Now that I have finished basking in the accomplishment of successfully setting up my own blog and twitter account, I am left with a nagging feeling of overexposure. This may have something to do with an incident that happened to a colleague of mine a few years ago, before she worked out how to apply the full privacy settings in facebook! :-)
Following a promising business pitch, our potential new clients decided to do some research of their own. They googled the name of the PR agency and the proposed account director (my colleague). Unfortunately a picture of her wearing her beach attire was not what they expected to see, this was made worse by the fact that the clients represented a very conservative Islamic bank, needless to to say we did not win the business. My colleague then spent hours trying to work out how to remove the photo, including contacting google, unfortunately all to no avail.
So please be warned ..... be careful what you post on the internet, it can damage to your career!
Happy blogging.
Katherine
