PR Isn’t Dead; It’s Poised for a Comeback

It’s an innovative way to get noticed above the noise: “The Spike Method.” Spikes are an abrupt rise in awareness and attention. You can either turn a spike into a strategic platform, or you can sit back and get skewered.

With predictive spike scanning, you start to see a wide variety of patterns that emerge for your clients, including trend spikes, national event spikes, topic relevancy spikes and complaint spikes. In this session, you’ll take a look at compelling real-life examples that introduce this approach to help maximize your client’s visibility, “virability” and profitability. You will:

• Learn how to track positive spikes relevant to clients, and capitalize on them.
• Find out how to forecast negative spikes so you can mitigate or minimize them in advance.
• Discover how to manage proactively the spikes that impact your clients, and turn them to their advantage.
