Social Media & Digital Strategy

We are in the midst of a sea change in the tools we use to communicate with each other and our key publics.  TV news is shedding viewers in massive numbers. Hardly a week passes without news of another daily newspaper going out of business or into Chapter 11. Our mobile phones — and even our television screens — now give us the ability to communicate with nearly anyone within range of a tower or satellite anywhere on the planet.

And just when we had mastered emails and text messaging, along comes a new set of communications tools known collectively as "social media." Bottom line: you and your organization must understand how social media communication tools — YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, various blogs, Wikis and more — can help you achieve your operational goals. Believe us: your publics are already using social media tools in large — and growing — numbers. Martin Waymire can help you understand social media. We know how to blend social media tools with traditional public relations strategies and tactics. Want a presence on Facebook? Want to issue a social media news release? Wondering what the heck Twitter is? We can show you and give examples of how we’ve used social media tactics successfully with our clients.
