The latest in our series of Q&A sessions features a glittering line-up from the world of PR. Arguably this industry is the best placed to take advantage of the popularity of the blogosphere, social networking sites and multi-player game environments like Second Life.
However, the social power of these environments works both ways. The ability to reach a large audience of like-minded individuals who will happily big-up your brand, also exists for people who want to complain about a companies’ activities or products.
The session will explore how these developments change the PR landscape? Is the press release dead? Is the art of spin dying out in the face of a new honesty demanded by an audience that’s more connected than ever before? How should companies react when they drop a clanger?
