HowSocial Media

& Public Relations

Differ

Page 8: Social Media: It's affect on Public Relations

Research Research the existing opinions and attitudes of

your target audience No more ‘big hits’, no more mass emails Be specific, know your audience User generated content

Analyze

Analyze that information, using it to prepare a communications plan

Target your audience… …and target them even more Specific niches, need to customize

What’s the same?

Nothing new, same concepts Be truthful, be honest, be transparent SM just forces the company to be that

way…not just PR Makes it easier for us! Traditional vs. non-traditional

Can we consider internet non-traditional now? For how much longer?

Remember Believe that people are inherently good

If you trust your audience (consumers), they will trust you

Get involved – online and offline CPRS, Mesh conference, pod camp, TGGD

The only limits are your imagination Take opportunity, try things out
