May 23, 2012 by Sally Falkow

PR Newswire held a webinar this week to showcase their Earnie award winners and laid out 10 tips on how to score earned media in the digital age.

  1. Find brand ambassadors and partner with them
  2. Use multimedia content to tell stories and start inspirational conversations
  3. Become a master at newsjacking – insert your story into trending conversations and news items
  4. Evoke emotions  to build a stronger connection with your audience – video works well for this
  5. Partner with like-minded people or groups to forward the message
  6. Tap a community that supports you and use them to spread the word to their friends and followers
  7. Use offline events and meetings to create compelling online content
  8. Take chances – be innovative and interesting in your approach and your content
  9. Listen first – do your research.  Tap into relevant conversations and find the topics people are passionate about
  10. Include other people’s content. Share your brand ambassador’s content.  Re-tweet industry thought leaders
