Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users' updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length. Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. The sender can restrict delivery to those in his or her circle of friends (delivery to everyone being the default). Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, SMS, RSS, email or through an application such as Twitterrific or Facebook.
James Andrews is a digital marketer with over 12 years experience. He currently serves as the Vice President, Director at Ketchum Interactive a division of Ketchum. A communications innovator, Ketchum ranks among the largest global public relations agencies, operating in more than 50 countries. He has a personal blog known as thekeyinfluencer.com. He tweets under the handle of keyinfluencer. And this past January, he had a bad day.
This particular Twitter posting came back to bite the agency person from Ketchum (New York office) who made some unflattering remarks about Memphis this morning before he presented on digital media to his client’s worldwide communications group of (150+) people. Not only did a client employee find it, they were totally offended by it and responded to the agency person. The client?
They copied the FedEx Coporate Vice President, Vice President, Directors and all management of FedEx’s communication department AND the chain of command at Ketchum. Mr. Andrews, the Ketchum presenter, did not take into account that many FedExers are native Memphians and are feircely defensive of their city and their company.
