 relations.
“To add to all the confusion, not all of these titles always relate accurately
to public relations, but all of them cover at least part of what public
relations is. At its best, public relations not only tells an organisation's
story to its publics, it also helps to shape the organisation and the way it
works.
Through research, feedback communication and evaluation, the
practitioner needs to find out the concerns and expectations of a
company's publics and explain them to its management.” - CIPR

It’s A World Of Change, Isn’t It?
The tenets of strategy are the same as they
have been for the past 3,000 years
Clients are still ultimately measured on the
performance of their business
We still communicate with people
ultimately in mind to be influenced
It has never been cheaper or easier to
produce content
Clients can disintermediate the media and
communicate directly with their audiences
Audiences can easily communicate with
each other on a large scale
We have new media vehicles
The news cycle lasts longer – online news
sources act like an echo chamber
A change in emphasis….

Media 2.0
Weekly and monthly publications are
left behind:
Wired is still a monthly magazine but
also publishes a plethora of content
every day
Sections are user-generated such as
Found: „Artifacts from the Future‟
Daily publications now publish
several times a day through different
media:
The Times is one of the largest audio
content providers in the UK media
The news cycle lasts longer – online
news sources act like an echo
chamber:
The most linked-to site by English
speaking blogs is the New York Times
online, the Guardian is close behind it

JetBlue case study
Valentines Day 2007:
130,000 customers trapped in bad
weather conditions
JetBlue fliers were trapped on the
runway at JFK for hours, many
ultimately delayed by days
Only 17 of JetBlue's 156 scheduled
departures left JFK

What JetBlue did
Communicated directly with its
audiences
Admitted that things had gone wrong
  Explained what had gone wrong
  Explained what they were going
 to do about it
PRagmatic approach required
•Embrace and understand the environment
• Understand the audience and how influence works
 online
• Understand how traditional media is changing
• Knowledge share – workgroups, trend spotters etc
• Get over the „technology‟ hurdle - use the tools
 personally to discover PR uses and how to make your job
 easier
• It will take time
• You may make mistakes on the way

Monitoring




|42   |13 January 2008   |Trainer/s: AN Other, Job title and company
Why?
• ID core stakeholders and influencers outside of traditional media/contact lists
• ID where conversations happening and WOM networks of influence on the
 web and offline
• ID existing/emerging conversations and trends relevant to your organisation,
 brand, industry, key staff etc
• ID which traditional media online rank highly in SEO terms
• Market research, message auditing, pre-crisis and strategic planning, leaks
• To help plan proactive PR and social media strategy
• Traditional PR databases/tools (e.g. Mediadisk, Editors, Vocus) fall short
• Beyond journalists - „Normal‟ people can be influencers
• „Reputation Insurance‟ – Masterfoods
• Mapping techniques can be used for finding and tracking proactive coverage



43
Mapping
•Reputation monitoring software suppliers, specialists and
 agencies (over 150 specialist suppliers out there)
• Free tools plus your own internal data (e.g. Web analytics)
• No one solution best – until Google develops „Trends‟
• None fully automated – human analysis/filtering required – an
 evolving industry

•Can be costly, so vital to plan: What information is most useful
•Presenting to strategy planners – visual models, Wikis, databases
 etc
• How to share and maintain information across teams and
 external agencies



44
Key words
ID primary keywords - Organisation, brands, spokespeople,
 initiatives, affiliate organisations, known brand detractors,
 „competitors‟
•Brainstorm internally and use clients‟ internal departmental data
 and external agency data
•Keyword tools: Google Wordtracker
•Web analytics - Your analytics should show your referring key-
 words and phrases
•Analyse web log files
•PPC Campaigns
•Online research tools: Hitwise, Comscore and NNR




45
Search engines
 Still thinking about key words:
•Search engines – Google, Yahoo, Live, Ask etc
• Check inbound links to your sites via Google: Link:www.yourdomain.com
• And Yahoo: Linkdomain:yourdomain.com
•Yahoo! Site Explorer
•Make sense of what you find
• Organic search and PPC results for each keyword
• Google page rank
• Review source and establish their link community and who they influence
• Establish whether target for PR, link, partnership or monitoring
• Issue cluster
• Contact details
•Search ranking against key words

Influence
Popularity vs influence
•Popular stakeholders of an
 issue influence many. But
 those they influence may not
 themselves be influential, e.g..
 Jodie Marsh - bullying
• Influential stakeholders
 impact those
 who matter, directly and/or
 indirectly, e.g.. Demos on
 social policy

Promotional tactics




|57   |13 January 2008   |Trainer/s: AN Other, Job title and company
Measurement & evaluation
What gets measured gets done
Be careful what you measure
• Evolving web analytics area,
 especially buzz and sentiment
 analysis
•Speak to your/your clients web
 analytics team to see what can
 be measured
• Test and learn
•Think about engagement as
 well as reach
•Think about ROI                  Picture by calloohcallay




58
Online media & press centres
Plan to develop an online media
centre? Establish PR objectives
with developers
• Argument for transparent
 information for consumers and
 journalists – no log-in
• Needs to be:
•Accessible and easy to navigate
• Search function for images, text and video –
 ability to tag all media content when adding
 for Universal Search
• Searchable archives
• RSS
• Social bookmarking
• Search Engine Optimised releases and media
 content

• Social media release
59
SEO press releases
 ID primary keywords/phrases relevant to release content and add:
 In the release headline
 Once in the sub-header (if applicable)
 In the first paragraph – keyword density in body text<10%
 Also use in alt tag of associated images
 At least once in the meta description tag
 Once on the URL of the page
 Embed links to optimised and relevant content pages on your website
 Add release to online media centre, put on posting sites – does not replace „sell
in‟
 Must be well written …read and judged by people not just search engine
spiders!
 Measure and track response and feedback into process
 Old materials can be re-optimised




60
Online media relations
•Most obvious element of online PR - rarely executed well
•PROs „tick the online media box‟ or use wires and posting sites
• Perception online coverage less valuable
• Reality - reach is huge!
• Negative as well as positive coverage stays online for a long time -
 affects SEO
• Measurable – e.g. unique users/view, referral clickthroughs,
 blog citations, SEO position, outcomes from traffic generated by
 referral URL
• Get it right, measure it and watch client perceptions change
 rapidly
• You will have ID‟d key targets through monitoring process
• Share learnings between teams


61
Corporate blog
3 things that blog readers demand – compelling content, freshness
and interactivity
•Develop simple policy guidelines for staff and „conversationalists‟
• Get the tone right and expect it to develop over time
• Post regularly
• Designate editors
• Be authentic and honest – your thoughts about ghosting?
• Allow comments – it‟s a blog!
• Link liberally and engage with the blogosphere

Social currency and
social objects

Identifying your social currency and social objects




                                              64
Levels of online PR engagement
Monitoring: no engagement but
active listening to what is being
said about the organisation and
its peers – any related issues
Low-level engagement: as
Monitoring plus response-led
online presence
High-level engagement: as low
level engagement, but proactive
approach, integration with other
marketing and customer services
activities


                                    Picture by cmcbrown
Blog relations
•Read and listen – tonality, attitude to brands and
 orgs etc
• Develop a conversation and participate
• Be open
• Soft sell
• Supplement with promotional tactics
• Use experts and enthusiasts
• Provide creative and relevant „blog fodder‟ or
 „social currency‟
• Don‟t be afraid of losing some message control
66
Social Networks
•Similar to blogs, „friends‟ demand useful content,
 interactivity and kudos
•Time intensive - develop editorial team and simple
 policy guidelines for staff and „conversationalists‟
•Each network has different tools and audience – What
 works for Bebo-ers might not for Facebook-ers
• Provide regular challenges
• Rank and reward creativity and talent
• Amplify content the network creates
• Set project timelines and communicate this to „fans‟

67
Crowdsourcing
•Open call to „public‟ to solve a
 problem and collaborate to help
 achieve a goal
• Final solution is usually agreed by
 the participating crowd
• Rewards often Whuffie
•Many potential applications for PR
•Idea generation and filtering
•Tasks being carried out
• Time intensive, lack of message
 control, multi-territory legal and IP
 restrictions are issues




68
Forums & BBS
Depending on brand between 40% -
85% of UK user comment on forums,
bulletin boards etc
 But, a definite shift towards blogs
and other forms of social media
 Monitor environment, identify and
learn from comments
 Same rules as blog relations
 Do not recommend a „covert‟
approach or seeding comments
 But, opportunity to respond to
negative comments and improve
level of conversation
 In majority of cases, forums self-
regulate but occasionally you may
need to post…



69
Curated Web




  70
Video and podcasts
Easy cost effective to make and host
 compelling podcasts and video
Blogs and social network users happy
 to link to good, relevant content
Must be strategic about driving
 consumers to it and measuring
 impact
Opportunities for PR:
• Create blog and social network fodder or
 content for debate/mashups/viral
• Use celebrity broadcast time to create
 exclusive video and audio content
• Audio/visual media releases – brings
 story to life
•Brand or campaign channels in Youtube,
 MySpace etc




71
Wikis




 72
Viral
•Audience (demographics, psychographics, geography, available
 technology)
• Tonality
• Brand credibility – can you talk to an audience in this way
• Viral motivators – humour, self interest, sex, topicality, extreme
 behaviour, charity
• Simplicity – best are often the simplest ideas
•What is the utility?
• Highly commercial channel – few getting it right
• Social media creating own viral effect
•Cost effective?
• Never guaranteed
• Message at the mercy of the recipient
• Influence v impact
73
Virtual world and online events




  74
Events
•Don‟t just have to take place in
 Second life
• Consider practical use of web
 2.0 tools to support on and
 offline events

Strategies for managing unfavourable
comments and opinions

•If so, what are you doing about it?
• If so, put criticism in context
•Is it on influential site – assess and rank site
• Who is the detractor – are they influential
• Are others commenting
• Is it affecting search ranking
• Assess seriousness of attack – this is where you
 should get legal advice

85
Strategies for managing unfavourable
comments and opinions

• Get the facts straight
• Consider message, conversationalist and channels that will be used
• Review procedures/protocols and mobilise the team members
• Humour and self deprecation can help
• Be candid and declare your interest

  • 60. SEO press releases ID primary keywords/phrases relevant to release content and add: In the release headline Once in the sub-header (if applicable) In the first paragraph – keyword density in body text<10% Also use in alt tag of associated images At least once in the meta description tag Once on the URL of the page Embed links to optimised and relevant content pages on your website Add release to online media centre, put on posting sites – does not replace „sell in‟ Must be well written …read and judged by people not just search engine spiders! Measure and track response and feedback into process Old materials can be re-optimised 60
  • 61. Online media relations •Most obvious element of online PR - rarely executed well •PROs „tick the online media box‟ or use wires and posting sites • Perception online coverage less valuable • Reality - reach is huge! • Negative as well as positive coverage stays online for a long time - affects SEO • Measurable – e.g. unique users/view, referral clickthroughs, blog citations, SEO position, outcomes from traffic generated by referral URL • Get it right, measure it and watch client perceptions change rapidly • You will have ID‟d key targets through monitoring process • Share learnings between teams 61

Levels of online PR engagement Monitoring: no engagement but active listening to what is being said about the organisation and its peers – any related issues Low-level engagement: as Monitoring plus response-led online presence High-level engagement: as low level engagement, but proactive approach, integration with other marketing and customer services activities Picture by cmcbrown
  • 66. Blog relations •Read and listen – tonality, attitude to brands and orgs etc • Develop a conversation and participate • Be open • Soft sell • Supplement with promotional tactics • Use experts and enthusiasts • Provide creative and relevant „blog fodder‟ or „social currency‟ • Don‟t be afraid of losing some message control 66
  • 67. Social Networks •Similar to blogs, „friends‟ demand useful content, interactivity and kudos •Time intensive - develop editorial team and simple policy guidelines for staff and „conversationalists‟ •Each network has different tools and audience – What works for Bebo-ers might not for Facebook-ers • Provide regular challenges • Rank and reward creativity and talent • Amplify content the network creates • Set project timelines and communicate this to „fans‟ 67
  • 68. Crowdsourcing •Open call to „public‟ to solve a problem and collaborate to help achieve a goal • Final solution is usually agreed by the participating crowd • Rewards often Whuffie •Many potential applications for PR •Idea generation and filtering •Tasks being carried out • Time intensive, lack of message control, multi-territory legal and IP restrictions are issues 68
  • 69. Forums & BBS Depending on brand between 40% - 85% of UK user comment on forums, bulletin boards etc But, a definite shift towards blogs and other forms of social media Monitor environment, identify and learn from comments Same rules as blog relations Do not recommend a „covert‟ approach or seeding comments But, opportunity to respond to negative comments and improve level of conversation In majority of cases, forums self- regulate but occasionally you may need to post… 69
  • 71. Video and podcasts Easy cost effective to make and host compelling podcasts and video Blogs and social network users happy to link to good, relevant content Must be strategic about driving consumers to it and measuring impact Opportunities for PR: • Create blog and social network fodder or content for debate/mashups/viral • Use celebrity broadcast time to create exclusive video and audio content • Audio/visual media releases – brings story to life •Brand or campaign channels in Youtube, MySpace etc 71
  • 73. Viral •Audience (demographics, psychographics, geography, available technology) • Tonality • Brand credibility – can you talk to an audience in this way • Viral motivators – humour, self interest, sex, topicality, extreme behaviour, charity • Simplicity – best are often the simplest ideas •What is the utility? • Highly commercial channel – few getting it right • Social media creating own viral effect •Cost effective? • Never guaranteed • Message at the mercy of the recipient • Influence v impact 73
  • 74. Virtual world and online events 74
  • 75.
