Context you provide

- {{current_activities}}: What media relations activities we currently do (e.g., press releases, pitches, events).
- {{stakeholder_needs}}: Who the reports are for and what they care about (e.g., senior management, clients).
- {{data_sources}}: Where we can pull data from (e.g., media monitoring tools, web analytics).
Instructions

- Develop a set of KPIs aligned with our PR objectives, such as media mentions, sentiment, share of voice, and message pull-through.
- Design a reporting template that includes these KPIs, with sections for data visualization and commentary.
- Outline a process for regular data collection, analysis, and reporting, including frequency and responsibilities.
- Suggest best practices for presenting findings to senior management, focusing on insights and actionable recommendations.
Output format Provide a detailed framework with KPI definitions, a report template structure, and a step-by-step measurement process. Use tables and bullet points. Keep the tone analytical and professional.
Guardrails

- Flag any assumptions about available tools or resources.
- Stay in scope: focus on measurement and reporting, not campaign strategy.
