Text 100 gets this. We’ve won accolades for our social media campaigns across the globe. We’ve also won praise from our industry for initiatives such as our global blogger surveys and pioneering work in the virtual world Second Life. But we don’t do it to for fame. We do it because our consultants understand how people make decisions. To this point, we’ve realized you can distil the often complex science of PR planning down to three basic questions:1. What are we selling?;2. Who do we sell it to?; and3. What channels influence these sales decisions? If the answer to 3. is “social media channels”, then we’ll certainly emphasise blogs, social networks and forums in our PR programs. Similarly, if the answer is “traditional media”, then we’ll ensure that newspapers, magazines and television programs feature. And if the answer is “a round of golf” or “a glass of beer at the pub”, then we’ll be teeing off at noon - or pouring the first pint. And, as is more likely, the answer is “all of the above”, then we’ll tell our clients’ stories across a number of integrated channels.
