Measuring Success - It's More Than Metrics

You understood the client’s needs. You put in the time, the hard work and of course, delivered within budget. The campaign was a success. But just how successful?

It’s not the isolated, standalone activations that maintain the buzz of a campaign. It’s the regular, consistent communications, like pulse surveys and cascade events, that help to grow it.

To successfully engage with the workforce the campaign must have trust, authenticity and most of all be given time. Over time all relationships grow and then actions start to speak louder than words and spreadsheets.

If you are planning any large internal comms campaigns this year, ask yourself this:
