This is where you tell the story about you. I’m going to talk to you today about social media and PR. First of all, I should add an caveat. I’m a PR professional who uses social media. I’m not a social media expert, but then social media is about three minutes old, so who is? As entrepreneurs, social media can extend the life of a good idea. I got into social media because at EMA, we care about it. Some people think PR and social media go hand in hand. I know for me, it helps extend the ideas we have. For example, let me tell you about a goat.

Your company can make news
IF Facebook were a country – it would be the 3 rd largest in the world. More members than U.S. has residents.
FB connects people based on your likes, not just your geography. Pose a questions – are you on facebook?
If your brand or category didn’t have a Facebook page, it does now. Go to Facebook and do a search. EMA has a Facebook page, but this is the community page, created by Facebook.
Facebook can also spread news on blogs, in traditional venues like this one from the Washington Post. At bottom of a Washington Post article, it shows me who else I am connected to that likes… if I am logged into facebook.
Your own personal “What’s new” page
