Entry Rules
106 & Park (the “Program”) will be revamping its Freestyle Friday Competition (the “Competition”). For the first time ever, BET viewers will vote for the Freestyle Friday Champion. To enter the Competition, send an e-mail to audience106@bet.com and include your full name, address, telephone number(s), along with a photograph (featuring you only).
Show Element Breakdown
Every Friday for fifteen (15) weeks, two (2) unsigned rappers will each compete in a single round and have a maximum of one minute & :10 seconds (1:10) to perform their original song. Weekly judges, selected at BET’s sole discretion, will comment on the performances and determine, in their sole discretion, which rapper will advance to one (1) of the fifteen (15) slots in the All Star Bracket. The judges’ decision is final and binding. At the end of the show after each weekly battle, the viewers at home can log on to www.bet.com/106andpark and cast their vote on who they thought should have won. If the loser has more cumulative votes than the winner who was selected by the judges, he/she will be placed in the Wild Card pool and may be selected by BET, in its sole discretion, to come back for a second chance to battle for the Wild Card slot in the All Star Bracket.
Once all sixteen (16) slots of the All Star Bracket are full, we will start the final rounds. In each round of the All Star Bracket, BET will feature a different producer’s beat which will be given ahead of time to both rappers so that they can each create a new original song which they will perform. Winners will advance and losers are eliminated with no chance of returning.

Social Media/People Relations –I think the P in PR is changing from “Public” to “People.” We’ve always targeted publics by pitching media outlets based on the demographics and interests of their readers/viewers/listeners. Thanks to social media tools, we can target people based on their interests. The difference – and it’s a big one – is that now we can have actual conversations with consumers more easily than ever before. That puts the focus on people as individuals instead of simply the larger group they may belong to based on their household income or gender or hobbies.
This year, we’ll see more PR folks wrap their arms around that reality and understand the power of helping brands connect and build relationships with people in ways that are even more compelling and meaningful than a story in a magazine.
Measuring –More publicists will challenge their clients to see the value of measuring more than just impressions and advertising value equivalency. More clients will push their publicists to do the same. Both will begin to understand that having 65,000 people read their online news release is as or more valuable than 15 million impressions that may be buried deep in an online news site or at the back of section F.
I think that more clients will get comfortable with these types of results even though they are seemingly smaller because of the great work being done on the digital advertising side. Marketing clients know the value of a page view and a click-through. Communications departments will begin catching up with that mindset.
The Death of “Viral” – Every client wants its publicist to produce a viral “something or another” as of late. And, of course, some publicists are happy to chase after it. The truth is, though, that you can’t predict – and therefore, create – “viral” campaigns. You can create online campaigns that you hope will go viral. But we know that most do not. As more clients experience the letdown of that and better understand the difficulty of achieving success at it, I think we’ll see more of them get over the “let’s do something viral” knee-jerk reaction and concentrate instead on creating smart integrated campaigns that include compelling digital work.
More Story Opportunities – With the changes going on daily, even hourly in traditional media, it may seem that news coverage opportunities for brands are dwindling. I think that’s the wrong way to look at it. Actually, we’ll have more opportunities for coverage than ever in 2009.
More media outlets are expanding their online presence, which means more opportunities for coverage. Web editors don’t have the same page space limitations as their newsprint counterparts. That doesn’t mean they take any and every pitch and turn them into stories. It means you have a better chance of not having a good story get deleted from the inbox.
Also, more journalists are using social media tools as part of their jobs, which provide more outlets for stories – especially by those who blog. Your story may interest a particular reporter who too, may blog on that very same website. While the story may not make the cut for the print edition, that reporter may still post a blog about it.
PR pros who look beyond traditional media outlets – even beyond general online coverage on a news Web site – will land more stories and help their clients look like superstars
