I think that without a doubt social media is changing the landscape for advertisers. Twitter, facebook, blogs, video, etc is a way to speak to consumers and not just at them.

The problem is, all of my clients provide products and/or services that I really believe in and readily consume myself. With the exception of my divorce lawyer client (and, that said, I recommended him to a friend who needed one, and she was very pleased with his work).

But if I didn’t believe in them, I wouldn’t work with them in the first place. I have yet to tweet about my clients, but I do frequently recommend them to friends, and I may or may not mention our business relationship, depending on whether or not I think of it at the time. If a misstep is made, it’s an innocent one.

Great post. I never mind when pros give shout-outs to their client work, I just like knowing that's what they are doing. Your audience deserves to know that it's not that you just happen to LOVE Business X, it's that you managed the event and are proud of the media coverage. .-= Margie´s last blog ..Put away your martyr card, everyone in PR is busy =-.
