Time to listen. • What are you listening to? • Mentions • Coverage • Traffic (fans / followers / views) • Tonality • Crises

Listening can make a difference. • Response should be via: • The press office team or PR agency • A customer service representative • Your investor relations team or financial agency • You channel programme manager • Human resources • The relevant product or sales team
