- Senior HR manager Sebastien Pierre sat down with Inspiration Lane to discuss current hiring and orientation practices. Before Sebastien joined H&S, there was no formal screening process for employees. Once hired, new employees had no formal orientation program, save for macro-level orientation and a webinar from Ketchum. H&S pairs new hires with experienced employees for one on one sessions, but the duration and extent of this relationship is not established or enforced.Current employees have close working relationships with each other as professional collaboration is commonplace. Despite their time together, company culture is not formally fostered by Harrison & Shriftman, save for employee birthdays and culture committees that meet intermittently.

- THE WEBSITE : H&S currently has a website that is unrepresentative of its new branding strategy. STUDIO HS BLOG: Studio HS, a subdivision of H&S currently has its own blog on a separate website. USE OF SOCIAL CHANNELS : H&S currently utilizes Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest and Google+ as social channels, with an opportunity to improve the voice, story and strategy behind them.CASE STUDIES: Case studies exist for H&S, outlining client successes in terms of heightened luxury leverage for brands and the increase in press, but there is an opportunity to professionally present these to clients and others on the digital landscape.
- The goal of H&S’ website is to serve as the main storefront for the H&S brand, providing visitors with a detailed understanding of the brand and its offerings. It also serves to attract prospective employees why seek information upon hearing about the company.The website should be built in a way to increase brand awareness, attract prospective clients and increase the company’s online presence.
- URL Issues : Shows that H&S is a PR agency. The URL is not compatible with the new positioning of H&S as a communication agency. Minimized organic search resultsMissed opportunities to reach target audience.

- Developing an executive blog will be the top way for the company to communicate with its main target audiences.It will be easily accessed by having it promoted on the website as well as a link that will connect the audience to it through the upper right hand corner of the page. Each new blog post will be cross promoted via social media channels to increase the traffic to H&S’ website.In addition to the authorship of H&S’ employees writing for the blog, H&S will invite guest bloggers from Studio HS and Ketchum to write about this agency, their work and their expertise.The Blog PostsEach blog post will have the popular social media buttons for the readers who are interested to share them on their social media profiles.Each blog post will be highlighted on most social media platforms to drive more traffic to H&S’ website and establish and increased readership of the blog.Blog posts can be about:Experiences from events.Case studies and their analysis about them.Other offices located in Los Angeles and Miami and their work.Trends from the public relations industry from the lifestyle and luxury perspective.Brief interviews with current clients and their experiences of H&S’ work.Behind-the-scenes experiences on events and celebrities.Infographics for visual content.Infographics – to increase visual content on twitter, infographics can be used as an enticing way to captivate audiences while showcasing expertise.
- As part of our analysis, we found that there was great opportunity for our client to leverage social media channels as a way to communicate and position themselves as an expert agency in the industry.The lack of a clear voice/tone/ and brand personality, really insipred us to create a meaningful and purposeful social media strategy for H&S. We also wanted to incorporate storytelling within social media to really show a strong representation of H&S across the social sphere; keeping in mind that there are 4 main target audiences that we need to appeal to via these channels.Lack of consistent voice across social media channelsLack of storytelling capabilities and new positioning representation via social mediaExample of current postings
- Audiences: Prospective clients, prospective employees, current clientsStatement of Purpose (How we will use social media to represent the H+S brand)Give examplesChannels that will be used
- MESSAGE- a luxury lens comes in many shapes and sizes , giving brands a gateway to luxuryOverall objective of social media campaign is to increase web traffic to the H&S corporate website.
- H&S currently uses Facebook, but not to its full advantage. Content is posted inconsistently, is not representative of the new positioning for the brand, and lacks a true voice and personality. Improvements neededIn addition to creating the Facebook page for H&S to be more compelling aesthetically, the page should also focus on community and engagement. All content posted to Facebook will utilize bitly links to allow for effective tracking.Photos should be placed into purposeful and meaningful albums and posts when applicable.H&S will post content reflecting its newly acquired expertise positioning as well as enforcing a community among current employees. Videos from YouTube should also be featured on Facebook to allow for rich media to make the site more engaging. Other types of content such as polls will be placed on Facebook to directly increase engagement of the site..-Facebook will primarily be used as a vehicle to promote community with current employees, and attract prospective employees. H&S should mirror MKG’s Facebook marketing strategy to build a camaraderie among employees that work there currently, thereby piquing the interest of others who might be interested in working at H&S.
- H&S currently utilizes twitter to highlight client successes and stories. Hashtags are overused and can create the message of each tweet to be confusing. Content is posted inconsistently.While Twitter can be used to engage employees, the main focus of this channel should be to cultivate press and gain the attention of current and prospective clients. Twitter provides a channel for quick hit messages that are short, attention grabbing and pithy. All tweets should contain an image (when applicable) and a link to a digital asset by using bitly. Occasionally, tweets should also focus on promoting work done for certain clients as well as cross promotion of blog postings, videos, etc. In addition, H&S should link to content that is non-H&S authored, by using sites dedicated for sourcing content such as alltop.com. By sharing relevant articles pertaining to the PR/Communications industry that is not written directly by H&S, the company will be seen as a thought leader. Improvements neededIn addition to making the corporate H&S twitter page more aesthetically pleasing and on-brand, the bio section should be updated and the page should be verified as an authentic twitter account. The logo used as the profile picture should increase in size as well. Content should not only focus on client successes and client events, but should also encompass promoting digital assets such as blogs, case studies, videos, and other social channels in order to portray a more expert, knowledgeable and credible communications agency.Thought leadership and company wins and successes-Content will also shift to showcase client success stories and press received by clients. Live tweeting during client events should also continue to reach as broad of an audience as possible. H&S MomentsTwitter is a great opportunity to really bring the executive team of H&S to life in the public eye. Because we view Elizabeth Harrison and Lara Shriftman as excellent public figures, occasionally, they will tweet from the corporate handle as they live their lives as successful business women in thriving cities. For example, as they drive from the office to meet with a client, Elizabeth Harrison can tweet “words of wisdom” with the hashtag #EHknowsPRHashtagA hashtag strategy will be implemented to categorize content and to place it within relevant categories. For example, #luxurylens can be used to promote the new positioning and should be placed within blog postings. Other hashtags can be used to categorized content based on the industry featured in the specific posting. Live chatsH&S will host live chats on twitter to discuss webinars live. This is a great way to.
- H&S currently has a LinkedIn corporate page, but it is not utilized.Improvements neededLinkedIn should have a corporately branded photo that mirrors others used on social channels, with a flare to make it more compelling and representative of the H&S branding.LinkedIn will also be used to post open positions for job seekers in addition to advertisements that will be targeted towards prospective employees.The “products” section of LinkedIn will also be utilized to highlight H&S service offerings as a communications agency.H&S will also actively seek out relevant industry groups to share authored content in order to increase reach and been seen as a thought leader in the industry. The professional nature of LinkedIn makes it a great platform to showcase thought leadership and expertise in the PR/Communications sector. While cross promotions of digital assets on LinkedIn will prove to be one of the main sources of content, digital managers should not overlook the ability to gain leads for new clients and prospective employees on this platform.
