  • Public relations professionals have long understood the importance of building relationships with key members of the media. But in the social media age, where news breaks online and stakeholders can communicate directly with brands, it’s more important than ever to have a comprehensive social media strategy in place. When done correctly, social media can be a powerful public relations tool that helps build relationships with key journalists, connect with potential customers and clients, and establish a strong online presence.

At StreetCred PR, the culture is one of collaboration, education, and continuous improvement on the part of every PR practitioner, all in an effort to deliver their clients outstanding results.

Quotes [17:21] - "Every firm leader or every C-suite executive has gotten to where she or he is because of hard work and they've got brains. But when you're entering into something new, like being interviewed, whether it's on camera, whether it's via audio or just a phone interview, you need to be able to make sure that you are approaching it thoughtfully and you are as prepared as possible. And sometimes that is going to take a high degree or at least some coaching." - Jimmy Moock  [25:48] - "Don't turn your nose up to social media, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and all the other platforms where you can really amplify your message and where future generations of your own clients will expect you to be present. You don't have to be the best Instagrammer or Tweeter or LinkedIn user or Facebooker in the world, but you do have to have a legitimate presence there." - Jason Lahita Links  Jason Lahita on LinkedIn Jimmy Moock on Linkedin Jason Lahita Email Jimmy Moock Email StreetCred PR StreetCred PR on Twitter Gregory FCA General Electric Sony Corporation Panasonic Global AT&T Joe Duran FiComm Partners Amit Dogra Our Thing with Sammy The Bull Sea Stories: My Life in Special Operations Connect with our hosts Craig Stuvland tru Independence Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts TheIndieAdvisor.com Interested in going independent?
