How to engage the C-suite about social media with authority and confidence

October 16, 2017 by Neville Hobson 

"Social media takes time to build," said one of the participants in the webinar on social media and the C-suite that I co-presented for the Society for New Communications Research (SNCR) of The Conference Board earlier this month.

It's equally true that one of the biggest obstacles to using social … [Read more...] about How to engage the C-suite about social media with authority and confidence

The end of AVE in PR?

May 22, 2017 by Neville Hobson 

If there's one phrase guaranteed to generate debate in the PR business, it's 'advertising value equivalence,' AVE for short. In simple terms, AVE looks at the volume of space an editorial article takes in a print publication, or the amount of time an editorial audio or video segment plays, and equates its value to the price you'd have paid if you had bought the equivalent-size space or time as advertising.
