A Gem of Advice from K.D. Paine
I recently attended a seminar hosted by The Balcom Agency on behalf of the Fort Worth PRSA Chapter. This
was not your average event however, as K.D. Paine, the social media and public relations measurement guru
herself, was the keynote speaker. A true treat for a social media “techy” like myself, the experience was
wonderful, beneficial and quite insightful. I have studied K.D.’s work for almost a year now, and to hear her
measurement wisdom in real life was somewhat surreal.
As a community manager, completely immersing myself in the day-to-day of all that is the social media, is just
part of the job description. But to remove myself as the “seller” and to become the “potential buyer” takes a
bit more work when constructing strategies and tactics to better help clients communicate their
messages. These were the challenges I faced as I entered into the K.D. Paine seminar that day, and I have a
hunch, K.D. knew I wasn’t the only one in the room facing this dilemma.
K.D. shared her expertise in many topics of social media and measurement including new school metrics,
making goals in social media, types of social media conversations, how to create the perfect measurement
program and so much more. There was one topic in particular that truly stuck out amongst her other insightful
advice. It was about creating a better, stronger brand and about meeting the goals and expectations your
organization has put in place. K.D. advised everyone at the seminar to do something simple to improve their
business: think of a company similar to yours; one that you are impressed with and seems to hit the nail on
the head, every time. Now take that company and make it your benchmark. Then, the kicker: Take your
benchmark and become better than them.
It seems so simple. In our daily lives, we admire those who do what we want to do and do it well. In business,
we do the same. When we can put envy aside, become humble and begin to recognize this company as our
benchmark we can then do it better. Simple, understated, the best goal you’ll ever set. By setting a
benchmark, you are able to determine best practices, how customers perceive the brand and how to translate
it into your own company.
Needless to say, this gem of advice was not the only thing I learned from K.D. Paine that day. But I can
guarantee you it’s something I won’t forget.

and volunteers his or her time to help organizations? SuperPawn wants to recognize these special people!
Starting today, we’re launching a Facebook contest for residents in Arizona and Nevada called the
SuperPawn SuperHeroes Contest. Nominees must be involved in community service and align with the
SuperPawn mission statement: “We proudly support local nonprofit organizations dedicated to lifting lives and
strengthening our community.”
The contest will run through July 1st, with three grand prize winners chosen. SuperPawn will ask the winning
contestants to choose a charity that supports our five areas of charitable giving, which include: the military,
families in need, financial literacy education, natural disaster relief and public safety initiatives. The charity
must also be in good standing as a 501(c)(3) with the IRS.
Each grand prize winner’s charity of choice will receive a $1,000 donation from SuperPawn. The winner will
present the check at a special SuperPawn luncheon that will include representatives from the nonprofit
organization and members of the SuperPawn leadership team. The SuperHeroes will also receive a
recognition plaque and a $250 Visa® gift card. Additionally, the person who nominated the winner will receive
a $100 Visa® gift card.
