IABC Chicago: “A Good Ending to the Story: The Importance of Measurement”
2025-04-23 12:30 - 13:30
Join IABC Chicago for “A Good Ending to the Story: The Importance of Measurement” on Wednesday, April 23, at 11:30 a.m. CT / 12:30 p.m. ET.
Effective communication isn’t about completing the brochure, video or website – it’s about what the communication needs to accomplish and how successful it is at doing just that.
By measuring the outcomes of your communication against goals and objectives that tie to organizational goals, you demonstrate the ROI (return on investment) on your communication efforts. In doing so, you can prove the value communication has on the business – to your manager, management, your customer, or client.
Gabrielle (Gabi) Loring, a managing consultant with Gallagher, will discuss:
☑️ Identifying the business need or opportunity
☑️ Setting meaningful, measurable goals and objectives – how does what you’re doing move the needle for the organization?
☑️ Measuring your communication efforts
☑️ She’ll demonstrate these principles through award-winning case studies and give participants an opportunity to apply what they learned to their own work
The webinar is free IABC Chicago members and $10 for non-members.

In a follow up to their foundational “Non-Performative and Authentic JEDI Communications” session back in 2023, AndHumanity is returning with a more nuanced and tactical session amidst these uncertain times. For many in BC, it’s truly hard to believe we’re living in such a politically charged climate where JEDI is challenged in almost every aspect. As the communications industry tries to sort its way through the pandemonium, AndHumanity has found that the most recurring question being asked of them from other communicators at this time is, “Well, what now? What does this all mean for us?”
In this session, AndHumanity will share their popular strategic framework on how to communicate effectively in these chaotic times by aligning brand and messaging with audience mindset. Additionally, they will also share what other brands are doing right now — whether it be halting JEDI comms work, continuing it, reframing it, and everything in between.
