No stack of case studies or conference road trips will do it, either. If you don’t have the obvious social chatter about your brand, you have to make the case that content creation will drive search, which drives traffic, which drives sales. You have to commit to social media for the long haul to see the benefits.

Social media is hard False. And that’s only because of the alphabet soup of social networks, lifestreams, sharing sites, etc. Social media is not about Facebook or MySpace or Flickr or Twitter or blogs or YouTube. Be where your customers are. It’s not hard, it’s complicated.

Getting your internal folks on the same page doesn't require skills, or budget, or social media ninjaness. How can I help you?

I actually had a client call me out on stage once, in front of like 800 people at a conference, in an attempt to pay me a compliment. There is no longer appreciation for any kind of professional skill. In the last part, he said, “He’s a cheap date. If you want some advice, just take him out to lunch.&# Great post!

Market saturation brings lots and lots of experts , many of whom think Twitter is a shiny new object and are ready to write books, charge $2000 for conferences where they promise TWITTER TIPS AND TRICKS THAT NOBODY HAS SEEN BEFORE (in caps!), It is something that always amaze me when I am talking about social application.

Relevant experience always matters, as does specific industry knowledge, followed by creativity, a sense of a “safe choice” based on an agency’s reputation within the PR industry and, of course, actual public relations skill.
