f our personal experiences and insider tips gleaned from working for celebrated, industry-leading companies that embraced the art of visual storytelling early on. We’ve been in the trenches producing content from scratch, and we have learned firsthand how to craft visuals into a compelling story. We’ve seen successes, dealt with misses, and even managed a few crises in the process. As a result, it was important to focus on news and takeaways you can actually use. Some of these are big-picture strategies, and some are “in-the-weeds” tactics that will help inform and enhance your day-today content calendar planning. We’ve included the types of visual media at your disposal and platform-specific best practices, as well as powerful case studies on how other companies use visual storytelling to stand out on their social media channels. Throughout the book, we’ve sprinkled in a range of case studies across B2B and B2C industries. We believe that some of the best ideas can be inspired by others and reworked into a unique concept that’s relevant to your company." (Introduction, page 5)

zelner Handlungsfelder wie Medienarbeit, interne Kommunikation und Public Affairs wird ebenso behandelt wie die Besonderheiten von Online-Monitoring, Twitter, Social Networks und Weblogs, Positionierung und Kampagnenführung im Netz, Personalisierung sowie Storytelling. Die Beiträge zeigen, dass es nicht mehr ausreicht, die Online-PR als neuen Baustein in herkömmliche Kommunikationsstrategien einzubauen. Stattdessen ist ein grundlegendes Umdenken notwendig, denn das Zeitalter der Massenmedien geht zu Ende. Wer für professionelle Kommunikation verantwortlich ist, muss den Wandel verstehen, soziale und technologische Rahmenbedingungen adaptieren sowie neue Strategien entwickeln. Jenseits schnelllebiger Moden geht es vor allem darum, geeignete Rahmenbedingungen zu schaffen und die Stärken beziehungsweise Schwächen verschiedener Ansätze zu verstehen. Dies will das wissenschaftlich fundierte und zugleich praxisnahe »Handbuch Online-PR« mit zahlreichen Fallbeispielen leisten." (Verlagsbeschreibung)
