#PRStudChat Discusses How to Get Started with Digital Marketing Analytics
We’re headed into May and graduation season. Seniors are actively job hunting and ready to apply years of education when they enter into the workplace. For many organizations, at the top of the skills list, is managing digital media and analytics. More companies are active online and through social media. They seek out marketing and PR professionals who have a good grasp of digital analytics and how to track and measure campaign results and prove business value.
On Thursday, April 26th at 12:00 p.m. ET, the #PRStudChat community will gather for an in-depth Twitter discussion on digital marketing analytics from importance and priorities to impactful experiences. Joining us as our special guest and co-host will be Chuck Hemann, Managing Director and Head of Digital Analytics at W2O Group. Chuck literally wrote the book on Digital Marketing Analytics, along with his co-author, Ken Burbary back in April of 2013. Now, you can check out the 2nd edition of their book here.
Chuck and our community will discuss several digital analytics topics and answer the following questions on the 26th. We encourage all community members to share their perspectives and ideas.

Q2. What is the first thing a PR student or professional should do to learn digital marketing analytics?

About #PRStudChat
It began with a simple question asked by Angela Hernandez, then President of PRSSA at Central Michigan University (CMU). “Is PR Right for me?” A follow-up blog post by Communication Strategist Deirdre Breakenridge inspired a series of direct messages on Twitter between Breakenridge and fellow PR industry pro, Valerie Simon. This was an important question and one that should be explored beyond one student or one blog post. Why not build a community to help students across the country, and even the globe, learn from the experience and perspective of industry professionals … A community where everyone can learn and grow together.
