Likes Don’t Pay the Bills, EMV Does

Discover how Earned Media Value turns Influencer Marketing into Measurable ROI

What is EMV?

Earned Media Value (EMV) assigns a dollar value to the exposure and engagement your brand earns through influencer content. Think of it as: if you had to buy the same reach via ads, what would it cost you?
This makes influencer marketing measurable, comparable, and accountable.

Why EMV Matters?

  • Vanity metrics (likes, views) may look impressive, but they don’t prove if you reached the right people. 
  • EMV shows how influencer content builds awareness, trust, and recall with your exact audience. 
  • It helps benchmark performance against competitors and industry standards. 
  • Leadership and finance teams need hard numbers, not hype. 
  • EMV translates influencer output into a monetary value comparable to ad spend and other marketing investments. 
  • It positions influencer marketing as a strategic growth channel, not just an experiment.
