Plugging In New PR Technologies: How to reach the media in today's 2.0 world


Everyone is blogging. Search engine optimization (SEO) is common place in the corporate world and you cannot turn around without hearing something about YouTube or MySpace. A strong social media strategy can really set your company apart from the competition and extend your business' thought leadership outreach and touch a broader audience. Public relations professionals can help their companies or clients navigate these new waters.

Blogging is the great equalizer as more people are getting information from these citizen journalists-the key as a PR executive is to cut through the clutter and make sure you are reaching those legitimate blogs to bring your client the added value that can come from these outlets.

Podcasting offers controlled production and messaging. It's inexpensive and excellent for promoting a problem and evangelizing the solution. And finally, it's measurable. You can easily tell how many people are downloading your podcast. Your PR firm should help you identify opportunities to partner with key outlets and industry partners to develop a podcast as well as assist you in the development of content.
