Press Release 2.0

Stamats Integrated Marketing Conference
Press Release 2.0: Generating Buzz in the Social Media Era

Matt Herzberger

Transition from old press room:
  • move to blogging platform (Word press - why not? we have blogs set up there, ready to use. Check out news themes)
  • add multimedia
  • easier to digest (scannable, the web way)
  • easy to link to social media
  • easy for writers
Research

Check out NY Times
Look at socialmediarelease.org - see the template. Yeah - why ARE we writing in that same old way?

What you're trying to do - Make something people actually want to look at/read

Measure

Where - newspaper,msg boards, word of mouth, industry journals
How - Google Alerts, Technorati, Blog Pulse, del.icio.us

Check it for multimedia presentation - soundslides.com

Your web presence is everything out there about you whether you put it there or not.

Here are Matt's slides and a video of his presentation.
