The Communication Challenge

Alensa is an online retailer of contact lenses, glasses and eye care products operating in more than 30 European markets.

With many markets, languages and local partners involved, international communication became complex to manage, compare and measure.

Alensa needed one central view of media coverage, a reliable way to audit agency work and a better metric for understanding the real impact of PR.

  • Monitoring media coverage across foreign markets
  • Comparing local PR and agency performance
  • Mapping media landscapes before retail expansion
  • Measuring PR impact beyond traditional GRP reporting

Three Ways Mediaboard Helps Alensa

International media monitoring

Alensa gets a centralized view of media coverage across selected foreign markets, making it easier to compare performance and understand what is happening in each country.

Agency performance audit

Objective media data helps Alensa evaluate the activity, quality and KPIs of local PR and media agencies across different markets.

Market expansion insight

Before entering new retail markets, Alensa can map the local media landscape, analyze competitors and identify relevant journalists and media outlets.

What Is PRIMe?

PRIMe is Mediaboard’s media impact metric. It helps PR and marketing teams measure the real value of media coverage beyond volume or traditional GRP reporting.

PRIMe combines four key factors:

  • Relevance - how important the mention is for the brand
  • Sentiment - whether the coverage is positive, neutral or negative
  • Reach - how visible the coverage is
  • Content Quality - how strong, original and useful the coverage is

The Solution

Centralized monitoring and smarter PR measurement

With Mediaboard, Alensa gained one platform for monitoring media coverage, comparing markets and evaluating PR performance.

Instead of relying on disconnected local reports, the team can work with consistent media data across countries and use PRIMe to better understand the value of earned media.

Three Key Outcomes:

Centralized market overview - Alensa gained one clear view of media coverage across selected foreign markets.

Better agency control - The team can compare local agency activity and performance using objective media data.

More meaningful PR measurement - PRIMe helps Alensa evaluate earned media through relevance, sentiment, reach and content quality.
