And the smartest PR agencies get that you have to have a relationship with your community if your PR or marketing messages have any chance of getting anywhere. I got up and asked them, “if that’s the case, why do we need PR agencies?” That’s just not realistic anymore. Nor is it scalable to the Open Community. Read All About It!

Back in 2009-2012, when social, search, mobile and other channels under the digital umbrella were less mature, specializing in one of those disciplines seemed like the way to go, and that was the advice from career experts.

In 2009, I worked for a B2B software company that took sessions from their user conference and packaged them up into a half-day “virtual conference.” I’m not completely knocking the idea wholesale – rather I think it’s something marketers should consider carefully internally before bringing it up with a broader set of stakeholders.
