An Open Letter to the PRSSA Students of Ohio University

Dear Students, Thanks for giving me the chance to speek with you and geek out a bit at the PRSSA Social Media Summit.  You are an amazing crowd, and each of you posses the talent to drive change in your careers. Never forget this — YOU are the communicators of tomorrow. That’s important. YOU are responsible for discovering how our industry leverages will apply these new tools. You may even someday think up and build new tools of your own. Be patient … but always be hustling. It will be you who will lead us to the plateau of productivity for all platforms that enable disruptive trends to take hold. As future communicators, PR professionals and content creators, always make sure to be good stewards of the power you wield.  Left in the wrong hands, mass communication can also lead to great sorrow. I hope you will use this deck and the links below it to learn more about these trends and and tools, finding new and exciting applications of the technology. Do this for yourself and your personal brand, your eventual clients and in the communities in which you will someday live. Trust me when I tell you that putting the hours and sweat into staying ahead of the curve will serve you well. Good luck. God speed. And, thank you for you attention. @nateriggs 12 Disruptive Technology Trends Changing Communications If you’d like to see more presentations, visit my SlideShare profile.

A Modern Approach to the Facebook Timeline

I like this idea … a lot. Modern Timeline If you’re like Sarah and I, you love the Wednesday night antics of ABC’s hit series, Modern Family.  Maybe we like it because our family, in a sense, is anything but traditional. At any rate, it’s damn good comedy. When I saw that Modern Family had set up a Facebook page for the show, I couldn’t resist clicking through to see what it’s all about. The first thing I landed on was this update, sharing a customized (and mind you, custom sized) branded image that Facebook junkies everywhere can adorn as their cover photo on the new Facebook Timeline layout. While the consumer-driven verdict is undoubtedly out as to whether or not Timeline is a good move or not, I thought this was a neat approach from ABC to generate awareness for the show by tapping the advocates inside of their fan base. Sure, the 5 million and change fan count is a bit skewed. Always remember that anything popular on television will have a built in social fan base from the get go. What appeals to me most about ABC’s approach is that this cost virtually nothing to produce. Chances are that the folks at ABC have graphic designers on staff to do their bidding. Your Turn Could you make something like this work for your business?  Just how would you pull it off?   nateriggsI advise mid-sized & large organizations on how to adopt and use social media to market through organizational culture and better serve their clients.
