"Social media and their importance for your company's PR strategy" - or how to survive a new media workshop in the most decent way!

OK so this is what you will probably be asked to do in a NEW MEDIA workshop! Please I beg for your mercy while you are watching this video! It was filmed in an empty classroom in the marvellous Harrow campus of University of Westminster with Niki and Rozalia while we were laughing our hearts out. So if you dare take a look!

P.S: The tips we are providing are not relevant with the topic. So please don't judge! Copy paste the script from the internet was the best way to finish this video on time!

I am sure you hear a lot about social media in PR lately. It is true that are essential for a company and can help a lot in a PR strategy. Here are some tips from MA in PR student Niki Cortessis about social media :

Another PR Blog?

Since I was almost forced to create a blog by my New media professor, I found myself in the middle of new information about blogs, rss, and other stuff that I don't remember since I was mostly browsing the internet at the time (What do you mean on Facebook? Of course not! I was checking the news for the new financial measures that the greek government introduced to the public). But when I learned more about it, I was fascinated by the amount of interesting things that you can learn. And don't get me wrong, it is not the first time that I came across with the great "blogosphere". BUT: Now I have to write my own blog about PR of course. And since I am doing my MA in PR i should have loads of things to say about it!

So even if my lovely professor claims that my knowledge of PR is perfect (ok he didn't really said that, but I am just adding some "spin" to his words) I will tell you that: I don't know anything! What I do know is, how a young student,full of dreams and passion for the PR industry feels. And that is what I'll try to do in this PR blog. I ll try to make a diary of a PR professional in the making. I hope you will enjoy it :) Take care and welcome!
