Millions of people across the world love football. I love football, do you?
The 2014 FIFA World Cup held in Brazil has been one of the electrifying tournaments in the history of football,don't you think?
I am one of the greatest football fans across the world and was very excited to watch countries taking on each other in the football field. Thousands of people including myself and surely you were too, using social media platforms to express how you felt about the tournament and matches played.
You and I used and are still using social media,right? Meaning we are citizen journalists contributing towards the reputation of the FIFA World Cup. Public Relations contributes a lot towards the reputation of the World cup because it somehow builds a strong positive perception about. We must remember that as PR people we hold the most valuable asset in campaigns or organisations.
Many countries were in the Fifa World Cup qualification. I had faith in one or two countries to win the tournament and I'm sure you did too! We relate to football as it brings countries together and experience joy through it.

I'm sure you now get me when I say Public Relations as well as social media play a very significant part in reputation management. What is your take on this World cup video ?
I am not a soccer fan, nor was I part of all the excitement and traffic on twitter and facebook but I must admit that social media was just on fire during the world cup. My news feeds were always full of score updates and people's opinions concerning the games. So I totally agree that social media had a huge impact in the fifa world cup.
ReplyDeleteIts a pity that you are not a soccer fan but I'm glad you saw that social media had a huge impact on the Fifa World Cup.
DeleteYes, you are right Nkosazana, the Fifa world cup 2014 was a must-to-watch thing because of people's updates on social media, even if you are not the fan of soccer, but the way people were talking about it, you were persuaded to go and watch, so ALL THANKS to social media and PR
ReplyDeleteWell said Ms Mangena. Social media did influence people to watch the tournament and a lot of good things were said about it.
DeleteThis was one of the best world cups ever and I do agree with on this one hey social media and public relations contributed so much during 2014 Fifa world cup. I watched the games on my Facebook and twitter, so many people were updating their statuses and it was fun to be part of it. PR and Social media is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteIndeed PR and Social media is the way to go. As we know that the future of PR is digital, we have to keep on being interactive and that was the case during the world cup.
Deleteam also not a soccer fan but every time wen I log in my facebook page and twitter i real felt the buzz it also made me want to watch the games because every one was talking about it.thanks to PR and social media cos it made me realize what i was missing
ReplyDeleteMhmm so Social media influenced you... I like. The World Cup got most of us fascinated and I'm glad you were one of us.
DeleteI did have high hopes that the Netherlands would win, but things didn't go as I wished. I must also highlight that the event was exciting and I must admit that I did more retweeting rather than tweeting. In conclusion, the World Cup did benefit from social media, because its growing rapidly.
ReplyDeleteExactly. Social media plays a very significant role in such tournaments and you will find people glued to their cellphones, tablets etc more than they normally are. Well said.
DeleteWell I am not a soccer fanatic but I can tell you that when football lovers get together to soccer it surely becomes a joyful moment for them and not to mention the 2010 FIFA world cup it was indeed a joyful and a must be remembered time
ReplyDeleteOh yes football brings people together. 2010 World Cup was also a memorable one and to us South Africans it was more memorable because we were hosts.
ReplyDeleteIt was a memorable event, a lot did happen with the scam and staff and I think it was the best world cup. Everything was very beautiful, Brazil was beautiful, the stadiums and the people.
ReplyDeleteWell said! Brazil did a great job in hosting the World Cup. That event will forever be in our sporty memories.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest with you, I never watched any of the games but I heard it was amazing. Radio stations were hosting competitions, South African celebrities taking pictures in Brazil and being part of the excitement. I guess I missed out on the action. But all thanks to you, I have more insight to what was going on.
ReplyDeletethese are great tips for future pr students. well done

DeleteIts a pity you didn't watch... you missed out on some good action but its a good thing that you were informed about it.
