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. In this workshop, Tom 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.
Traditional Media vs. New Media: It's Just Media
These days, people get tripped up over the line between traditional media and new media. In actuality, there is no traditional media or new media; there is just media. And, as always, the goal is the same: to communicate with these audiences effectively. The key to achieving this goal is finding those influencers who speak to your brand and facilitating a two-way conversation with them. Tom will outline how to build relationships with key influencers and provide tips for social media writing.
