But, thankfully for us, there are measurements you can take to help you prepare.  Lauren Teague, the Digital Strategist at Convince & Convert, re-joins the Social Pros Podcast following a decade hiatus since her last cameo. This time, she lays the groundwork when it comes to real-time content and reveals what it takes to win in a situation where you’re competing against professional journalists and publications who are trying to get the same story out at the same time.  When you go live on social, you’re not just competing against yourself.
