Public relations and social media: At times it would appear there’s tension between the two.
However, social media presents a significant opportunity to enhance PR.
New technologies are changing how we interact with each other—and with businesses. For PR professionals, embracing new tools offers exciting new opportunities to meet clients’ needs.
Here are four opportunities social media offers PR experts and small businesses in 2018:
1. Increase reach for your press events with live video.
Livestreaming is a great way to give your followers a press pass to your events and media conferences.
