 <\/p>\n

Part of the reason the Kardashians appear on our Twitter and Instagram feeds so often is because they post so frequently. Whether they\u2019re uploading selfies, updates about their lives or sharing things that they like, a day doesn\u2019t go by without them posting new content. <\/span><\/p>\n

If we do this for our clients, we can give them the online recognition that so many organizations desire.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Be consistent.<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The \u201dKeeping Up with the Kardashians\u201d stars are never shy to share their opinions and always let their fans know what they\u2019re thinking. They always stay true to their initial attitudes and beliefs. Meaning, they always <\/span>stay true to their brand. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

We can make sure our clients stay true to their mission by being consistent on all platforms. We can do this with our personal brand as well by relating everything we post online to our personal image or mission statement and being consistent in our messaging.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When the Kardashians find themselves in a controversy or in a scandal, they typically take to social media and start dispelling the rumors or telling their side. This instantaneous, reactive tactic always gets people talking about their side of the story. <\/span><\/p>\n

During a crisis our clients must be transparent and honest while also controlling the way the conversation goes.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Know your audience.<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Kardashian family has a well-known reputation of filling their lives with drama \u2014 on and off social media. Though they might be jumping from conflict to conflict, they know exactly how to post updates that will engage their audience and make fans love them even more.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we\u2019re generating content for our clients, we need to focus on what interests our audience as well as what demographic we plan on reaching out to. By knowing these details, you can cater content to get the most reach.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Tell a cohesive story across various platforms.<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Public relations is all about telling a story and that is exactly what the Kardashians do. They add teasers for what is happening on their television show or what event they will be at next. By keeping fans intertwined in their story on multiple platforms, they keep people interested and waiting for more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our clients have a story that can relate to an audience \u2014 a story that will attract more people to their brand. If we can tell their story and relate it to their campaigns, tactics and goals, then we can build a strong personal connection between the client and its audience.<\/span><\/p>\n
