The Holmes Report provides its assessment of where leading PR firms stand in their use of social media. Its index ranks the "social effectiveness" of the 25 top global shops, and Edelman leads the list for the second year, followed by Ogilvy and EuroRSCG.

Holmes uses the Sociagility's PRINT™ methodology for its survey, which we're not familiar with. But PRINT™ says the algorithm it uses to produce an organization's PRINT Index™ is based on:

Popularity – the extent to which each brand is attracting attention
Receptiveness – the extent to which each brand is seen to be actively listening to relevant comments or conversations
Interaction – the extent to which each brand is interacting with its communities
Network reach – the extent to which each brand’s community is being built using social media, beyond its immediate network
Trust – the extent to which the content and interaction of a brand is liked and recommended within its network
