why bother with social media …
HugeGrowingChanging the PR industry dramatically

why bother with social media …
Now more than ever, I am looking for a sound understanding of social media in future employees. I would want to know what channels they are active on and how they can demonstrate an understanding of how brands can benefit from social media on a wider level above and beyond day-to-day Twitter and Facebook updates.
Adrian Johnson, Owner, Umpf

why bother with social media …
I would no longer employ someone who shows no sign of a 'social media life'. Just being on Linkedin is not good enough either. I want prospective PRs with a demonstrated involvement in social media.

why bother with social media …
Aside from the obvious day-to-day ability to use the likes of Facebook and Twitter, the social media skills employers are looking for relate much more to brand use of platforms. Being aware of good case studies where brands have used platforms not only to ‘engage’ but also to make money is essential.
… every good PR campaign inevitably crosses into social media, even if it’s not at the heart of the push. For me, social media is just another weapon in our arsenal, and while it obviously shouldn’t be forgotten, we can’t forget the benefits of other PR practises. We’re given the opportunity to see what people think of our clients and our efforts for them by utilising searches, replying where necessary and reporting back to give a wider view of the success of a campaign.
