- The only social media that matters by SocialPros podcast | Guest speaker: Marcy Massura, Senior Strategist and Director of Digital and Consumer Engagement at Henson Consulting Inc.
Quote: “We’re not doing press releases in the same fashion. Press releases live online, and often they’re videos. Now we’ve completely even shifted the medium by which we’re doing the same old-school process. PR is changing, and for the most part, it’s broadening and going much deeper into the communication space”.

- The future of social by Inside PR | Guest speaker: Jason Keath of Social Fresh
Quote: “Businesses listing awareness as one of their top two social media goals for me, is definitely a problem. Social media must connect with existing audience; your customers and strongest leads. Your strongest leads will then become your biggest fans and stakeholders. Then if you have resources you should try and build awareness.”
