The media landscape is evolving at a relentless pace — shrinking newsrooms, shifting algorithms and emerging content platforms make it impossible to rely on a single strategy. Brands that don’t adapt risk losing relevance and visibility. In her recent byline with Ragan Communications and PR Daily, our president, Heather Whaling, highlighted the three audits that every brand and communicator should know. - Social Media Audit:?Are you on the right platforms? Is your content driving meaningful engagement? - Competitive Earned Media Audit:?Where does your media presence stand compared to competitors? - Strategic Communication Audit: Is your media mix delivering maximum ROI? These aren't about fixing what's broken but optimizing what's working to refine messaging and maximize impact.

Your audience has moved. Have you? Too often, brands pour time, money, and resources into social media—only to see engagement drop, reach decline, and conversations happen elsewhere. The problem isn’t always the content. Sometimes, it’s the platform. As I shared with Ragan Communications and PR Daily, a social media audit helps answer key questions: 1) Are we investing in the right platforms? (Where is your audience actually active?) 2) What type of content resonates most? (Video, infographics, thought leadership?) 3) How are people engaging with us? (Likes don’t tell the whole story—what’s the sentiment behind interactions?) 4) Are we measuring up to competitors? (Who’s leading the conversation in your space?) ?? Case Study: A consumer goods brand we worked with saw a major drop in organic engagement on Instagram. After a social media audit, we discovered their audience had migrated to LinkedIn and niche online communities. By shifting resources, they increased engagement by 40% in just three months. The lesson? Social media isn’t “set it and forget it.” Platforms evolve, algorithms shift, and audience behaviors change. Regular audits keep you ahead of the curve. If you’re unsure whether your social media strategy is working as hard as it should, let’s chat.
