There’s more to media relations than a few snappy press releases and Twitter direct messages to reporters. Effective media relations pros know that reporters and editors want relevant stories and content formatted to their outlets’ needs.
In many episodes of The Brand Ambassadors, the topic of social media has been discussed to varying degrees and the importance it plays with audience outreach and engagement.

Part of developing a strong brand involves knowing your audiences and having a reliable outlet for authentic communication.
