Personal impact

The reports I will show today do not show the impact a single person can have.Use the general formulas below to see how much impact YOU had during the final four: 9 of 16 of my posts were about NCAAs, they reached 73,012 and 764,440 impressions

FacebookCount the number of posts you put up about the Final Four from March to April 4.• (number of posts) x (# of friends) x (.16) = number who saw posts• (number of Final Four photos) x (# of friends) x (.17) = number who saw pix• (number of shares) x (# of fans your friend has) x (.16) = 2nd gen. # who saw post• (((# of your Likes) x (130)) + (# of your Likes)) * (0.06) = Reach per week

you can divide this by day or post• (Reach) x (10.4) = Impressions

Public impact (includes Twitter, FB, Blogs, newsgroups, etc.)Public vs. Private reportingThe previous pages contained very specific, private, identifiable information (Titanic). The next few pages contain more general, keyword-based information and data because it is based on publically accessible information (Iceburgs), not pages or posts.

Keep in mind. The previous slides and next slides DO NOT account for private posts, shares, comments and other engagement that are not public and not connected to you. There is another potentially huge audience that we are unable to track (Godzilla).

Example: John Doe is not my friend or friend of my friends, did not see our ad, does not

like either me or UofL (or anyone affiliated with us) but still posted about UofL and had

strong engagement about the post.

Converting impressions to income

The data here is based on Cision report valuations. The estimates are based on evaluating online, news and TV media (heavily online); the audience size and price per impression.

The most expensive by far (over 4X Reuters) was WHAS Local TV, which was not included in these numbers.
