This document discusses how social media has disrupted traditional public relations and marketing strategies. It argues that with everyone able to act as media through sharing content online, companies must treat all audiences as potential media channels. It introduces the concept of an "earned media hub" strategy, which focuses on creating valuable content that motivates audiences to engage with and spread brand messages through likes, comments, and shares. The document provides guidelines for developing such a strategy, including understanding what types of content different audiences and algorithms prefer, and measuring the results of efforts to drive sharing behaviors online.
