Breaking down silos between Paid, Earned & Owned media through continuous storytelling. We are all familiar now with the PESO model. In December 2009, Forrester defined what it called the three new media options for interactive marketers: “paid, earned and owned.” Earned media had traditionally been the responsibility of public relations, while paid and owned media had been part of the marketing mandate.

In my last post , I explained that social media data can be used to bolster PR efforts. E.g., knowing that KDnuggets scores higher than the NY Times for social media engagements about machine learning can be a big deal if you work in that space (and that is not just a hypothetical – it is the exact scenario their system uncovered, as I shared). I thought my readers would want to know more, and NewsWhip Editorial Director Benedict Nicholson kindly agreed to answer the following questions: The gra

As an aspiring social media influencer, I recently found myself in a heated debate about everyone’s favorite time suck, Instagram. The conversation wasn’t centered around whether my feed looked professional or what hashtags I could use in light of the new algorithm. Rather, my opponent in this debate didn’t understand the value of Instagram for a B2B company, and while I understood her rationale, I didn’t agree with her conclusion.

Adversity is a great teacher. Nearly six months after Hurricane Harvey slammed Houston late last August, we Houstonians can look back and derive important lessons about preparing for a major natural disaster and managing its aftermath. As a corporate communicator who, like others, nervously and helplessly watched the water rise, I learned about the parallels that can be drawn between the historic flood and how companies respond to their own crises.

YouTube has been taking heat for “not doing enough” to stop or limit so-called conspiracy videos on its social media platform. While the Google-owned company says it’s trying to make some strides in this area, critics argue it isn’t enough. Some of the most common targets for criticism are the sort of conspiracy theory videos that promote junk science “theories” about a flat earth or “false flag” school shootings or “government chemtrails” poisoning people.
