Because of this open narrative, often people take straight to social media to call brands out – when historically you may have just sent an email to complain. These will be the people who will decide if it’s a PR disaster and whether you need to execute the rest of your plan. Nowadays, it can all be done in the public domain.

I found that when people heard the word “blog” their heads seemed to immediately fill with images of dancing cartoon babies and funny cat photos. With Google Analytics I can see if people are engaging with our blog’s content and then use that information to adapt to the preferences of site visitors. Efficiency. It’s a good thing.

Lately I’ve been wondering about whether or not it’s the little things that count. Sure I make errors on what I write but – I just shake my head when I read stupid mistakes: Why can''t people be careful – particularly the newer to PR types?
