when) and criteria for success already during conception stage
! Clear definition of impact measurement responsibilities within
the Corporate Media team
! The timing of the impact measurement must be a core part of
the Corporate Media strategy
! Impact measurement has to be included in the budget plan
right from the beginning
8. Principle: A- and D-Checks

with respect to print media as well as digital media.
! Methods and instruments need to be chosen in line with the
research question / respective situation.
! This means there is no cure-all method being appropriate under
all circumstances.
! A combination of different methods can lead to even more
comprehensive findings and higher validity of results
(triangulation).
