FAQ

You ask questions, we answer.

What is PRIMe?

PRIMe is Mediaboard’s media impact metric. It helps teams measure PR and communication performance beyond simple media volume by looking at the quality and value of coverage.

How is PRIMe different from AVE?

AVE provides a generic estimate of the advertising value of media coverage. PRIMe is built around your brand, objectives, and communication priorities. Each PRIMe model is configured to your specific needs, taking into account the factors that matter most to your organization—from key messages and sentiment to source relevance and audience impact. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all formula, PRIMe delivers a tailored measurement that reflects the true value of coverage from your perspective.

What does PRIMe measure?

PRIMe measures media impact through key pillars such as relevance, sentiment, reach and content quality. It helps teams understand whether coverage is meaningful, positive, visible and valuable.

Can PRIMe help with leadership reporting?

Yes. PRIMe turns complex media performance into a clearer metric that leadership can understand. It helps show whether communication is building visibility, trust and reputation value.
