P+ Measurement Services Clocks Five

By Modupe Gbadeyanka

Five years ago, an independent public relations measurement and evaluation agency named P+ Measurement Services, was birthed.

At inception, the company was the first in that sector in Nigeria and some observers thought the firm may not survive because it was thought that the traditional PR organisations will likely frustrate its growth.

But five years after, P+ Measurement is standing tall, breaking new grounds because of its huge impact in the country and its qualitative offerings that surpass clients’ expectation.

The leading agency with expertise in Media Monitoring, PR Measurement and Audit, CEO Media Performance and Advisory, has offered services to over 45 brands and 15 Public Relations agencies in its five years of operation in the country.

As the only AMEC Member in Nigeria, P+ Measurement has strong partnerships with the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) and Reelforge Media Monitoring; the biggest media monitoring agency in the East African region covering more than five countries.

Speaking on its business portfolio, the Chief Insights Officer, Mr Philip Odiakose, said every client media data has a story to tell and it depends on how strategic you are in flogging the data to yield meaningful results.

He avowed that P+ services with state-of-the-art technology and highly skilled media analysts has greatly enhanced clients’ businesses to immeasurable heights, exceeding their expectations, thus making P+ unique in the industry it operates.

“Our measurement and evaluation report is in-depth, robust and flexible to accommodate valid metrics that brands desire to see reflected in their reports, and it is also based on the AMEC Standard in accordance with the Barcelona Principle 3.0.

“We deploy the P+MCA (media content analysis) methodology for media evaluation and analysis based on qualitative and quantitative metrics in analysing media exposure,” Mr Odiakose affirmed.

On the agency’s portfolio, the Chief Operating Officer, Ms Olufunke Mohammed, points out that P+ understands the value of valid PR metrics to its clients’ media performance audit report.

Since inception, the agency has been able to provide media monitoring, measurement, evaluation and performance audit services for brands, agencies and government bodies that operate in various industries and organisations ranging from banking, telecom, insurance, airlines, tourism, government, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), pensions, Health Management Organisations (HMOs), tobacco and lifestyle.

Attesting to P+ capabilities and unique offerings, the Regional Executive Head, Marketing and Corporate Communication, Standard Bank Group, Ms Nkiru Olumide-Ojo, said they are strategic in their input, futuristic in their outlook, and that the agency is an amazing partner on managing upheavals in the media management value chain. “I would recommend them easily,” she said.

Also, the Principal Lead/Chief Executive Officer, BudgIT Foundation, Mr Gabriel Okeowo, put forward that P+ has been of great support to the Foundation, as it serves as a media crawler and auditor for its PR activities.

He further stated that P+ is relevant for impact tracking and more importantly for quickly identifying negative vibes around the work of BudgIT, thus giving the foundation the opportunity of responding swiftly to issues. He, therefore, recommends the agency to other organisations for optimum efficiency.

Among a few trusted names associated with high-end corporate gifting, BrandCare Solutions of UAE occupies the front position. Corporate gifts UAE have been turning into an integral part of business strategy and, therefore, play an especially significant role in brand loyalty.

The Rise of Corporate Gifts in UAE

In this respect, the UAE has grown very fast and is considered one of the most dynamic and successful business hubs in the world. With the region really flowering in terms of innovation and financial growth, companies are ever increasingly leveraging corporate gifting to connect with their clients and employees. Growing trends in corporate gifts are in creating meaning beyond transactional relationships, not necessarily giving material things.

Businesses all over the UAE are using corporate gifting for everything from custom-designed luxury items to branded merchandise as a surefire way to make lasting impressions with clients, partners, and employees alike. This trend for corporate gifts also reflects a cultural emphasis on hospitality and generosity, hence serving as an effective differentiator for UAE businesses in an ever-growing marketplace.

How Corporate Gifts Build Brand Loyalty

The ultimate goal of any business is brand loyalty, and corporate gifts can contribute majorly toward this very goal. Here’s how:

Building Emotional Connections

Corporate gifting is personal and attached, especially if it’s something with the recipient’s name or company’s logo on it. A meaningful gift-a pen, a high-quality notebook, or an eco-friendly product speaks volumes to the recipient that one holds their relationship dear. This will definitely play a major role in bringing up the graph of trust-loyalty, helping recipients feel appreciated and valued.

Consistent Brand Visibility

The strongest rationale for corporate gifting is that they permit one’s brand to be constantly in the view of others. With each usage or sight of the gift comes a reminder of that particular company; thus, consistent exposure reinforces memory of a certain brand and will help cement this business into your memory. With BrandCare Solutions, you have a range of products to choose from-be it Branded Mugs to customized electronic products that the recipients use every day.

Positive Brand Perception

A well-thought-of corporate gift can heighten the perception of your brand-especially if the quality of it is unique and relevant to the lifestyle or interest of the recipient.

A nicely crafted leather wallet or even the latest electronic gadget could be one of the best corporate gifts and build credibility for your brand, whereby you have shown that indeed you would go the extra mile to ensure your clients and staff are happy. Such a good quality gift is just priceless, engendering goodwill and positive imagery toward one’s company.

Building Customer Relationships

Corporate gifting may be a good opportunity to build up relations with clients. A timely gift-including those given on holidays, as part of birthday surprises, or to say “thank you” for the success of an enterprise-will keep you in front of the clients’ eyes by reminding them how much value you will bring into their business. Regular gifting shows your direction: toward long-term relationships, which directly leads to better customer retention and brand loyalty.

Appreciation and Motivation of Employees

Corporate gifting does not necessarily involve only clients or business associates. It may even relate to one’s employees. Recognizing efforts and achievements, with well-thought-out presents from your staff, will improve morale and give them a sense of belonging to your company. Employees who are valued are more likely to be committed and loyal to the organization. Stronger internal culture and a way to build up a motivated, productive workforce.
