Lanham, MD.

According to Elizabeth Clark, manager of public relations at Womble Carlyle, the firm has used other PR tools in the past, but none offered the measurement capabilities needed to analyze and report on its PR efforts. The PR team needed a way to create charts and graphs that demonstrate the success of her department’s campaigns and activities, as well as show the value of PR investments.
“It has become essential for PR professionals to prove the value of their programs to their internal audiences,” said Clark. “Vocus will allow us to easily create electronic clip reports, better manage our ongoing and long-term PR campaigns and produce easy-to-read charts and graphs that highlight our news coverage and activities. We haven’t found another product that has capabilities even close to those of Vocus.”
