Sam Lawrence wünscht sich das seine PR Agentur über die Zusammenarbeit bloggt. Aber die weigert sich. Brian Solis setzt sich mit diesem Thema ausführlich auseinander. PR 2.0:
The questions for Jive’s agency to ask are, “Will blogging about this or other relationships benefit existing or potential clients? Will we establish thought leadership or give away our ideas. Are we capable of writing authentically and not like most PR people? Will this blog hurt or help relationships with media, analysts and bloggers?”
The process of thinking about this will yield invaluable insight, which can only help companies create a relevant and specific roadmap to define content, readers, format, and approach. I guess I should say, that this process is an absolute must before any company decides to blog, otherwise they’re just blogging to blog (blah blah blah blah) - and that’s never a good idea in the world of real business.

Es gibt smarte Leute bei Avenua A | Razorfisch, der Mutteragentur von Neue Digitale. Z.B. David Deal, Marketing Director in Superhype » Blog Archive » Boy, did I screw up:
At a time when Forrester Research urges agencies to become more connected with consumers, marketing executives need to think like this: “Blog as much as you can to stay connected to the world around you. In all things, strive for balance. Don’t let your other work responsibilities interfere with your blogging, and don’t let blogging interfere with your other work responsibilities.”
Forrester’s new report, “The Connected Agency,” urges agencies to become active participants in consumer communities, not just observers. Employee blogging isn’t the answer to being a connected agency, but it’s an important part of having a real dialogue with your community, which leads to stronger consumer insight.
Ich kann die Aussage nur unterstützen. Mal sehen, wann die Erkenntnis bei der Tochteragentur ankommt…
