“Blogging today is all about connecting and engaging with real and growing audiences; sharing stories and ideas and generating discussion and two-way interaction on and offline. Most of all, it’s about building and fostering a genuine community of fans, followers, supporters, enthusiasts and advocates of the blogger’s brand, of who they are and what they stand for” - @trevoryoung, PR Warrior and author of “microdomination”

Adopting multimedia publishing strategies
• Social elements as content: – Recorded and embedded google hangouts – original video content (TL;DW?)
– Inclusions of embedded tweets as quotes
– Content rich with hyperlinks to relevant/sourced content
– Interactive discussion in comments

Performance analysis What worked: • Twitter was a
powerful short-term amplifier
• Linked in delivered a stronger long-tail result
• Experimenting with all sorts of content
What was learned: • It’s really
challenging building a community and audience!
• First video potentially too long – 30 mins
• Need for earlier-stage content promotion

Parting thoughts • There’s a lot that goes into making a
successful blog • Experienced the pros (and challenges) of
citizen journalism + content creation • Earned vs owned vs paid audience – best way to
kick start? • I’m now a blogger
– Upcoming hangouts with FB Comms Head, RSPCA Comms Lead, H&K’s corp comms director in bangkok
– Industry news and events – Blog profiles and industry marketing
