]]> Comment on The difference between working in journalism and PR by Lance Concannon http://www.business-blogging.co.uk/2010/08/the-difference-between-working-in-journalism-and-pr/#comment-28 Lance Concannon Thu, 05 Aug 2010 09:56:50 +0000 http://www.business-blogging.co.uk/?p=110#comment-28 I was thinking about this after I posted and it occurred to me that the reason magazines and other creative businesses are able to actually be work is that they shield the people who do the creative stuff from the normal pressures of a commercial business. They have guys who manage budgets and generate revenue, but the people whose job it is to come up with cool ideas are left alone to get on with it largely without interference. They're not herded into a meeting room for an hour and ordered to be creative on the spot, in between doing a ton ordinary day to day office-job type stuff.

It is the duty of any PR angency worth its salt to recognise the business pressures of the agency but still strive to promote an enviorment where creativity is natural and not forced. While brainstorms are an important part of the business which allow us to 'officially' take time out to relax and think, the environment around us should always feel like a creative one.

Brett - I wouldn't expect all of the companies in the FTSE 100 to be on Twitter because it's just not going to be a suitable channel for all of them. But what is surprising is the uncoordinated and disjointed approach taken by some of the brands listed here. Can you imagine any FTSE 100 company being happy for its staff to randomly engage with the offline media without any sort of strategy or policy? Of course not, but that's exactly what's happening in social media. Thanks for the feedback Spikesterb.
