I have long held a fascination for Newswhip. Their Spike and Analytics solutions provide a wealth of data that can shed light on social media buzz and content performance. But after seeing demos, and even playing around the software, it was unclear exactly how to put Newswhip to work to support media relations.

Tech PR and media relations are sometimes a bit like dating. You must be thoughtful about when and with whom you become “exclusive.” If a PR pro fails to consider offering a story to media as an exclusive, he may forfeit a great opportunity. Overuse it, and he risks getting a bad rep with journalists. What exactly is an exclusive? The word is a little misleading, because it sounds like you’re giving the story to only one reporter.
Public Relations Today brings together the best content for PR professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

Right at the top, I dove into sharing five successful pitch examples. My anxiety ebbed as I hit points I believed would really help the audience. And then out of the corner of my eye I saw the questions coming in over the chat box, poking holes in why the examples weren’t relevant to individual questioners.

What good is a chicken restaurant that doesn’t have any chicken? That’s the question many Brits were asking a few weeks back when certain KFC restaurants in the United Kingdom ran out of their signature entrée. Apparently, a simple logistics mistake led to the temporary forced closure of hundreds of KFCs in the United Kingdom. Initially confused and outraged, chicken fans were a bit mollified when KFC offered a humorous if a bit cheeky, mea culpa.
