Summary transcript for 11 April 2013 #AWCchat: Blurred lines between PR, marketing and advertising

Thanks to everyone who participated in our 51st #AWCChat on Twitter about today’s convergence of PR, marketing and advertising, and what that means for professional communicators.

There were only two questions posed, but a lot of discussion flowed from them….

1)  Defining terms as they are understood today: what really IS the big difference between PR and marketing? Or is there one, in reality?

2)  Sponsored content = content you pay for that looks “real” (if it’s done well.) How can you avoid the landmines inherent in creating it?

Some top-notch resource links shared in this chat, too!

Summary transcript for 15 March 2012 #AWCchat: editorial calendars

Thanks to everyone who participated in our fourteenth #AWCChat on Twitter, on the topic of creating editorial calendars that work for online content creation (like blogs and Facebook Pages.)  Our guest host was National Board of Directors member Aliah Davis-McHenry – she’s @AliahPR on Twitter.

Four questions were up for discussion:

1)   What are some initial steps to set up an editorial calendar that supports your overall communications strategy/goals?

2) Are there “low-hanging fruit” online content topics that can help busy communications professionals get started on their editorial calendar?

3)   Let’s talk tools. What services/software can we use to set up and run our calendar? How about for multi-author planning?

4)   How is an editorial calendar for online content significantly different than one for print?

**  On Chirpstory – the summary transcript for 15 March chat on editorial calendars.

The next #awcchat is scheduled for Thursday, 22 March 2012, on successful internships – being an intern and hiring an intern. Our guest host is PR and marketing strategist Jane Baxter Lynn - she is @JBLStrat on Twitter.
