1 Define your objectives and metrics

Before you launch any IMC campaign, you need to define your objectives and metrics. What are you trying to achieve with your IMC activities? How will you measure your success? For example, you might want to increase brand awareness, generate leads, boost sales, or improve customer loyalty. Depending on your objectives, you might use different metrics, such as reach, impressions, click-through rate, conversion rate, retention rate, or return on investment (ROI).

When you set out it's useful to look back at what's come before, or from your competitors in the market to get an idea of appropriate campaign objectives, metrics and benchmarks. Examples can come from your own team, your agencies, channel partners and publishers. Resources like WARC https://www.dhirubhai.net/company/warc/ or the Effies https://www.dhirubhai.net/company/effie-worldwide-inc/ have a repository of case studies of effective campaigns that illustrate how objectives are set, key metrics selected and IMC campaigns are structured.

2 Choose your methods and tools

Once you have your objectives and metrics, you need to choose your methods and tools for testing and evaluating your IMC activities. There are different methods and tools available, depending on your budget, time, and resources. For example, you might use surveys, interviews, focus groups, or online reviews to collect feedback from your customers. You might use analytics, tracking, or reporting software to monitor your online performance. You might use split testing, control groups, or experiments to compare different versions of your IMC activities.

The best methods and metrics to track effectiveness and optimise the performance of campaign aren't always the metrics all your stakeholders understand, care about or trust. Internal challenges and process derail or dilute many campaigns before they even go live. Take the time up front to be sure you've got consensus, and be sure you have the capabilities in place to measure impact.

3 Collect and analyze your data

After you have your methods and tools, you need to collect and analyze your data. You need to gather enough data to make valid and reliable conclusions about your IMC activities. You also need to analyze your data to identify patterns, trends, insights, and gaps. For example, you might use descriptive statistics, charts, or graphs to summarize your data. You might use inferential statistics, tests, or models to draw inferences and hypotheses from your data.

Something I've found helpful for communicating data with leadership is learning "data visualization." There are some good LinkedIn Learning courses on data visualization that helped me gain buy-in with clients.

4 Evaluate your results and ROI

Based on your data analysis, you need to evaluate your results and ROI. You need to compare your actual performance with your expected performance and objectives. You also need to calculate your ROI, which is the ratio of your profit to your cost. For example, you might use benchmarks, standards, or best practices to evaluate your results. You might use formulas, ratios, or indicators to calculate your ROI.

5 Communicate and report your findings

After you have your results and ROI, you need to communicate and report your findings. You need to present your findings to your stakeholders, such as your management, team, or clients. You also need to report your findings in a clear, concise, and convincing way. For example, you might use dashboards, slides, or reports to communicate your findings. You might use stories, visuals, or recommendations to report your findings.

6 Adjust and improve your IMC activities

Finally, based on your findings, you need to adjust and improve your IMC activities. You need to identify what worked well and what didn't work well in your IMC campaign. You also need to implement changes and improvements to optimize your IMC performance. For example, you might use feedback, suggestions, or lessons learned to adjust your IMC activities. You might use tests, trials, or pilots to improve your IMC activities.
