Gini,
Great post and I completely agree that public relations is changing and today's practitioner needs to master paid, owned, and earned media. With that being said, shouldn't stop calling ourselves public relations professionals and start calling ourselves what we are- integrated marketing communications professionals.

Great post and comments. This summer I have been reading the following books for class:
1. The Social Organization by Anthony Bradley and Mark McDonald
2. Social Media ROI by Oliver Blanchard
3. Measure What Matters by KD Paine
Last semester I read Groundswell which is an excellent book.

Gini,
Thank you for the insight into your blogging process. I recently began blogging for my internship and for personal branding purposes. At first, I was intimated by the thought of blogging and was insecure about my writing style. However, the more I blog the more comfortable it has become. Reading articles like the one you have written is very helpful for someone like myself.

Hey Gini,
Sorry it has been so long since I last commented on your blog but life has been crazy. I love this article. Too many people forget the importance of organizational culture. As you have noted, it can play a huge role in the success or failure of a social media program.
Great list Gini. Hope you and the Arment Dietrich team have a Happy New Year.
JayBaer Great point Jay. I think email is most effective when it is integrated with social and content marketing.
ginidietrich I just read a chapter a day. It reads read like a dry textbook.
Gini,
Excellent post. Of the six skills integration seems to be the most important one. As technology and social media continues to evolve it is becoming increasingly more important that companies integrate their departments and communication tactics. In their book IMC-The Next Generation authors Don and Heidi Schultz do a great job discussing this topic in greater detail. However, it has been almost ten years since the publication of their book and we are just now starting to see companies shift from a traditional compartmentalized run organization to a more integrated run organization. I look forward to reading your book in May so I can further my knowledge on this subject.
Great post. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I am going to guess that you are in Jacksonville, FL
Ginni,
Excellent advice. It is amazing that a few years into the social media revolution companies are still hesitant to deal with negative online comments.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations! Writing a book is a major accomplishment. I am going to pre-order my copy tonight.
Edward,
It sounds like an amazing class. I really like your idea of maintaining an idea book. What are your required text books for the class?
Keredy Andrews In my media relations course we did spend a good amount of time on social media. Northeastern University professors do a great of integrating offline and online communication strategies into their curriculums. My specialization is also in Social Media and Online Communities so I will be taking five courses that solely focus on social media and digital technologies.
As a graduate student studying Corporate and Organizational Communication I really enjoyed your take on using twitter for effective media relations.
Jeff-Great post. For the past few months I have been trying to spend more time on G+ but my interest quickly fizzles. The stream is one of the most annoying features. Maybe I am just used to 140 character limit but there seems to be too much information on each post. However, I realize that G+ has much to offer and your post has motivated me to get back on G+ and dig a little deeper.
Jeff ,
I couldn't agree more. It is not appropriate to use your company's time and resources to promote your brand. Do you think this is a generational difference between Gen X and Gen Y?
