#1 Media change

The fragmentation of media and shift to
social forms of media is the narrative of
the last decade.
We’re shifting from broadcast as a
means of communication with an
audience to two-way communication.

Command and control is an illusion. The
fragmentation of traditional media and
the rise of social media has brought
reputational management into sharp
focus like never before.
Brands are running scared because
those connections are multiplying
beyond their control and audiences
have started to answer back.

We have access, unlike ever before, to
data to understand audiences and
listen to what they think about us, our
products and services, competitors and
a market.
The social web is a massive market
research exercise that no has ever
commissioned.

#4 Content
20. 20 | 19.06.2014
Content in all its forms is the drum beat
of public relations campaigns. We need
to get out of our comfort zone of text
and images.
A modern practitioner needs to be
confident in working, and ideally
producing, all forms of content.

“Organisations are obsessed
with pushing brand and
product messages. They want
to appear cool and feel
good about themselves
rather than engage with their
audiences.”

#5 Corporate media

The future of the media like the future of
public relations is a work in progress.
If you want to maximise how many
people in your community your content
reaches on Facebook, Twitter or
YouTube, you’ll need a paid element.

There is an inherent contradiction
between this regimented approach to
corporate communications and the
dynamism and pace of social networks.
Communicators must balance the
agenda of a corporate organisation
with content to drive engagement
around real time events.
