Recently I
received the assignment of selecting my favorite book of the semester from my
course Social Media Principles at Ohio Northern University. I have to admit
this was a challenging task at first. I felt all three books: “Mesure What
Matters”, “Real-Time Marketing and PR”, and “Share This” were beneficial and
gained much PR and Marketing knowledge.
After thinking about which book I truly took the most from I came to the
conclusion “Share This” was my favorite overall.
This book provides outstanding practical guidance from
some of our industry’s most distinguished practitioners. Social media presents
significant opportunities to the PR industry, and understanding and embracing
these is critical to business success. I felt the book challenged me and expanded
the horizons of PR and marketing in today’s digital age by providing excellent
insight into how to succeed in the industry.
I would recommend this book to any PR professional or
student who is looking to gain a better understanding of the industry and all
things social media.
