<p style="margin-left:0;">
<p>Powerful validation from Sir Richard: “The head of PR is perhaps one of the most important people in a company and a good chairman will have them by their side. They are critical for managing the brand and save millions in advertising; people talking about your company is much more important than anything.”</p>

<p style="margin-left:0;">
<p>Brian makes a number of good points here.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1. start thinking about how social media becomes a means toward triggering meaningful activities or outcomes that align with business priorities or objectives and customer expectations.</p>
<p>2. Social media is not the crux of your argument, it is an enabler.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It falls in line with my counsel: it&#8217;s a platform, you must focus on the message and the call to action first; the delivery mechanism comes after.</p>
