Senior Public Relations Coordinator/Multimediologist
Ben & Jerry's
"Ben & Jerry's uses our monthly CARMA Media Analysis reports to measure Public Relations effectiveness, our share of voice among competitors and the favorability ranking of our media relations efforts. Our CARMA reports provide a comprehensive analysis of our efforts to promote Ben & Jerry's three-part mission, through the billion-plus media impressions that the company generates annually, in a cost-effective manner. CARMA is a must-have element of our PR toolkit for analysis of our unique marketing style and for the critical measurement of business results. CARMA's staff are an absolute delight to work with, and have become an essential component of the Ben & Jerry's PR team."
Vice President, Corporate Communications
3Com Corporation
"One of the biggest challenges I've had in my 20+ year career in communications has not only been finding metrics that accurately measure the effectiveness of PR, but qualitative analysis that can be understood and accepted by senior management teams. I used CARMA in the Asia Pacific region for a number of years in the 90s and found it to be a most rewarding experience. Not only did the service give me solid information about how our efforts were paying out, or not, in the marketplace, but it gave my department a tool with which to fine-tune its messaging and targeting, at the same time as gauging what the competition was up to. That turned out to be the major payout. When I came to 3Com three years ago, one of the major items on my list was to work with CARMA again, but on a broader global basis. When they teamed up with
Biz360, the benefits of the combination of CARMA's human analysis, technical expertise and metrics tracking, and Biz360's reach and online automation overpowered everything else in the market."
Managing Director, Asia Pacific
Brodeur Worldwide
"I'm a huge fan of CARMA. I don't go to a pitch without recommending CARMA in our arsenal of measurement tools. CARMA gives clients a feeling of control over their PR programs, and
gives agencies confidence that the measurement will be done right. Prospects love it, and become clients."
Media Watch Columnist
Advisor Today
"Media Watch discovered the mother of all big pictures when it comes to media
coverage, and it presents a picture that is anything but haphazard and is more
than scientific. This Mecca of media coverage is called CARMA International, a
media analysis company that examines how 70 of the most influential print
publications cover more than 700 of the world's largest companies in 28 business
sectors..."
Senior Managing of Corporate Communications
Kyocera Wireless
"Kyocera Wireless has used CARMA's services for several years now to provide
detailed and insightful third-party measurement of the media's coverage of
our various wireless phones, their features and our corporate coverage.
CARMA helps us not only keep track of how much coverage we're receiving, but
also how favorably we are portrayed in the media. CARMA's media content
analysis services allow us to track our success on specific product launches
and also serve as valuable feedback for strategic purposes in our future
product launches."
Director of Corporate Communications
Sprint Corporation
"CARMA has been an invaluable tool for Sprint's corporate communications department. We have used CARMA for four years as a key resource in determining the success of Sprint's communications efforts. CARMA's comprehensive and accurate data allows us to track Sprint's media image and develop future strategies. In fact, we have found CARMA so beneficial that we recently expanded our contract to include additional Sprint divisions."
Communications and PR Vice President
National Cattlemen's Beef Association
"The National Cattlemen's Beef Association has been using CARMA media
analysis since October 1990 for a variety of public relations functions; from
doing media/reporter analysis prior to specific tours and events, to conducting
in-depth research on specific industry issues. We have felt the professionals
at CARMA were true 'partners' in our public relations and issue management
programs."
Director, Corporate Communications
Indian School of Business
"CARMA is probably the only agency in India which can give a thoroughly
professional and complete analysis of the media results garnered by the communication
department. No detail is too small for them, every nuance is captured and
careful insights are drawn from them. The analysis is an eye opener and a
validation at the same time of the efficacy of the communication strategy.
It is a pleasure to work with CARMA, I look forward to working with the team
year after year."
