Report Period: SayPro Monthly – May 2025
Reference Code: SCLMR-1
Category: SayPro Once Off
Oversight: SayPro Monitoring and Evaluation Monitoring Office
Unit: SayPro Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Royalty

1. Background and Objective

SayPro’s digital marketing operations play a critical role in brand visibility, stakeholder engagement, and public outreach. However, until now, the systematic monitoring and evaluation of marketing outcomes have not been fully embedded within daily workflows. The primary goal of this initiative, executed in May 2025, was to embed M&E indicators and tracking tools into SayPro’s digital marketing ecosystem. This ensures that marketing efforts are both data-driven and aligned with SayPro’s strategic objectives, enabling evidence-based decision-making and continuous improvement.

2. Objectives of Integration

1. Enhance visibility and effectiveness of SayPro’s digital marketing campaigns.
2. Measure performance of specific digital platforms and content strategies.
3. Track audience engagement and feedback in real-time.
4. Enable data-informed adjustments to campaign strategies.
5. Align marketing outputs with organizational impact objectives.

3. M&E Indicators for Digital Marketing

Below are the key indicators selected and integrated into the marketing systems:
