiate their measurement offer from competitors.
-
Marketing Leads
who want a financial value metric for PR to directly compare efficiency with other channels and show how PR impacts business outcomes, not just vanity metrics.
