With the New Year comes new ideas and trends. Here is one we
found in a Shift Communications article that we think could be very helpful.
Peak attention and audiences
The reader’s attention cannot hold the massive amount of online
content that is available. As a result, it is difficult to capture the target
audience’s attention. In short, too many choices make it hard to focus on
what’s most relevant. We see this especially with the overflow of content and
comments on social media platforms, such as Twitter or Facebook.
Our
goal as public relations professionals can no longer be to simply try to reach
everyone through every media platform available. This only adds to the dilemma about
what to read when.
One solution
to this challenge is the owned audience approach.
Owned audience are those people
who you have identified your message is appropriate for. Proficiency in a
variety of social media activities including tagging and email communications
in social media can help fine tune who our audience is. This allows for the best impact for invested effort
and resources.
Other
2017 public relations trends include the increased importance of “dark social
marketing”- the amount of communication which occurs behind closed doors and
private groups, and the shockwave of content that includes fake news or other
content options that are not verifiable in the last year.
