Ex Libris, together with AMEC, has developed a Russian-language version of the manual for the use of the Integrated Evaluation Framework. In addition to the introductory materials, the document contains a number of articles and additional resources on the actual use of the framework, including taxonomy, which lists and explains all the stages of the communication planning procedure with key steps, indicators, milestones, and techniques.
AMEC’s Integrated Evaluation Framework is an integrated system of strategic planning and analysis of PR campaigns.
The framework is essentially a universal template, which offers a PR practitioner (or the agency’s Customer, together with a practitioner) to stage out a strategic plan for a future PR campaign step-by-step or to analyze in detail the one already carried out. When filling out the template, a specialist will be able to see at what stage the PR campaign was not sufficiently thought out, where incorrect metrics were used, or crucial indicators were not taken into account.
