Final Takeaway
• Social Media impacts your business
• You can have a strategic influence on whether it impacts you positively or negatively
@joshaston
Public Relations = Human Relations
Both inside and outside of the organization.

Merging Traditional to Social – Where influencers and customers interact with the content = friends and followers = more exposure to your brand
@celesteedmunds
The history of traditional media
• In 2009, we saw traditional media’s big shift. Newspapers and magazines dropped in droves. Broadcast entities struggled to produce news reports with minimal staff. Digital had begun to dominate. Those news entities slow to adapt were left picking up the pieces.
• As a result, 2010 became the year of adapting, reviving and surviving.
• 2011 brought a lot of change. Google Analytics and Algorithims, Creating Facebook accts for businesses, tracking website visits.
• 2012 has brought large opportunities to companies that are willing to take advantage of the new platforms available.
@celesteedmunds
Is all about human relations. The question is how to reach your target audience. One size does NOT fit all.
Public Relations = “personalized” relations
