When thinking of online communications, it's important to give thought to just how the opportunities of the Internet can be harnessed to leverage your brand.

Social networks and media are rapidly changing the way we communicate about everything – including business. Savvy organisations are now getting on board with social media and/or social marketing, or at the very least realising that they should be.

In saying this, traditional PR strategies don't necessarily work well in the digital space. The 'blast your message everywhere until someone listens' routine actually serves to deter your online users, especially when you are using social media platforms to get the word out.

We take a different approach - our digital communications specialists make sure your online PR activities are tailored to suit the way the digital realm works.

McClusky & Co provide the following online PR services:

• Media releases: creating and distributing via online services
• Online brand management: ensuring key messages are consistent and easily found by your customers
• Crisis management: engaging in conversations with online communities to address issues and minimise damage to your brand
• Social media: strategies, training, monitoring, campaigns and content seeding
• Website content assessment: auditing and recommending areas for improvement
• Web copywriting: creating content that works in the digital space
• Website SEO assessment and recommendations: ensuring people can find you more easily via search engines
• E-news and online communications: consultation and copywriting.

We can also help to educate you about precisely what social media and marketing are, and provide assistance with forming strategies for user engagement through social media workshops.

Our team works with you to explore what's possible using a methodological approach that will ensure that your existing vision, strategy, communication and marketing plans are all part of an integrated online approach.

The most important thing we can tell you right now is that social media is an engagement. It's about two-way conversations, and requires a regular investment of time and energy. Your online communications with customers are the public and highly accessible voice of your organisation, so if you want to make sure you can engage your audience effectively and enhance your brand image at the same time, contact us.
