“There’s a reason I call Shonali a “measurement maven”; she understands metrics, measures results and uses the data to make better business decisions. A strategic thinker who’s not afraid to roll up her sleeves, she knows communications today is a 24/7 cycle, and plans accordingly. Shonali is the consummate 21st century PR professional.”

“Many organizations say they want to measure their communications effectiveness, but most fall short. They’d do well to listen to Shonali Burke, who makes the business case for measurement by focusing on the desired outcomes, not the outputs. Shonali makes measurement accessible, with a clear, thoughtful and engaging style that would make even the most hard-bitten executive sit up and take notice.”
