How to Cover High Profile Live Events on Social Media

  One of the biggest misconceptions we have observed about covering an intense summit is that live coverage means either posting photos from the venue or a live feed. It isn’t. A three-day risk management conclave or an industry trends report launch can generate hundreds of quotable moments, dozens of headline-worthy statistics, and a handful of lines that could anchor a company’s narrative for the next quarter. Most of it disappears or fizzles out the moment the session ends. Achieving a tangible social media marketing ROI from a high-profile event is a discipline of its own.

Every conglomerate, at a Group level, has a distinct identity—a philosophy, a purpose and a set of values that bind together businesses operating in vastly different sectors. The Group Brand has to speak about its culture, governance, leadership principles, sustainability commitments and long-term purpose. But each business competes in a very different marketplace. A cement company, for example, is competing against other cement companies. A financial servi...
