Lessons from Social Media Week
February 11, 2009 by Heather
Did you know that this week is Social Media Week? It is. All week, events like “Social Media Platforms” and “The Politics of Social Media” are taking place in New York City. Last night, Fleishman Hillard hosted a panel discussion, “When Social Media Becomes Unsociable.” Follow this link to read Media Post’s summary — or, just read the most important takeaway:
Listen, the message is the same. The words are the same. The way you represent your company is still the same. The desired behavior (from a company to its employee) is the same. The channel has changed. Use your head, know your privacy filters, and, as Constantin Basturea of Converseon said, act like you want to keep your job … Be a responsible representative of your company in public because you never know who’s listening.
Words to live by in this day and age.
