How Brands Can Increase Their Earned Media Opportunities

By | May 4th, 2015|Categories: Content Marketing|Comments Off on How Brands Can Increase Their Earned Media Opportunities

While social media has made it easier for brands to put out messages and have consumers share them, getting coverage in traditional media is still tricky. […]

Sometimes it’s not that easy to convey your business value proposition succinctly and make an impact!

That could be because of my BBC and ABC background perhaps, but maybe it’s as a result of being in Australia for the past ten years where the commercial TV network use programs as an excuse to hammer their audience with ad after ad! Showing utter contempt for your audience isn’t a recipe for a sustainable business in my view. So, with all that said - now I want to draw your attention to an “ad” that I think you’ll find really interesting! […]
