Integrate social media into your larger communications plan. Working with Livingston Communications, the PRSA Professional Development Committee presents a seminar of four basic modules:
1) Basic primer on creating social media strategy
: Social media strategy should begin with listening to stakeholders and building a bridge between them and your organization.
2) Influencer relations theory and best practices: The most popular tactic amongst PR pros, this mirrors Malcolm Gladwell's Tipping Point theory.
3) Reputation management: Because Google reigns as the first place that people go to find anything online a rash of negative blog posts can damage a company's reputation, often ending up in the newspaper. Learn how to protect your organization's reputation online.
4) The role of social networks in online communications and content creation: Blogs have become a mainstay tactic, but social networks have become the pre-eminent starting point for online conversations.
Speakers:
Geoff Livingston, CEO, Livingston Communications
