The issue is mostly educational, teaching publicists how to weather the avalanche of new communication tools. That\u2019s why Local 600\u2019s Publicity and Publications Committee, chaired by Publicists Guild President Henri Bollinger, reached out to Weissman\/Markovitz Communications, which partnered with Gordon Paddison, CEO of Stradella Road, to produce a one-day seminar on social media.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Paddison invited a savvy group of social media users that included Bob Tourtelotte, Editor Entertainment and Lifestyle at Reuters News, and Sean Phillips, Yahoo! Movies Executive Producer, who both gave attendees a practical view of how online networks are changing the landscape of public relations.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Fisk, Senior Vice President, Sony Pictures International, focused on new media\u2019s impact on the global dynamic, while Edwin Wong, Senior Director of B2B Strategic Insights at Yahoo! supplied statistics as to just how pervasive online marketing has become. Rachel Blum, Director of Social and Digital Public Relations at Stradella Road and Marian Thomas Digital Media Consultant attacked the new \u201cinfo-universe\u201d from different angles, including defining the various platforms from Facebook to Google, YouTube to Pinterest and more.<\/p>\n<p>During the second half of the day unit publicist and communications consultant Deborah Wuliger kick-started an open-ended question and answer session with the panelists, which served up as many opinions as issues on the table.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne out of eight couples have met on social media,\u201d Paddison explained, \u201cand 78 percent of the population gets their information, and more importantly trusts peer opinions, found through advertising platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Google.\u201d Paddison said a staggering 75 percent of TV viewers are on various forms social media, while they are watching popular television shows. \u201cOnline user reviews have taken more power than movie reviews,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2508\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2508\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/2013\/01\/Web-Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying-Social-Media.1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2508\" title=\"Web Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying Social Media.1\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/2013\/01\/Web-Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying-Social-Media.1-590x392.jpg\" width=\"590\" height=\"392\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2508\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">L to R: Local 600 Unit Publicists Deborah Wuliger (L) and Ernie Malik (C)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Reuter\u2019s Bob Tourtelotte outlined how [social media] has changed the flow of public information. \u201cWe watch Twitter and Facebook pages all day long,\u201d he explained. \u201cOnce we\u2019ve verified that site, we see a post and it\u2019s out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese venues open our minds to all possibilities,\u201d Phillips added. \u201cWe work with the studios but we also find ways to use the assets presented to us and [social media] platforms supply that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Phillips explained how social media reporters often seize control from the moment a trailer is released. It could be a new co-star for a super star, why they got cast, or, in the case of heavy effects films \u2013 snippets of how these effects were done.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also about creating a brand. \u201cWhen you give us a piece, we spin it and distribute it through Yahoo Movies, and it gets pushed to a lot of different demographics,\u201d explained Wong. Websites are more traditional \u2013 social media more hip. But, as Wong pointed out, they all tailor to highly niched audiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not traditional media,\u201d explained Stradella\u2019s Blum. \u201cIt\u2019s more like online stalking. People post through Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, for information. It\u2019s frightening what you can find. No longer is there a traditional media list.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2509\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2509\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/2013\/01\/Web-Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying-Social-Media.2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2509\" title=\"Web Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying Social Media.2\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/2013\/01\/Web-Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying-Social-Media.2-590x392.jpg\" width=\"590\" height=\"392\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Edwin Wong, Senior Director of B2B Strategic Insights at Yahoo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean publicists learning about new venues can disregard traditional cycles; they just have to tailor what they feed social media to make the best use of their information. Reuters follows a \u201cretail cycle.\u201d Tuesdays are \u201cin store\u201d days. People are in the office on Monday and get the information traffic. Wednesday through Friday they make the decisions, and they break Thursday and Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong>The notion that so much of the process may be beyond the publicist\u2019s control was a red flag for some attendees. Press information may not always be relayed correctly. Many bloggers, intent on establishing a presence, rarely fact-check. Even an established agency like Reuters will admit a less than 100 percent source-check ratio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow do you get this stuff off?\u201d one distressed publicist lamented. \u201cYou can\u2019t,\u201d Paddison replied. \u201cSome organizations have relationships. But, if something is hot it goes out. You can\u2019t put the toothpaste back in the tube.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t own the conversation [anymore],\u201d offered Sony\u2019s Michael Fisk. \u201cYou are just part of it, and publicists have to realize that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So how do publicists take advantage of something they can\u2019t control? There are WebChats, Twitter feeds and posts, Twitterviews, Facebook posts and more. When promoting <em>21 Jump Street<\/em>, for example, the studio\u2019s publicity created a \u201ctweet off\u201d between Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. They were talking back and forth, encouraging their fans to chime in. The star that got the most Tweets, won. And the list of similar online promotions is limitless. It\u2019s the new \u201cgag\u201d to get an audience\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2510\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2510\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/2013\/01\/Web-Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying-Social-Media.3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2510\" title=\"Web Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying Social Media.3\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/2013\/01\/Web-Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying-Social-Media.3-590x392.jpg\" width=\"590\" height=\"392\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2510\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Local 600 Publicist\/Writer Peggy Mulloy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>One of the most interesting parts of the day was a panel<\/strong> on social media for television, where publicists learned many productions are taking promotion into their own hands. Creators, writers and even some cinematographers are getting involved in this venue to open up audience reach. Jordan Blum, the driving force behind <em>American Dad<\/em>, explained how he put together an online campaign that was character based to drive the publicity for this very low budget project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had our most popular character, Roger, with his own Twitter feed,\u201d Blum detailed. \u201cWe crafted a story around the character [him running for President], and created an interaction with fans. We even had Fox sell mugs and T-shirts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The show <em>Criminal Minds<\/em> presents yet another wrinkle. The character \u201cGarcia\u201d literally tweets extra content throughout the show, and one of the producers found a young woman with a mega Twitter following and cast her on the show. She Tweeted her experience \u2013 pulling in millions of followers to help build awareness for the show.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all about engaging the audience. \u201cRoyal Shakespeare did <em>Romeo and Juliet<\/em> on Twitter,\u201d Paddison said. \u201cThey did the entire arc of the play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the lines of engagement often get fuzzy with new social networking devices. Like producers, writers, and stars shooting videos on their iPhones and iPads and posting them, without going through the publicist or studio.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2511\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2511\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/2013\/01\/Web-Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying-Social-Media.4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2511\" title=\"Web Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying Social Media.4\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/2013\/01\/Web-Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying-Social-Media.4-590x392.jpg\" width=\"590\" height=\"392\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2511\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Fisk, Senior Vice President, Sony Pictures International<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe studios are still old school and trying to adjust to new markets,\u201d Paddison said. \u201cWhat\u2019s happening is happening so fast that people have to constantly pivot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Which makes training and cooperation between production, publicity, and social media sites crucial, even if to many members that sounded like an impossible task.<\/p>\n<p>What were the main takeaways for Guild members once the day ended? \u201cGordon helped us understand the broader value of social media from multiple points of view; journalists, market researchers, international publicity teams, creative content producers and unit publicists,\u201d observed veteran publicist Peggy Mulloy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs someone who started out in print journalism, I was amazed when editor Bob Tourtelotte said Reuters is now willing to quote sources directly from Twitter feeds without verification,\u201d Mulloy continued. \u201cWhen I mentioned this to a studio friend later, she said it\u2019s common practice with many outlets. Eyes wide open everybody!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For many, the day solidified fears about this brave new world of online publicity. \u201cSocial media is very often in the moment,\u201d said unit publicist Michael Umble. \u201cThere might well be great personal stories that can be tweeted and images that can be captured on a cell phone, but as publicists we don\u2019t want a crew member or even a producer or director sending out material on their own. There is no control when such things happen and that was emphasized again and again: once something is out, you can\u2019t bring it back.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2512\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2512\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/2013\/01\/Web-Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying-Social-Media.5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2512\" title=\"Web Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying Social Media.5\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/2013\/01\/Web-Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying-Social-Media.5-590x392.jpg\" width=\"590\" height=\"392\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2512\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">L to R: Weissman\/Markovitz Vice President Cheri Warner, Weissman\/Markovitz Communications Principal Rick Markovitz, In-House Entertainment Vice President Susan Reiner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe lesson for me,\u201d Umble continued, \u201cwas the great potential for social media. But it needs to be controlled. If managed it adds a new layer to what a unit publicist can do. We have talented stills photographers who take great images. If the idea is to send out an Instagram or cell phone image, the stills photographer is the best one to accomplish that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unit Publicist Ernie Malik, although enthusiastic about the presentation, is still not convinced social media sells tickets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf \u2018social\u2019 translates to word of mouth, then it, in theory, should be effective. It\u2019s one of the reasons I came. To see if I could learn anything and be convinced it works,\u201d Malik related. \u201cPresently, it supplements traditional\/mainstream PR. The $64,000 question is: will it supplant traditional\/mainstream media in the future? I wish I had a crystal ball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ever the pragmatist, Henri Bollinger put the event into sharp focus. \u201cIt was an excellent introduction to social media and how it can be effectively integrated into publicity campaigns,\u201d Bollinger shared. \u201cMany publicists find the topic to be overwhelming. Its importance and relevance as a communication tool in today\u2019s business world makes it imperative that those of us who say we\u2019re not technologically savvy realize that we cannot afford to ignore its existence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bollinger praised conference producer Paddison for articulating the topic in layman terms. \u201cThe program took us through preparation, planning, execution and evaluation,\u201d he continued. \u201cExperts described the best uses of Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, YouTube and Google and more. They all emphasized the professional applications of social media, and made the case that publicists need to invest the time and energy to acquire this knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That time and energy invested will, no doubt, continued to be helped along by Local 600\u2019s Publicity and Publications Committee, which, after delving into the overview provided in the day-long seminar has more such events on the board. First up \u2013 the basics for incorporating social media in publicity campaigns, which will include step-by-step directions designed for the uninitiated.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2513\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2513\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/2013\/01\/Web-Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying-Social-Media.6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2513\" title=\"Web Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying Social Media.6\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/2013\/01\/Web-Exclusive_Feb12_Demystifying-Social-Media.6-590x392.jpg\" width=\"590\" height=\"392\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2513\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">L to R: Stradella Road CEO Gordon Paddison, Stradella Road Director of Social and Digital Public Relations Rachel Blum, Unit Publicist Deborah Wuliger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em><strong>By Pauline Rogers.\u00a0All photos by Bonnie Osborne.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local 600 publicists get \u201clinked in\u201d for a special all-day workshop exploring the best of new virtual online tools<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3455,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-web-exclusive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
