1984!
“Public relations is the
practice of managing
the spread of
information between an
individual (or an
organization) and the
public”

strategic communication
process that builds
mutually beneficial
relationships between
organizations and their
publics”

Like is an emotion in itself
Commenting is often inspired
by an emotional link to the
topic
People will share content that
moves them

WHAT PR PROFESSIONALS
MUST LEARN FROM THAT?

18. © Christophe Ginisty 2014!
COMMUNICATING IS NOT ENOUGH
A winning PR strategy is not
only about releasing
information and sending out
press releases: it is about
inspiring a relationship

19. © Christophe Ginisty 2014!
Traditional PR is {nearly} dead

20. © Christophe Ginisty 2014!
EMOTIONS HAVE BECOME THE VEHICULE
Create a set of content that
will inspire emotions from
your stakeholders: social
media ignition

21. © Christophe Ginisty 2014!

22. © Christophe Ginisty 2014!
CROWDS HAVE BECOME A MEDIA
Listen, monitor and be ready
to interact directly with your
stakeholders: be part of it and
switch to the conversational
mode

23. © Christophe Ginisty 2014!
DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS
People are commenting
outside of the core
information: check your
vulnerabilities and stay
accountable

24. © Christophe Ginisty 2014!

25. © Christophe Ginisty 2014!
STAKEHOLDERS ARE LOOKING FOR PAIRS
People will often share
information based on self
identification: identify
influencers and information
flows

26. © Christophe Ginisty 2014!

27. © Christophe Ginisty 2014!
Crisis situations will happen
Conversations will expose
organizations like never
before: be prepared and be
ready to react fast

29. © Christophe Ginisty 2014!
WHAT are the pilars of all that?
