TEACHING MOMENTS

2. Be prepared to take advantage of news
moments (or to adjust your messaging in
light of news moments)
3. Respond quickly (to both positive and
negative)
4. Create a movement
5. Have fun!
6. Measure, measure, measure
7. Have a social media staff handbook
8. Have a plan in place to manage an
online crisis so it doesn’t bubble up and
implode
9. Tailor content specifically for each social
media channel as each one has its own
tone, terminology, etc.
10. Learn from failures
