“Blogging today is all about connecting and engaging with real and growing audiences; sharing stories and ideas and generating discussion and two-way interaction on and offline. Most of all, it’s about building and fostering a genuine community of fans, followers, supporters, enthusiasts and advocates of the blogger’s brand, of who they are and what they stand for” - @trevoryoung, PR Warrior and author of “microdomination”

Content highlights • #PRHangouts, conducted via Google hangouts
and published on youtube – Andres Lopez Varela, content services director,
weber shandwick – Matthew gain, general manager, edelman sydney
• Investigation into hybrid media power players – House of cards: is netflix the new model for tv
entertainment – Orange is the new black: can the medium determine
the success of the message?
Adopting multimedia publishing strategies
• Social elements as content: – Recorded and embedded google hangouts – original video content (TL;DW?)
– Inclusions of embedded tweets as quotes
– Content rich with hyperlinks to relevant/sourced content
– Interactive discussion in comments
Promotion & community building
• Personal social media profiles – Twitter – LinkedIn – Facebook
• Linked in groups – Our class group and relevant industry spaces
• Direct requests – email and in person! • …considered adwords investments…
promotion
Performance analysis What worked: • Twitter was a
powerful short-term amplifier
• Linked in delivered a stronger long-tail result
• Experimenting with all sorts of content
What was learned: • It’s really
challenging building a community and audience!
• First video potentially too long – 30 mins
• Need for earlier-stage content promotion
Parting thoughts • There’s a lot that goes into making a
successful blog • Experienced the pros (and challenges) of
citizen journalism + content creation • Earned vs owned vs paid audience – best way to
kick start? • I’m now a blogger
– Upcoming hangouts with FB Comms Head, RSPCA Comms Lead, H&K’s corp comms director in bangkok
– Industry news and events – Blog profiles and industry marketing
Any questions?
Thank you!
