MASHABLE: WHO WE ARE
• 40 million monthly uniques • 20 million social followers (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.) • 7.5 million shares per month – that’s 3 shares per second. • Our sweet spot: Telling stories in an inherently social way. If you
see people talking about it on Twitter or Facebook, it’s a story we should be telling.
![Page 51: PRx: The Future of Public Relations & Media](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052621/5585625ed8b42a46298b498b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
WHERE WE ARE
• 50/50 U.S. and International • Largest Markets: New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Chicago, Toronto, London and Southeast Asia.

Or, if you’re a visual learner:

THE SNOWFALL EFFECT: LONGFORM
• Not adding bells and whistles for the sake of adding bells and whistles
• 38% more time spent with longform pieces than with a story in the regular template on Mashable
• Our first foray into longform: The Ballad of Kiwi Gardner
![Page 54: PRx: The Future of Public Relations & Media](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052621/5585625ed8b42a46298b498b/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• Picking and choosing worthy subjects and optimizing for mobile
• The iPhone 6 Review and the iPhone 6 Plus Review
BUILDING A VISUAL NARRATIVE
![Page 55: PRx: The Future of Public Relations & Media](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052621/5585625ed8b42a46298b498b/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
FIRST AND FOREMOST: ENGAGEMENT
• Iterate, experiment, fail – then again – with new products • It’s not just on your website: Building communities on new,
emerging platforms and integrating them into stories
![Page 56: PRx: The Future of Public Relations & Media](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052621/5585625ed8b42a46298b498b/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
IT’S NOT JUST FOR STORIES ABOUT CUTE CATS
• Maps, charts and graphs to more clearly paint a narrative in Gaza or Ukraine, or pulling Instagrams from the ground during the World Cup in Brazil
![Page 57: PRx: The Future of Public Relations & Media](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052621/5585625ed8b42a46298b498b/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
• Or using Vine videos to illustrate global warming or the path of a hurricane’s destruction.
![Page 58: PRx: The Future of Public Relations & Media](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052621/5585625ed8b42a46298b498b/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
At the end of day, it comes down to: How can you best tell your story so
that people not only read it, but share it and come back for more?
