Should PR pros scale back their social media time?
Online tools have helped PR pros do more with less, reach new audiences and engage with far-flung constituents. Yet, when it comes to social media, has it all become too much?

While it might not be entirely realistic for today’s marketer, there are some ways doing less could actually help you produce more content.
The “take a break” comment came first from Dave Cieslewicz, former mayor of my hometown, Madison, Wisconsin. After his stint as mayor, Dave has become a regular blogger in Madison’s weekly newspaper, the Isthmus .
Dave urges his readers to declare dependence. “Take a break from social media,” he said. “You might like it.”
Life is Better
In the article, Dave (and I’m going to refer to him as such because it’s a bear to spell Cieslewicz correctly multiple times in one article) wrote about taking a hiatus in the summer of 2016.
He chose to stop publishing for a month, and take a break from Facebook and Twitter.
