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.
