This document discusses how to measure the value of brands' LinkedIn activities using earned media value (EMV). It explains that EMV calculates the financial value of social media interactions to allow comparison of organic and paid content performance. The document provides examples of LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube analytics dashboards that display metrics like new followers, engagements, impressions and top performing content broken down by organic and paid values in EMV. It also outlines Performly's social media monitoring service that calculates these EMV metrics.

12. Ad Formats on LinkedIn
Sponsored updates Text ads

13. #4: Likes, clicks,
shares; Who cares?
“I’ve got Likes,
clicks and Shares
but no idea what
they’re worth.”

14. “We don’t internally have the
confident data we need to
convince leaders or peers
that they should invest in
some of this new technology
or positions
or skills that will be
crucial to a growth plan”
Adrian Parker,
Patron Spirits Company
“I also have no
clue about what’s
working and
what’s not.”

15. “What would
I have had to
pay to achieve
the same
result?”
EMV works across channels,
and is easily calculated and
automated to allow daily
measurement.
