In a land not too far away, two intrepid marketeers; one from the world of public relations and another from the world of social media, got together to explain how cross-platform campaigns were the way forward for brands that are looking to take their consumer engagement to the next level. Andy Barr, Head Yeti at 10 Yetis PR Agency, and Iona St Joseph, Account Manager at A Social Media Agency, combine forces to talk about cross platform campaigns involving PR, social media and online video, with a sprinkling of SEO knowledge. Using examples of campaigns that we have worked on, from Wish.co.uk to Confused.com, as well as case studies of how brands such as Cadbury and LateRooms are using Google+, this slideshare is about how you can use PR, social media and video together in order to maximise your campaigns. If you want to get in touch with any questions, or just to compliment us on the wonderful use of pictures in our slides, then you can.

3. #A4UEXPO
Old School PR
- Circus heritage –
hasn‟tchanged much!
- Historically very press
release driven
- SEO was just an afterthought
- Influencers- limited to
journalists
- Very beery!
- Fear of social/SEOpeople
“taking” PR budgets

4. #A4UEXPO
PR Brand Building
Gone Full Circle
- 7 years ago = Clients wanted
profile & thought leadership
- Then came Google
- Clients wanted authority links
from PR campaigns
- Panda + Penguin = brand
signals
- Clients back looking for
profile & thought leadership
- PRs have had to widen their
knowledge base to compete
in this modern world
- Socially switched on, SEO
savvy

5. #A4UEXPO
Getting It On…
- PRs had to evolve as the job
has evolved
- Need to have social media
partnerships
- Need to have video
capabilities
- Need to be digitally savvy-
knowledge of SEO and
presence on social media
sites.

6. #A4UEXPO
Modern PR Toolkit

- Google Trends (identifying
stories)

- Final Cut Pro or alike

8. #A4UEXPO
Observation #1
- Lots of crossover
- Important teams work together
to share data/intelligence
- PR/Social/Video all help each
other
- PRs bring audience and traffic to
vid and social campaigns
- Social and video gives PR
something tangible to shout
about
- Clients want proof of ROI from all
campaigns

9. #A4UEXPO
The Modern Campaign
- Lateral approach
- Social, video & PR combined
- Need “worldie” ideas –
sometimes simplest are the best
eg. Confused.com Drink Driver
- Influencer first, no longer an
afterthought
- Rigorous analysis (but take
accuracy into account)
- £value of traffic
- Statcounter/Analytics
- Wooly reporting (AVE) is dead

10. #A4UEXPO
Observation #2: Media No
Longer The Only Answer
- Where should we be looking to
place campaigns?
- Influencers
- Examples:
- SHELTER: Bacon vs Daily Mail
- SHELTER: India Knight vs Indy
- WISH.CO.UK: Simon Pegg
- SUNSHINE.CO.UK:Rylan
Clarke

11. #A4UEXPO
Big Ticket Media Is Losing
Influence
- 4 years ago, TechCrunch=
25write ups, couple of k of
uniques.
- NOW: TechCrunch= No wider
write ups, 150+uniques(WOW)
- Daily Mail, Mashable, Buzzfeed,
TNW, all waning in terms of
direct traffic/impact from
articles
- Product campaigns are the last
bastion for mainstream media

12. #A4UEXPO
Defining “Influence”
- Many many scientific thoughts
(dull)
- We view influence in a simple
way
- If they write/tweet/shout about a
client topic, what level of relevant
traffic will it bring?
- If high, they be an “influencer”
- Equation (lets get #MATHY):
- RT+80%PTB=INFLUENCER
(failed maths GCSE 5 Times)

13. #A4UEXPO
Why The Reliance On The
Twitter?
- Proven immediate return
- Hot right now (Oreo; more people
saw Superbowlreactive than watched
theSuperbowl)
- Takeaways from #TwitterForGrowth
- Brands that use Tw well = far
better ROI than online ind
average
- If you capitalise on THAT
moment via = amazing return
- Twitter drives media agenda
- Daily Mail celeb stories
- Influencer engagement results give
you quotes to use on your site
- Less immediate SEO value

14. #A4UEXPO
How PRs Find Influencers
- Ready built arsenal:
- Journalists
- Celeb contacts
- Twitter (lists/hashtags
#jounrorequest)
- Media databases
- Not as robust methods as social
media people
- PRs need to watch and learn how
other sectors do this

15. #A4UEXPO
How Socialeers Find
Influencers
- Far more tools to help
- Peerindex, KRED, Klout, Topsy
(give starting point, need
manually sorting)
- Ready made Twitter lists –
Precise, Business Mags for
Entrepreneurs etc.
- Mashable “Who to Follow”in
different sectors
- Twitter search/hashtags
- Industry advice and information

16. #A4UEXPO
Once Identified – How To
Engage?
- PR skills come in handy
- Don‟t try and f*ck on first date
- Wine and dine (introduce
yourself)
- Think smart
- Back to „wider campaigns‟
mantra
- Videos, social widgets, quirky
gifts (eg. 10Ypostcards)
- Take it OFFLINE (This shit just
got real)

17. #A4UEXPO
What Comes After Twitter?
- Who knows? (not us)
- Emerging channels?
- Twitter is THE conversation
platform
- 90% of chat about a TV show
takes place on Twitter
- The platform of choice for the
second screen generation
- Watch where historic “early
adopters are going” Robert
Scoble, Tech Journalists
- No indicators that Twitter is
heading for fall (Facebook
copying)
- Wider platforms are still copying

18. #A4UEXPO
Lets Look Wider!
- Google +
- Facebook
- Pinterest
- Vine (getting spammy)
- Instagram(particularly video)
- Snapchat (Geordie Shore)
- Tumblr
- Bloggers (still there, but be
careful post Penguin 2.0)
- ASMA social networks list -
