The Marketing Book Podcast
Chris Lynch, Chief Marketing Officer at Cision, joins the Content Experience Show to discuss the evolution of earned media in the social media landscape.
Managing a Consistent Voice
One of the most powerful boosts a business can gain is word of mouth, or as it’s referred to in the content world, earned media. As Chris Lynch defines it, earned media is when someone talks about your brand without being paid for it.
Someone talking about your brand just because they want to goes a long way in building trust with your customers. As more and more people gain a voice and influence through the internet and social media, the issue for businesses becomes maintaining a consistent message and voice.
What Chris and his team at Cision have done is create a new position, a Vice President of Earned Media Management. He believes this is the next step in the evolution of earned media and that many more businesses will be following suit in the near future. Maintaining a consistent message for your brand is absolutely crucial, and if your business frequently works with earned media, it may be time to consider if you could benefit from this type of position.
