What do we call Public Relations?


1984!

“Public relations is the practice of managing the spread of information between an individual (or an organization) and the public”


2010!

“Public relations is a strategic communication process that builds mutually beneficial relationships between organizations and their publics”


How to build a

mutually

beneficial

relationship?


INFORMATION conversation

Why will people want

to enter into the

How the conversation will lead to a relationship?!


EMOTIONS ARE THE ENGINE OF PUBLIC RELATIONS AT THE DIGITAL AGE


What are the 3 basic activities on social networks?





Like is an emotion in itself

Commenting is often inspired

by an emotional link to the

topic

People will share content that

moves them




WHAT PR PROFESSIONALS

MUST LEARN FROM THAT?


COMMUNICATING IS NOT ENOUGH

A winning PR strategy is not only about releasing information and sending out press releases: it is about inspiring a relationship


Traditional PR is {nearly} dead


EMOTIONS HAVE BECOME THE VEHICULE

Create a set of content that will inspire emotions from your stakeholders: social media ignition



CROWDS HAVE BECOME A MEDIA

Listen, monitor and be ready to interact directly with your stakeholders: be part of it and switch to the conversational mode


DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS

People are commenting outside of the core information: check your vulnerabilities and stay accountable



STAKEHOLDERS ARE LOOKING FOR PAIRS

People will often share information based on self identification: identify influencers and information flows



Crisis situations will happen

Conversations will expose organizations like never before: be prepared and be ready to react fast



WHAT are the pilars of all that?


listening monitoring &!


The art of modern public relations

is to become a

“community driven organization”


Open
