Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar – with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails, while our Rockstar CMO host Ian Truscott picks his brain on a marketing topic.
This week, we dive back into the obsession marketing commentators seem to have with declaring things as dead. Recently, it seems PR has been getting the “it’s dead” treatment from the cool kids high on social media Kool-Aid, but in an age when networks, human-to-human marketing, and influence are so important, the chaps discuss why PR should be very much alive.
They discuss:
-
Modern PR requires building relationships with influencers, not just journalists.
-
The skills needed for PR have evolved with the rise of social media.
-
Integrating PR into overall marketing is crucial for success.
If this resonates with you or if you have a suggestion for a topic in the bar, please get in touch with us – hello@rockstarcmo.com
Enjoy!
