Public Relations Defined

“Public relations is a strategic communication
process that builds mutually beneficial
relationships between organizations and their
publics.” – PRSA.org

PR = not just media relations
Push vs. Pull

Let’s test your social
media knowledge…
Poll Question #2
 WHICH STATEMENT IS FALSE:
 a) If Facebook was a country, it would be the
    3rd most populated in the world.
 b) Justin Bieber has the world’s most Twitter
    followers (19.8 million and rising)*
 c) One third of U.S. women aged 18-34 check
    Facebook first thing in the morning (even
    before they go to the bathroom).
 *Lady Gaga has 22 million Twitter followers!!!
Impact on Economic
Development Marketing
 FOUR CENTRAL OBSERVATIONS

 1. “Bought,” “Owned” and “Earned” Media
 2. “SME” (Social Media Engagement) Index &
    ED’s Target Audiences
 3. Put Away the Megaphone
 4. Speed at the Point of Need
An ED Organization’s “Marketing
Mix”
    Bought                 Owned                  Earned

•Advertising (print,   • Website              • Search Engine
 broadcast and         • Sales Literature       Optimization
 online)               • Email Marketing      • Editorial
•Paid Search           • Newsletters (print     Placement (print,
 Engine Marketing        and email)             broadcast and
                       • Special Events         online)
                       • Blogging &           • Social Media
                         Microblogging          (cultivating
                                                influencers)
SME (Social Media Engagement)
Index

Put Away the Megaphone
Put Away the Megaphone
 With 300+ marketing messages every
 day, “megaphone” messages are tuned-out

 A Simple Recipe for Success:
   1) Be Found…Place smart, helpful content
      in places where it will be found
   2) Presentation is Everything…Display your
      content in an engaging manner
Be Found: Distributing Your
Content
Use of Infographics
Making It Interactive
Speed at the Point of Need

  “It’s the NOW revolution.
    Speed wins. Or kills.”
                             Jay Baer
                    Social Media Guru
Speed with the News Media

Then:                  Now:

“I’m working on a      “I’m working on a story
story for Sunday’s     that we’ll post on the
business section.      website in the next
Can we set-up a time   hour. Here’s my
to talk?”              question and please
                       talk fast…”
Speed with Potential Clients
            •   Practices “listening at the
                point of need” on Twitter,
                LinkedIn
            •   When someone mentions
                New Brunswick, Canada
                online, the CEO responds
                immediately: “How can I
                help? What do you need
                to know?”
NEXT PRACTICES:
A Look At Six Emerging
   “Best Practices”
    for ED Groups
Next Practices #1

             THE RISE OF THE
          DIGITAL AMBASSADORS
 • Identify individuals with large social media
   followings and invite them to serve as
   “digital ambassadors”
 • Provide content that can easily be shared
   with their networks
 • Give them incentives to be active
 • Measure and report back the success
Next Practices #2

     SHOW AND TELL WITH YOUTUBE
 • 4 billion videos are viewed/day
 • Integrate! 500 years of YouTube video are
   watched every day on Facebook, and over
   700 YouTube videos are shared on Twitter
   each minute
 • More video is uploaded to YouTube in one
   month than the 3 major US networks
   created in 60 years
 • Testimonials
Next Practices #3

  BRIDGING THE GAP TO “CONTACT US
      FOR MORE INFORMATION”
   “On average (and with little variation
  among industries) customers will contact
     a sales representative when they
 independently complete about 60% of the
       purchasing decision process.”
                       Marketing Leadership
                              Council Study
Next Practices #4

                  PLAY, WORK (OR BOTH?)
                     WITH PINTEREST
 • Newest, hottest social website
 • With over 11 million unique monthly
   visitors, Pinterest became the fastest standalone
   website to eclipse the 10 million per month mark
   ever. (source: PR Daily)
 • Pinterest gets more monthly usage per user than
   Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn combined. (source:
    AllTwitter)

 • Demo: Women 25 – 34 (source: Ignite)
Next Practices #5

          RETHINK LINKED IN
FOUR WAYS ED GROUPS CAN
             UTILIZE LINKED IN
1. Connect with current investors and ask
   for introductions
2. Actively participate in industry groups
   which bring you into contact with
   potential investors
3. Research c-suite decision makers of
   target companies
4. Consider inexpensive Linkedin ads to
   employees of specific companies or
   job titles
Next Practices #5
             AND A SHAMELESS PLUG…
             • Join the LinkedIn Group
               “Economic Development
               2.0” and its 3,500+
               members
             • A group that excludes
               sales-driven/promotional
               postings
Next Practices #6

       TEACH + LEARN = SLIDESHARE
 • 60 million visitors/month
 • 3 billion slideviews/month
 • Connect to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter
 • Embed YouTube videos
 • Share your presentations
 • Learn from others
Summing Up: Six “Next Practices”
 1. The Rise of the Digital Ambassadors
 2. Show and Tell With YouTube
 3. Bridging the Gap to “Contact Us For More
    Information”
 4. Play, Work (or Both?) With Pinterest
 5. Rethink LinkedIn
 6. Teach + Learn = Slideshare

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Most organizations are still in social silos. To be effectively social, you must break free from the silos and integrate with all other departments for optimum effectiveness.
  2. Regular people matter
  3. FREEYou should already be using these. If not, you are behind.Company name, CEO, projects, prospects, etc.Include misspellings, quotes, etc.
  4. This is just a small sampling of vendors for public relations service providers which include services such as monitoring and distribution.
  5. HAROFree to sign up.Three e-mails a day.Only respond where it makes sense.Follow the 5 rules of HARO.
  6. Opt in mechanism; choose to view your video; people who already know you; might introduce you and your message to another group.
  7. Media has fragmented, and the traditional marketing funnel is more like a bowl of spaghetti. Proactive, megaphone messages can get lost in the shuffle, or easily tuned out by customers. Especially in ED, where the target audience is so narrow, focusing on inbound marketing is a better way to promote. Create smart, HELPFUL content and put it in places and formats will it will be found. Google’sground-breaking Zero Moment of Truth research (zeromomentoftruth.com) found that we are moving to the era of self-serve information. In 2010 people consumed 5.3 pieces of information before making a purchase. Just one year later, it was 10.4 pieces of information. A separate study found that B2B buyers want at least 60% of their questions answered before they talk to a real person.

  11. Take advantage of the opportunity economy. Every day conversations are occurring that are directly or indirectly relevant to your ED organization. Martell Homebuilders in New Brunswick increased sales by 400% by “listening at the point of need” on Twitter and elsewhere. They were fast AND helpful. They set up searches and every time someone mentioned New Brunswick, their CEO would tweet back and say “hey, I’m in New Brunswick. How can I help you? What do you need to know?” Nothing about selling houses, as that information will be easily discovered.But, if you tweet that person back in 3 days, you’ve lost the momentum.The same is true with blog and forum comments, Linkedin Groups, Linkedin Answers, and just about every place where consumer-generated content lives online. If you are blog comment number one, every person that reads that blog will see your comment. If you are comment number 23, far fewer people will see the comment. It’s the NOW Revolution. Speed wins. Or kills.
