Industry Leaders Are Newsmakers
Earned media is one of the most influential mediums among stakeholders, consumers and government officials. Earned media is a leadership strategy and a positioning strategy that pays dividends in many ways. In fact, the power and cost-effectiveness of earned media is one of the factors that’s driving the integration of marketing, public relations and public affairs.
In the marketing arena, media placements can build awareness, understanding and support in ways that advertising cannot. Strategists on all fronts must be skilled in the art of market segmentation and cutting through the clutter. Strategists must be great navigators because channels are more diverse, fragmented and targeted than ever.
As the media world continues to evolve, earned media is still the most credible and influential way to fuel your social media content and your relationships with online influencers. In fact, the development of fake news is giving traditional news sources more clout.
Earned media can create a viral sensation and a social media bonanza.
