Evins EVP David Harrison Provides Insights for Two Recent Forbes Articles
The first is 16 Precautions For Companies Using Social Media To Handle A PR Crisis in which he shared:
“It is important to remember that the most conversation during a crisis happens on social media, and an attempt to come in and “manage” that conversation will almost always backfire. Instead, we work with our clients to create a holistic communications approach that incorporates social media in a strategic way, rather than giving in to impulse posting or the urge to “set the record straight.” – David Harrison, EVINS
The second is in How To Use A/B Testing And Consumer Insights To Tweak Campaigns where he shares how our agency newsletter helps Evins use insights to tweak our approach:
“Crafting our agency newsletter has been filled with testing to determine the type of content our readers are looking for from a public relations agency and tweaking accordingly. We do this for our clients on a regular basis, but taking the time to do that for our own communications has led us to insights that have allowed us to tailor our communications to best drive interest and engagement.” – David Harrison, EVINS
