Which of the following steps is an example of an earned media performance metric?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Earned media is publicity and attention a brand receives organically from third parties (users, journalists, bloggers) rather than paid placements or content the brand directly controls.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Earned media: mentions, shares, reviews, conversations and other forms of organic attention created by third parties.
- Owned media: channels the brand controls (website, blog, social profiles).
- Paid media: advertising, sponsored posts, paid placements.
- Performance metrics for earned media therefore measure organic user behaviors and third-party mentions (engagement, shares, conversations, referrals).

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- Examine each option to see if it measures organic, third-party activity.
  A. Number of likes and shares: Likes and shares come from users deciding to engage with and propagate content. Those are organic signals of attention and reach — classic earned metrics.
  B. Actions taken by users: This refers to user-driven behaviors (clicks, comments, conversions that result from organic referrals or posts). When those actions originate from earned placements (mentions, shares), they are earned-media metrics.
  C. Conversations on blogs and elsewhere: Blog posts, forum threads, news stories and comments are third-party content and discussion — the textbook definition of earned media (mentions, sentiment, volume).
- All three describe metrics that capture third-party, organic attention rather than brand-paid placements or strictly owned-channel activity.

3) Intermediate “calculation” steps
- No numeric calculation needed; the logical classification is:
  If metric = organic third-party action or mention → earned media metric.
  A = organic engagement → earned.
  B = user actions from organic sources → earned.
  C = third-party conversations → earned.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- Each option measures organic attention or third-party activity; therefore every option fits the definition of an earned media performance metric.

5) Why other options are incorrect
- A, B, and C individually are not incorrect — they are each correct examples. The only incorrect choice would be any option that excluded one of these valid earned metrics. Thus selecting any single letter except “All of the above” would be incomplete.

6) Conclusion
- Because A, B and C are all valid examples of earned media metrics, the correct answer is D. All of the above — which matches the provided answer.
