Frequently Asked Questions
Should social media announcements go live before, during, or after press releases?
Our timing framework typically recommends a coordinated approach - with social teasers before release, amplification during the announcement day, and continued conversation after publication - creating a complete communication arc rather than a single-point announcement.
How different should social content be from press release content?
Our adaptation approach focuses on maintaining consistent core messages while transforming format, language, and presentation - typically making social content more conversational, visual, and concise while preserving the essential news value and key points.
How do we measure the combined impact of PR and social efforts?
Our integrated measurement framework helps you track the complete communication journey - including press coverage, social amplification, audience movement between channels, and combined conversion impacts - rather than measuring each channel in isolation.
How do we handle negative press coverage on social media?
Our response framework helps you develop appropriate approaches based on coverage accuracy, audience impact, and correction value - focusing on factual clarification rather than defensive responses and using appropriate channels for different response types.
