What is PR?
Its public relations (not manipulation)
Informing, presenting, & distributing your brand
Using all the available channels… appropriately.
Who, what, where, when & why

PR: The changing landscape
We can now reach communities of people directly.
We don’t control the media
Participation is the new marketing
Media is becoming socialized
New classes of authoritative voices
Newsflash: People are listening to each other!

Become the other person
Who are you trying to reach?
What kinds of people
What is important to them
Where are they
Where do they look for information

Why Regular Press Releases Fail in Social Media
They have the wrong singular focus, which is on the company issuing the release.
They are full of marketing-speak that inherently engenders mistrust in the eyes of the social media audience.
They don’t have a specific audience in mind, and are written broadly and presented blandly.
