Beware the hashtag

….admit it when things go wrong



              “Within an hour, we saw that it wasn’t going as planned. It was
              negative enough that we set about a change of course. With all
             social media campaigns, we include contingency plans should the
             conversation not go as planned. The ability to change midstream
                  helped this small blip from becoming something larger.”
