A Guest Post by Corina Manea, Chief Community Officer of Spin Sucks & Founder of NutsPR. Just a few short years ago, brands were pondering whether to give this social media thing a try or not. There was this popular belief that social media wouldn’t last, so why put yourself or your company out there? It was for the kids. A fad.

As an industry, public relations has a PR problem. Stereotypes about the profession die hard; 14 years after “Sex and the City,” people still think Samantha Jones is a typical PR woman. Or maybe they liken PR to dirty tricks, like the antics of fictional Big Tobacco flack Nick Naylor in Christopher Buckley’s satire “ Tha nk You For Smoking” (P.S., it’s hilarious.).

I was recently asked the following question by a professional who follows my work: Does my organization need to be crisis ready even though we aren’t a huge brand? This is an important question, as it often leads to push-back from management when those who know the organization isn’t crisis ready attempt to gain the necessary buy-in to become crisis ready.

The lens through which you choose to see a negative situation directly impacts the actions you take in response to that situation, which directly impacts the results that that situation has on your brand. This means that choosing your lens, and empowering your teams to have and act through the right lens, is essential in building brand invincibility.

When should a large company take a political stand? Some PR experts would say never. And you can’t blame big companies if they want to avoid public debates about the causes of gun violence, climate change, or other politicized issues. But increasingly, corporate America is being asked to pick a side.

The virtues of silence have long been recognized. The popular saying “speech is silver but silence is golden” may date back to ancient Egypt. It probably means that in some circumstances the less you say the better it is. I can imagine that when you are in the company of strangers, discretion would be more appropriate than indiscretion. Keeping a secret can be a form of silence that is highly ethical.

More precisely the statistic read something like this: “Today’s buyers might be anywhere from two-thirds to 90% of the way through their journey before they reach out to the vendor.”. We can credit Forrester Research as the source of that specific number, but several reputable research organizations had similar findings.
