1.) 5 Rules of Digital Marketing in 2017

With better access and understanding of digital marketing and social media analytics, we hear a lot about using data to drive our communications efforts. While the numbers are telling and important, you can't lose sight of the real drivers: people. Molly Reynolds makes the case here in this story from the Huffington Post.

2.) 6 Tips to Strengthening Your Personal Brand Online

Consistency, clarity, and continuity are just a few of the qualities Anna Jasinski suggests you conquer when strengthening your personal brand online. "Branding is not something we should approach with skepticism. If you don't take control, people will [make their own decisions,"] says Ren LaForme of Poyter in Jasinski's story. Sounds like good old fashioned PR, right? Own it! 

3.) How to Use Content Marketing for a Successful PR Campaign

I've written about the importance of content marketing, and believe in it so much we offer curated content marketing workbooks here on the FACTEUR website. Having a content marketing strategy not just fuels your blog, but also your PR plan, media relations plan, and social media plan. In this PR News story by Erika Taylor Montgomery, she leads with an astonishing stat -- "82% of consumers feel more positive about a company after reading their custom content. By creating effective content regularly, you're leaving the public with a positive impression of the brand" -- before launching into ways to incorporate that content into a PR strategy.
