Hootesuite 2

Getting your Hootesuite certification can be a little bit time consuming. You have to watch about 10 hours of videos, and most of them repeat each other. And for active users it can be costly. Hootsuite is good for social media professionals, I don't think that the average social media user would benefit from Hootsuite.

Hootesuite is a great social media tool that has the ability to help people who plan on working in the social media field monitor how they present themselves. It is one of the most popular used forms of monitoring and connecting with other social media professionals.

Crisis Management with Jonathan Bernstein

Jonathan Bernstein's presation was engaging and extremely informational. He told us different ways of how to handle ourselves in servral different situations, mainly through his own personal experience. Bernstein's adive on crisis management was not only focus on a professional setting, but how to control your own emotions when protecting your clients image . The way he spoke about a person who is in the crisis management field having to  be quick on their feet and being able to communiuncate well with people during a crisis showed how important it is for companies to a person who specializes in keeping the company's best interest in the media, so that the doesn't say or do anything damaging I'm assuming tha't why he said that they're the highest paid associates in PR.
