The New Rules for Modern Communication: Why the Next Big Trend in PR Is Agile Engagement
Gone are the old days of one-way marketing and communications. Successful content today is conversational, drives behavior and is a more continuous form of storytelling than ever before. To maximize success, we must also become agile in our execution. During this presentation, you’ll learn about the mega trends that are modernizing marketing and communications, their benefits and best practices for leveraging the opportunities. Michael will also offer real-world case study examples.
Vetting in the Age of Social: Who Do You Trust?
Influence over who shares what, how often it is shared, and eventually what shows up in search is the holy Grail for anyone who wants their content to be consumed: news organizations, PR professionals, marketers, bloggers, and more. Michael will discuss where this is leading us, what we can do to make sure we get information we "need to know," and how that information / content is prioritized and weighted by trust.
The 3 Super S’s for Successful Content Marketing: Syndication, Search & Social
In order for content to be shared today, it has to be found first…but today’s marketer can speed up the process by learning how to first create content that is directional in nature but also by learning how to syndicate their content effectively in order to reach audiences both organically and with speed. Michael shows how integrating search, social, and syndications can have extraordinary results raising the visibility & engagement of your brand, product, or message with your intended audience.
Audience Evolution – Where Does the Audience Find Your Media
Where audiences get their media is changing rapidly. These changes depend on the type of content you are pushing and to whom you want to be receiving that content. Michael Pranikoff will discuss how mobile technology is (re)shaping the media distribution industry while incorporating key points from the study. Michael will also talk about how these changes can work with your message and how PR & Marketing departments are beginning to look and work a lot more like Agile Developers.
Continuous Connection, Continuous Engagement
As the pace of communications continues to speed up, marketers are in a battle for the attention and engagement of their target audiences. Michael Pranikoff, Global Director of Emerging Media for PR Newswire, will discuss how PR Newswire has been working with marketing communications professionals all over the world to help them not only reach their core audiences, but how companies are using new continuous strategies to build engagement and direct action through their campaigns.
