EARNED MEDIA
• In today’s communications landscape, Paid (advertising), Earned (PR) and Owned (branded) Media are converging like never before.
• Of these media types, which is the most valuable? • Not "the most expensive." The most valuable.
• If what you value most as a brand is the trust of humans (which in turn leads to increased sales), then the answer is obvious:
• Earned Media is the most effective influencer of consumer trust.
How Do We Defi ne Earned Media?
• Earned Media is simply:
• “What other people say about us”
• In print and online mainstream media… In blogs… On Twitter, Facebook, etc.
• 3rd party, unbiased, “credentialed” or “amateur”– The distinction between “professional” media and
consumers and/or bloggers is primarily about audience size – not about whether the content is “earned media”

Tacti cal Ideas to Get Ya Goin’
• Paid Promotion– Sponsored Stories leading
back to Earned Media (MSM, Blogs)
– Promoted Tweets featuring kudos from influencers & consumers, or, linked to coverage
– Content Syndication to feature MSM content on premium news/lifestyle sites
– SEM campaigns linked to coverage
• Owned Media– Tout Earned Media on
Facebook Page – but try to engage on the content vs. simply broadcasting
– You can tweet it more than once; be judicious & human; A/B test tweets
– Consider email campaign featuring Earned Media kudos to your opt-in list; validate customers’ choice
– Social Media Newsroom to facilitate social sharing
