Introduction
This report is aimed at business to business companies operating in the technology, media
and telecoms sectors that wish to initiate or enhance communications and public relations
activity in the European market. We are often asked, by clients and prospective clients, how
they should implement communications activity in Europe. It is a complex issue but one that
has to be answered properly to avoid making expensive mistakes. There are probably more
examples in the region of failed strategies than there are of successful implementations.
The report is designed to help companies put the infrastructure in place for successful
European B2B PR by providing answers to some basic questions:
1. Which of a range of European countries are most developed from a media
perspective and offer the greatest potential outreach opportunities?
2. What factors need to be considered when designing a strategy for B2B
communications in the European market?
The raw analysis is accompanied by some commentary and advice on the possible
communications outreach models that should be considered. In an appendix to the report we
provide details of the most prolific journalists and most quoted analysts for each of the
sample topics examined.
Building company profile and opportunity in the home market isn’t always easy but at least
there are a number of known quantities – you share a common culture and language, you
probably know who has influence, you know what is acceptable and what isn’t, and you
probably have an intrinsic understanding of the way things work. Most of that doesn’t apply
when you venture into new markets. There will be some commonality but the chances are
things will be very different. You’ll find out, for instance, that although you might be very
interested in the opportunities in a particular country, the core tactics you would deploy in
your home market may fall flat.
Europe is a region of tremendous cultural diversity and more than two hundred languages
are spoken. The same kind of diversity applies to the region’s media and industry analyst
community. Understanding the intricacies comes through experience but you can give
yourself a good start by first prioritising your focus based on looking at some of the
fundamentals.

Methodology
Babel has undertaken a comprehensive analysis of media coverage in the twelve months
prior to 27th
June 2013 (in recognised titles) of three sample topics – 4G, Smart TV and
Cloud Computing – in thirteen European countries. Categories of media titles included tier
one and two business, trade & technical, vertical and channel (peripheral media e.g. press
release reprints are ignored). The following data is extracted from that coverage:
 Absolute number of articles in each region for each topic
 Names of the relevant journalists and media titles
 Names of industry analysts quoted in the articles
 The companies mentioned in the articles
We then compare and contrast the results and provide a comparison against the same data
produced for the US market.
Media coverage
The charts below outline the raw results of the research. For each of the three topics of
interest (4G, Smart TV and Cloud Computing) we show the share of coverage that media
based in each of the countries contributed to the total.
What is immediately obvious is that the United Kingdom, even if you take account of the fact
that it is one of the most populous countries in the sample, dominates in terms of media
coverage. Conversely, Italy, with a similar population, represents only a small percentage of
the total. To the external observer that situation makes very little sense and it’s one of the
reasons why so many European campaigns fail to meet expectations. Although the market
opportunity in the UK and Italy might be the same for a given product, solution or technology,
allocating the same percentage of the public relations budget to each generally isn’t
sensible. If we assume the overall budget is about right, the likely consequences are that the
UK will be starved of resources and Italy will be using funds to chase opportunities that
simply don’t exist.

The media environment across Europe may seem unbalanced but it is relatively easily
explained through an understanding of a range of factors:
 Despite the Italian example already discussed, population is a factor. The most
populated countries do produce the greatest volume of media.
 English is the dominant language of business and is widely spoken across the
European region. The European Commission has estimated that more than 50% of
all Europeans speak English well enough to have a conversation. Amongst the
business community that percentage is likely to be much higher. It naturally follows
that if a media organisation is going to invest in a new title, traditional or online, it
ought to invest in one that has appeal to the greatest potential audience.
 The next two most common languages used in European business communication
are French and German and it’s therefore no surprise that France and Germany
rank in the top three in terms of coverage volume in our sample.
 Pure economics – the European media sector is incredibly competitive, low margin
as a result and many markets simply don’t have enough of a potential audience to
make a large number of single country, home language B2B trade, technical and
vertical titles viable.
Naturally, in the same way that major financial centres like London and New York become
dominant and effectively block
competition from other markets, the
same happens in the world of
media. That helps to explain the
dominance of UK based media and
it is very unlikely that situation will
change in the near future. As
shown in the chart on the left, even
companies as well resourced as
Cisco find the bulk of their
European media coverage
originates from a small number of
countries with UK based media
dominating again.
It sounds obvious but the other
factor that some companies fail to
bear in mind when considering
where to invest their
communications budgets is that
executives don’t necessarily restrict themselves to media that originates in their home
market. This is particularly the case in the minor markets and so someone in Norway is more
than likely reading media that was published in the UK or perhaps in Germany or France.
Indeed many technology, media & telecoms titles see themselves as European rather than
single country in focus. The result is that a hit in a significant title in one of the major markets
will more than likely ‘bleed’ into the minor markets, definitely a factor to consider when
thinking about a strategy for European communications.

Media Reach Index
In an attempt to provide a simple measure of the likely impact of investment in
communications activity in each country we have created the ‘Media Reach Index’ (MRI).
The MRI provides a cross-country benchmark which is derived from a comparison of media
coverage with country population. In the example below we are using coverage on a single
topic, Cloud Computing.
An MRI figure is calculated by dividing percentage share of media coverage by percentage
share of population and so an MRI of 1 (as per Denmark) indicates that the two measures
equate. MRIs below 1 indicate share of coverage below population share and the converse
applies for MRIs above 1. For example, the share of media coverage for the United Kingdom
(25.9%) is 1.6 times that country’s percentage share of the total population of all countries in
the sample.

Media Reach Index
Belgium 2.9% 1.4% 0.5
Austria 2.2% 1.0% 0.5
Norway 1.3% 0.6% 0.5
Spain 12.9% 7.4% 0.6
Italy 15.5% 9.0% 0.6
Germany 20.8% 17.1% 0.8
Denmark 1.5% 1.4% 1.0
France 16.5% 17.3% 1.1
Netherlands 4.3% 6.7% 1.6
United Kingdom 16.6% 25.9% 1.6
Poland 1.0% 1.7% 1.8
Switzerland 2.1% 4.1% 1.9
Sweden 2.5% 6.2% 2.5
For the sample topics in this report it follows that an investment in media based public
relations activity in those countries with a positive MRI has the potential to produce more per
dollar invested than in those with a negative MRI. We have shown on the following page how
the MRI might be used as an initial modifier in calculating communications budget
allocations for activity in each country.

The chart below shows how a notional European budget of $1M might be allocated using a
simple calculation based on population. A revised budget allocation to more accurately
reflect the media potential is then provided based on the application of the MRI (original
budget figure multiplied by the relevant MRI). The same total budget is deployed but the
allocations can change considerably.

Germany 20.8% 17.1% $208,200 0.8 $170,950
Denmark 1.5% 1.4% $14,500 1.0 $14,312
France 16.5% 17.3% $164,800 1.1 $173,291
Netherlands 4.3% 6.7% $43,400 1.6 $67,465
United Kingdom 16.6% 25.9% $165,800 1.6 $259,484
Poland 1.0% 1.7% $9,800 1.8 $17,292
Switzerland 2.1% 4.1% $20,900 1.9 $40,649
Sweden 2.5% 6.2% $24,800 2.5 $62,038
Total budget $1,000,000 $1,000,000
Naturally you should be taking account of a wide range of factors before making investment
decisions and, in the example above, despite the high MRI scores for Poland, Switzerland
and Sweden, you would want to think carefully about those budget allocations – the raw data
is limited, may not be representative and you would need to take account of the inherent
inefficiencies in serving smaller markets. It is not uncommon, for instance, for companies to
focus their investments on three of four of the major markets and rely on news ‘bleed’ and ad
hoc activity to feed the remaining markets.
Despite its limitations we believe the MRI provides a useful starting point for companies
embarking on, or reviewing public relations activity in the European market and the same
principles could be applied in other regions.

It is not uncommon for us to be asked
by a US company to make
recommendations for European public
relations activity based on a budget that
is either equal to, or more often less
than the equivalent budget for US based
activity. That budget may be sufficient to
meet the brief but if it has been defined
simply by reference to market size the
same impact is unlikely.
The total population of the countries
sampled in this report is 387 million and
while that is not dissimilar to the US
population of 314 million, there the
similarities end. The charts on the left
show the percentage of coverage for
each of the topic areas in the European
countries sampled compared with the
coverage for the same topic in the US.
It is immediately clear that the number
of opportunities in Europe is significantly
greater and the first question companies
need to ask is do they want to address
the market comprehensively and if so,
what advantage that would bring. To do
so, with all of the complexities of
location, language and culture, can be
prohibitively expensive but
understanding the issues does help in
the definition of an acceptable
compromise if needed.
A number of solutions are possible and
they are discussed in brief later in the
report. The only certainty is that properly
addressing the European market
requires an appropriate budget which
may exceed that deployed in the US.

Conclusions – complex but by no means impossible
Few companies in the technology, media and telecoms sectors have a single European
country focus. Most products, services and technologies ignore geographic borders and so
it's important that your PR agency can address that European audience when and if
required. There are a number of options, all with specific management and budgeting
implications, but what's important is that you get the campaign that suits your business, and
your way of working.
 English language outreach
As previously noted, the English language and UK based media titles represent a
significant proportion of the European media opportunity. Coverage in those titles not
only reaches its ‘home’ market but bleeds into a wide range of other European
countries (and often further afield). In most B2B technology, media and telecoms
sectors it is therefore possible to deliver a European campaign from a central point.
The campaign model is highly efficient and widely adopted.
 Multi-country agency implementation
For those companies and campaigns that require dedicated and on-going support in
multiple markets, the only real solution is to have dedicated support in each of the
markets of interest. Even in these circumstances though careful consideration should
be given to the potential added value of each additional market – for a variety of
reasons some markets may not be possible to address economically and other
approaches should be considered. In all cases it is important to manage country
teams from a central point to ensure intelligence and information is shared.
 Hybrid campaign support
Another cost effective approach is the hybrid model. Dedicated in-country support is
provided in core markets and that activity is supplemented by an ad-hoc
concentrated effort in other markets e.g. support at a trade show or to promote a
major country-specific announcement. Equally if on-going support is desirable in a
minor market but agency support to be cost prohibitive, a freelance agent can
sometimes be effective.
Whichever solution is chosen, the decision should be made with all the facts to hand – the
market size, the available media, the ability for the company to support etc. The European
market might be complex but all of the data is available to make an informed decision and
campaigns designed on the basis of intelligence rather than guesswork invariably deliver
greater results.

Data in this report was primarily sourced from the media measurement and analysis service, Apollo Research
(www.apolloresearch.com). Adjustments to some data points have been made on the advice of Apollo Research
to ensure the results are broadly comparable and in the case of UK media, the coverage volumes have been
reduced by 50%. The report was drafted to demonstrate methodology rather than as wholly accurate sector
analysis – although we are confident of the approach, the precise results should not be used as the basis for
individual campaign development.

Appendix - Who is speaking loudest?
The data in this appendix is provided for information only and outlines the top ten most
prolific journalists, the most quoted industry analysts and the companies that are most often
referred to in the coverage examined. It should be noted that ‘most prolific’ and ‘most quoted’
does not necessarily equate to ‘most influential’ – we would not recommend that this
information is used to compile target lists without cross referencing against a range of other
data. Blanks in the data indicate there was not sufficient media coverage in that country to
fully compile top ten lists in each category.

  • 3. 3 Introduction This report is aimed at business to business companies operating in the technology, media and telecoms sectors that wish to initiate or enhance communications and public relations activity in the European market. We are often asked, by clients and prospective clients, how they should implement communications activity in Europe. It is a complex issue but one that has to be answered properly to avoid making expensive mistakes. There are probably more examples in the region of failed strategies than there are of successful implementations. The report is designed to help companies put the infrastructure in place for successful European B2B PR by providing answers to some basic questions: 1. Which of a range of European countries are most developed from a media perspective and offer the greatest potential outreach opportunities? 2. What factors need to be considered when designing a strategy for B2B communications in the European market? The raw analysis is accompanied by some commentary and advice on the possible communications outreach models that should be considered. In an appendix to the report we provide details of the most prolific journalists and most quoted analysts for each of the sample topics examined. Building company profile and opportunity in the home market isn’t always easy but at least there are a number of known quantities – you share a common culture and language, you probably know who has influence, you know what is acceptable and what isn’t, and you probably have an intrinsic understanding of the way things work. Most of that doesn’t apply when you venture into new markets. There will be some commonality but the chances are things will be very different. You’ll find out, for instance, that although you might be very interested in the opportunities in a particular country, the core tactics you would deploy in your home market may fall flat. Europe is a region of tremendous cultural diversity and more than two hundred languages are spoken. The same kind of diversity applies to the region’s media and industry analyst community. Understanding the intricacies comes through experience but you can give yourself a good start by first prioritising your focus based on looking at some of the fundamentals.
  • 4. 4 Methodology Babel has undertaken a comprehensive analysis of media coverage in the twelve months prior to 27th June 2013 (in recognised titles) of three sample topics – 4G, Smart TV and Cloud Computing – in thirteen European countries. Categories of media titles included tier one and two business, trade & technical, vertical and channel (peripheral media e.g. press release reprints are ignored). The following data is extracted from that coverage:  Absolute number of articles in each region for each topic  Names of the relevant journalists and media titles  Names of industry analysts quoted in the articles  The companies mentioned in the articles We then compare and contrast the results and provide a comparison against the same data produced for the US market. Media coverage The charts below outline the raw results of the research. For each of the three topics of interest (4G, Smart TV and Cloud Computing) we show the share of coverage that media based in each of the countries contributed to the total. What is immediately obvious is that the United Kingdom, even if you take account of the fact that it is one of the most populous countries in the sample, dominates in terms of media coverage. Conversely, Italy, with a similar population, represents only a small percentage of the total. To the external observer that situation makes very little sense and it’s one of the reasons why so many European campaigns fail to meet expectations. Although the market opportunity in the UK and Italy might be the same for a given product, solution or technology, allocating the same percentage of the public relations budget to each generally isn’t sensible. If we assume the overall budget is about right, the likely consequences are that the UK will be starved of resources and Italy will be using funds to chase opportunities that simply don’t exist. 4G Smart TV Cloud Computing Austria Belgium Denmark France Germany Italy Neth.

  • 5. 5 The media environment across Europe may seem unbalanced but it is relatively easily explained through an understanding of a range of factors:  Despite the Italian example already discussed, population is a factor. The most populated countries do produce the greatest volume of media.  English is the dominant language of business and is widely spoken across the European region. The European Commission has estimated that more than 50% of all Europeans speak English well enough to have a conversation. Amongst the business community that percentage is likely to be much higher. It naturally follows that if a media organisation is going to invest in a new title, traditional or online, it ought to invest in one that has appeal to the greatest potential audience.  The next two most common languages used in European business communication are French and German and it’s therefore no surprise that France and Germany rank in the top three in terms of coverage volume in our sample.  Pure economics – the European media sector is incredibly competitive, low margin as a result and many markets simply don’t have enough of a potential audience to make a large number of single country, home language B2B trade, technical and vertical titles viable. Naturally, in the same way that major financial centres like London and New York become dominant and effectively block competition from other markets, the same happens in the world of media. That helps to explain the dominance of UK based media and it is very unlikely that situation will change in the near future. As shown in the chart on the left, even companies as well resourced as Cisco find the bulk of their European media coverage originates from a small number of countries with UK based media dominating again. It sounds obvious but the other factor that some companies fail to bear in mind when considering where to invest their communications budgets is that executives don’t necessarily restrict themselves to media that originates in their home market. This is particularly the case in the minor markets and so someone in Norway is more than likely reading media that was published in the UK or perhaps in Germany or France. Indeed many technology, media & telecoms titles see themselves as European rather than single country in focus. The result is that a hit in a significant title in one of the major markets will more than likely ‘bleed’ into the minor markets, definitely a factor to consider when thinking about a strategy for European communications.

  • 6. 6 Media Reach Index In an attempt to provide a simple measure of the likely impact of investment in communications activity in each country we have created the ‘Media Reach Index’ (MRI). The MRI provides a cross-country benchmark which is derived from a comparison of media coverage with country population. In the example below we are using coverage on a single topic, Cloud Computing. An MRI figure is calculated by dividing percentage share of media coverage by percentage share of population and so an MRI of 1 (as per Denmark) indicates that the two measures equate. MRIs below 1 indicate share of coverage below population share and the converse applies for MRIs above 1. For example, the share of media coverage for the United Kingdom (25.9%) is 1.6 times that country’s percentage share of the total population of all countries in the sample. European MRI – Cloud Computing Country Share of total population Share of media coverage Media Reach Index Belgium 2.9% 1.4% 0.5 Austria 2.2% 1.0% 0.5 Norway 1.3% 0.6% 0.5 Spain 12.9% 7.4% 0.6 Italy 15.5% 9.0% 0.6 Germany 20.8% 17.1% 0.8 Denmark 1.5% 1.4% 1.0 France 16.5% 17.3% 1.1 Netherlands 4.3% 6.7% 1.6 United Kingdom 16.6% 25.9% 1.6 Poland 1.0% 1.7% 1.8 Switzerland 2.1% 4.1% 1.9 Sweden 2.5% 6.2% 2.5 For the sample topics in this report it follows that an investment in media based public relations activity in those countries with a positive MRI has the potential to produce more per dollar invested than in those with a negative MRI. We have shown on the following page how the MRI might be used as an initial modifier in calculating communications budget allocations for activity in each country.
  • 7. 7 The chart below shows how a notional European budget of $1M might be allocated using a simple calculation based on population. A revised budget allocation to more accurately reflect the media potential is then provided based on the application of the MRI (original budget figure multiplied by the relevant MRI). The same total budget is deployed but the allocations can change considerably. Country % of total population Share of media coverage Pop. based budget Media Reach Index MRI based budget Belgium 2.9% 1.4% $28,900 0.5 $13,621 Austria 2.2% 1.0% $22,000 0.5 $10,428 Norway 1.3% 0.6% $13,200 0.5 $6,438 Spain 12.9% 7.4% $129,200 0.6 $73,796 Italy 15.5% 9.0% $154,500 0.6 $90,237 Germany 20.8% 17.1% $208,200 0.8 $170,950 Denmark 1.5% 1.4% $14,500 1.0 $14,312 France 16.5% 17.3% $164,800 1.1 $173,291 Netherlands 4.3% 6.7% $43,400 1.6 $67,465 United Kingdom 16.6% 25.9% $165,800 1.6 $259,484 Poland 1.0% 1.7% $9,800 1.8 $17,292 Switzerland 2.1% 4.1% $20,900 1.9 $40,649 Sweden 2.5% 6.2% $24,800 2.5 $62,038 Total budget $1,000,000 $1,000,000 Naturally you should be taking account of a wide range of factors before making investment decisions and, in the example above, despite the high MRI scores for Poland, Switzerland and Sweden, you would want to think carefully about those budget allocations – the raw data is limited, may not be representative and you would need to take account of the inherent inefficiencies in serving smaller markets. It is not uncommon, for instance, for companies to focus their investments on three of four of the major markets and rely on news ‘bleed’ and ad hoc activity to feed the remaining markets. Despite its limitations we believe the MRI provides a useful starting point for companies embarking on, or reviewing public relations activity in the European market and the same principles could be applied in other regions.
  • 8. 8 Comparisons with US market Total Euro countries United States Total Euro countries United States Total Euro countries United States It is not uncommon for us to be asked by a US company to make recommendations for European public relations activity based on a budget that is either equal to, or more often less than the equivalent budget for US based activity. That budget may be sufficient to meet the brief but if it has been defined simply by reference to market size the same impact is unlikely. The total population of the countries sampled in this report is 387 million and while that is not dissimilar to the US population of 314 million, there the similarities end. The charts on the left show the percentage of coverage for each of the topic areas in the European countries sampled compared with the coverage for the same topic in the US. It is immediately clear that the number of opportunities in Europe is significantly greater and the first question companies need to ask is do they want to address the market comprehensively and if so, what advantage that would bring. To do so, with all of the complexities of location, language and culture, can be prohibitively expensive but understanding the issues does help in the definition of an acceptable compromise if needed. A number of solutions are possible and they are discussed in brief later in the report. The only certainty is that properly addressing the European market requires an appropriate budget which may exceed that deployed in the US. 4G media coverage 12 months to 27 th June 2013 Smart TV media coverage 12 months to 27 th June 2013 Cloud Computing media coverage 12 months to 27 th June 2013
  • 9. 9 Conclusions – complex but by no means impossible Few companies in the technology, media and telecoms sectors have a single European country focus. Most products, services and technologies ignore geographic borders and so it's important that your PR agency can address that European audience when and if required. There are a number of options, all with specific management and budgeting implications, but what's important is that you get the campaign that suits your business, and your way of working.  English language outreach As previously noted, the English language and UK based media titles represent a significant proportion of the European media opportunity. Coverage in those titles not only reaches its ‘home’ market but bleeds into a wide range of other European countries (and often further afield). In most B2B technology, media and telecoms sectors it is therefore possible to deliver a European campaign from a central point. The campaign model is highly efficient and widely adopted.  Multi-country agency implementation For those companies and campaigns that require dedicated and on-going support in multiple markets, the only real solution is to have dedicated support in each of the markets of interest. Even in these circumstances though careful consideration should be given to the potential added value of each additional market – for a variety of reasons some markets may not be possible to address economically and other approaches should be considered. In all cases it is important to manage country teams from a central point to ensure intelligence and information is shared.  Hybrid campaign support Another cost effective approach is the hybrid model. Dedicated in-country support is provided in core markets and that activity is supplemented by an ad-hoc concentrated effort in other markets e.g. support at a trade show or to promote a major country-specific announcement. Equally if on-going support is desirable in a minor market but agency support to be cost prohibitive, a freelance agent can sometimes be effective. Whichever solution is chosen, the decision should be made with all the facts to hand – the market size, the available media, the ability for the company to support etc. The European market might be complex but all of the data is available to make an informed decision and campaigns designed on the basis of intelligence rather than guesswork invariably deliver greater results. For more information, or to discuss your requirements in the European region please contact Ian Hood, Managing Director, Babel PR on +44 (0)20 7434 5559 or via ian@babelpr.com. Data in this report was primarily sourced from the media measurement and analysis service, Apollo Research (www.apolloresearch.com). Adjustments to some data points have been made on the advice of Apollo Research to ensure the results are broadly comparable and in the case of UK media, the coverage volumes have been reduced by 50%. The report was drafted to demonstrate methodology rather than as wholly accurate sector analysis – although we are confident of the approach, the precise results should not be used as the basis for individual campaign development.
  • 10. 10 Appendix - Who is speaking loudest? The data in this appendix is provided for information only and outlines the top ten most prolific journalists, the most quoted industry analysts and the companies that are most often referred to in the coverage examined. It should be noted that ‘most prolific’ and ‘most quoted’ does not necessarily equate to ‘most influential’ – we would not recommend that this information is used to compile target lists without cross referencing against a range of other data. Blanks in the data indicate there was not sufficient media coverage in that country to fully compile top ten lists in each category.
