How Brands Are Newsjacking Stories

Media-jacking enables brands to take advantage of breaking news stories for their own gain, potentially increasing customer engagement while strengthening brand loyalty. When done effectively, media-jacking can significantly strengthen brand engagement while strengthening customer relations.

American tales differ significantly from British ones in that Jack does not depend on magical aid in his fight with an enormous foe; donors generally offer food, weapons or money in support of him as he engages them.

Early Life and Education

As soon as Kate Winslet was trapped in a home fire while staying with Richard Branson, London Fire Brigade immediately newsjacked this story by publishing their own press release — providing increased site traffic, inbound links and media exposure with minimal effort or expense required by them. This effectively created site traffic surges without much cost or effort required from their part.

Google’s Year in Search series is another outstanding example, using trending news stories to craft an impressive brand story that solidifies their place as industry leaders. Newsjacking successfully means providing your own unique take on an existing story while considering what others have written about the same topic before initiating discussion about it yourself.

Achievement and Honors

An interchange of honor and achievement can be confusing as they carry different connotations and implications. Honor refers to recognition for character and actions while achievement refers to reaching one or more goals or tasks. Both words may apply in certain instances – winning a Nobel Prize is both an honor and achievement; newsjacking popular stories (Google Year in Search is an excellent example), allows companies to tell their own brand story while capitalizing on existing news cycles – something both words could entail simultaneously.

Add your personal flair to the story by injecting your unique perspective. Doing this effectively will draw in both site traffic and inbound links – two critical success factors for success!

Personal Life

Newsjacking involves injecting your own angle into an otherwise non-related story. For instance, when Kate Winslet’s home in the British Virgin Islands burned down last year and she saved her mother, London Fire Brigade recognized an opportunity to newsjack the story – quickly amassing site traffic, links, and media attention in just hours!

That is an ideal example of jacking. Another form of jacking occurs when an original romance becomes an unconventional story due to normative social rules regarding romantic conduct between men and women.

Net Worth

Net worth, sometimes known as wealth, measures an individual’s assets minus debts. Assets include investments, retirement accounts, cash deposits, homes and cars with financial value as well as any other possessions with fiscal significance. Liabilities may include credit card debts, mortgage payments or car loans that drain resources.

To calculate net worth, begin by creating a list of all assets that could be sold for cash or turned into a cashier’s check, then subtract all liabilities such as credit card balances, mortgage payments and car loans. Ideally, assets should outweigh liabilities but that may shift over time; to keep on track with your financial goals it is a good idea to create regular net worth statements which give a clear overview of your progress.
