Social Media & PR

    A view from the bridge

London College of Communication,
  University of the Arts London
PR industry “missing the boat”
“Within minutes of PRWeek's
interview starting, Grant is
lambasting the PR industry for
'missing the boat' on digital,
allowing advertising and media
agencies to steal a march.”

 - Robin Grant, Global Managing
     Director, We Are Social - PR
           Week, 24th May 2012
Current challenges [in a nutshell]
1. Increasing commercialisation of social media

2. Rise of the ‘social business’ or ‘social
   organisation’

3. Data-driven communications
What’s happening to Facebook?
1. Post-IPO social interaction within Facebook is becoming
   increasingly commercialised

2. Shift from ‘organic’
   to paid communication
   pushes Facebook more into
   the domains of media
   and ad agencies

3. Similar happening with
   other platforms, e.g. Twitter
Commercialisation
• Facebook:
  – Newsfeed not ‘open’ communications channel
  – Determined by Facebook’s ‘EdgeRank’
  – Visibility determined by Affinity, Freshness &
    Weight of ‘edges’, e.g. links, photos, videos, etc
The word from within Facebook
• ‘While news feed posts are fine for everyday
  engagement, businesses should consider using
  ‘Sponsored Stories’ [i.e. advertising] to ensure
  business critical information reaches users’
                   – Advice from Facebook employee
The Rise of Social Business
Social business strategy absorbs all
Who owns social communications?
Big Data?
• Commonly applied to the vast quantities of
  data being generated by contemporary socio-
  technological systems whose size is beyond
  the ability of commonly used software tools to
  capture, manage, and process the data within
  a tolerable elapsed time
             – Bollier 2009; boyd and Crawford 2011
What is Big Data?
•   Search engine marketing performance
•   Digital ad acquisition metrics
•   Website analytics
•   Email communication performance
•   Online surveys
•   Social media conversations
•   Media content
Tracking big data
   • Database of 20 billion social media conversations
   • 8 million new posts archived every hour
   • Social media and news
     sources gathered




SOURCE: Sysomos MAP
Impact on PR?
• “Metrics driven communication, advocacy and
  outreach efforts are now becoming the
  expectation.”
        – Big Data comes to the Communications Industry

• [Political] campaign planning now “involves the
  computer-automated analysis of blog postings,
  Congressional speeches and press releases, and
  news articles, looking for insights into how
  political ideas spread”
                                  – The Age of Big Data
Future for PR…?
• Much more complex landscape blurring boundaries
  between traditional industry sectors and organisational
  models

• Strong opportunity to adapt, presuming PR can fulfill
  its role as a strategic business function

• However, need to consider:
   – Big rethink in terms of skills of PR practitioners
   – Big rethink in terms of organisational structure and roles
   – Greater leadership from industry bodies

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Increasing commercialisation of social media – driving SM comms/marketing into domian of paid media industriesRise of social business – impact of convergence and disintermediation affecting all business areas. Internal (and external) landgrab for ownershipData-driven communications – Significant growth in available data and thuscomplexity of understanding and planning effective consumer and organisational engagement
  2. What is social business
  3. Who owns comms internally? There’s the perennial landgrabs but also driven by external factors, such as consumer engagement – fine line between customer service conversations in social media and reputational issues. Getting it right needs proactive awareness and strategic action!But also beware external landgrabs…… PR agencies pushing this (e.g. Edelman) but alsot he boutique/niche/specialist agencies (e.g. 1000Heads; WAS; etc) and also Mgt Consultancies (McKinsey; PA; etc)
  4. Complexity of consumer and organisational landscape now becoming truly visible and adopted by consumersOpportunity to deliver real, insight led campaignsPersonal exerience is – not always the case – and often assumptive or aggregated or macro-level or media insightsChallenge is to respond appropriately at the organisational and strategic levels
