How does PR affect CAC and LTV?
PR does not directly calculate unit economics, but it significantly affects its key metrics – CAC and LTV. By building trust and a positive reputation, communications reduce the cost of customer acquisition: the audience arrives “prepared,” conversion rates increase, and advertising costs decrease. At the same time, PR works on retention: it strengthens loyalty, increases purchase frequency, and extends the customer lifecycle, which increases LTV. As a result, the brand gets a healthier economy without changing the product or pricing.
What is media monitoring?
Media monitoring is the regular collection and analysis of mentions of a company, brand, product, or speakers in news, industry publications, and other media. It helps to understand not only how many times the company has been written about, but also in what context, with what tone, reach, and visibility. The main value of monitoring lies in the conclusions and decisions it provides: which topics to develop, which messages to refine, which platforms to strengthen, and where reputational risks may exist.

How are sales and PR related?

Marketing and PR – what is it and what is the difference?
Marketing and PR are related, but different areas. Marketing works on demand and sales, while PR works on trust, reputation, and the brand's relationship with the audience.

At the same time, complex work brings the greatest effect when PR creates a strong brand, marketing generates demand, and advertising gives the final push to purchase.

And remember: native integrations, collaborative activities, and honest reviews work better in influencer.
