Resist the Drama and Remain Calm
Don’t get caught up in the sensational side of social media. Resist the temptation to garner interest from sensational content. Never endorse (by liking or sharing) controversial or questionable content. Distance your message from anything or anyone who distorts the facts. Never mislead the public.

And don’t forget to create a compelling call-to-action (CTA). Compelling copy and appealing imagery can move you to act. Get your stakeholders to vote, download a white paper or sign up for your newsletter.
