When Legacy Media is a bit rubbish
Legacy media (everything that's not digital) has a problem with changing things once they've been released.
Digital content tends to best lend itself to works-in-progress and not being entirely correct or closed or 'finished'. "Always in beta".
Legacy media has been about transmitting ideas in a one-way direction - from the creator to the audience.
(Creators might be film directors, an ad agencies, TV broadcasters, magazines etc...)
Bad ads
UK fan is stabbed in Rome.
Probably not the best bit of media buying by British Airways in the Evening Standard...

Some say this is an example of social media gone bad.
What if it's a great example of social media being good and pass-on-able - and a legacy PR line that's probably disconnected from the first thing most people think.
That Waitrose seems a bit pricey and posh.
Who knows best - the PR effort or The Crowd?
The answer probably doesn't matter... so let's ask The Crowd to join in with your PR effort... (PS haven't checked any of the below...)
