Social Networking - Understanding Marketing
It’s easy to start going down the road of doing social media PR but then get off course. Here are 18 ways your social media PR is failing and some explanations of how to do a course correction: 1: Connect With Reporters - Social media PR is highly effective when the laws of social media are applied. This means you have to follow key reporters in order to build effective relationships with them. You can’t engage with people who aren’t in your network. 2: Openly Pitch Reporters - Once you’ve started following those reporters, it’s important to focus on building the relationship.General Motors Co. ( GM ) ousted Joel Ewanick, the high-profile marketing chief brought in to change the automaker’s image, after company officials questioned the propriety of a deal he negotiated to sponsor the Manchester United soccer team, people familiar with the matter said.
