With so much attention being paid to seemingly self-serving company and brand efforts with social media, new interests are beyond sale and profits have been brought up. CSR asks companies to consider the effects of their businesses.

CSR helped by emphasizing social responsibility for individuals, groups and companies.

CSR can be seen as a way to develop legal, ethical and global best practices within large corporations.

Lessons

PR practitioners have learned how to use social media in a more effective way within the past decade.

1.Measure what matters- impressions and ad equivalency are moot points if your media efforts aren’t impacting the company's bottom line.

2.Re-think media placements- social sharing, online pieces are often driving conversation better than print coverage.

3.Adopt a channel-agnostic approach- by connecting content across earned, owned, and paid media, brands can tell a cohesive story that resonates with discerning consumers today.
