The purpose of Public Relations is to manage the flow of information between an organization and its target public and of course, to build and keep good relationships between those who influence an organization’s audience and the audience itself. Moreover, it aims at persuading the public, the investors, the partners, the employees and other stakeholders to support the company’s policy. Among the activities which make up the core of public relations, speaking at conferences, working with press and employee communication are just a small part.
The “Top 25 Public Relations KPIs of 2011-2012” report compiles the most popular 25 KPIs used by the PR function.

PR KPIs are reflective of PR functions and are grouped into subcategories, such as Media Exposure, Public Feedback, Media Coverage, Company Image and Industry Feedback. From these subcategories, Media Exposure, Public Feedback and Media Coverage were the most popular in 2011.
The top 5 PR KPIs of 2011-2012 in this report are:
