What did I learn?

“The current mantra driving the Social Media revolution is this: If the news is important, it will find me!”

Social Media Releases are the press release of PR 2.0 but they DO NOT replace traditional press releases

What did I learn?

PR Professionals are taking on new titles:› Community Advocate› Community Manager› Brand Ambassador› Social Media Specialist› Social Media Evangelist› Vice President of Social Media› Chief Social Officer› Community Relations Manager› Community Builder

Things that surprised me…

Public Relations is not just about practitioners…it is about people

Make it relatable to the public not the journalist

A road map for the journey

Tell me more!

Make it personal…

What does PR 2.0 mean for:› Non-Profit PR› Small Firms

A word from Brian Solis

“Putting the Public Back in Public Relations is not only the title of the book, it is the most valuable lesson we can learn in PR

today.”
