Fran Drescher: Social media is the new PR

Conferences

I was looking at your instagram the other day, and you posted this photo of yourself wearing this, like, very colourful vest that you were in the first season, and nanny, and it was um making me think about all the gifts I've seen of you from the show online, and you're obviously it's like a very big presence on the internet, and, you know, it made me wonder, like, are you personally interested in social media and like internet culture, is that, you know, there certainly using your image, and I'm just interested like, in how you you think about engaging online, I totally leverage it. I mean, this wasn't available when we were doing the nanny in the nineties, nor was social media even, you know, a thing, but now it most certainly is, and uh, you know, I feel like, um it's important that I always stay very current because I, you know, when I have things to promote and I keep working and I'm pretty active in my career, then I'm able to also slip in my messaging about the platforms that I'm most passionate about, namely, you know, health, um civil liberties, arts and education, ecology, things like that. So it behooves me to keep, you know, a big wide audience all around the world and keep satisfying that appetite. So just the other day, I'm actually learning how to play margin and uh, we're playing to to his team because we're all busy people and it's likely that one of us will have to drop out from one margin monday to another. So my teammate is Rosie O donnell and uh, we won, we won this past monday and we just slipped out and somebody was videotaping us During the game. So I posted it and uh, do my executive director of cancer Francis said that it's over 100,000 already and I just posted it yesterday. So, you know, that's meaningful and it's, you know, it helps my brand, it helps. I'm a, you know, a corporate, uh, you know gal, and I support the uh businesses that hire me. So, you know, it's a, it's kind of a new pr because I've always been a big believer in the marriage between the press and the talent, It's powerful when it's working in the right way and uh, working through social media as a talent and also being able to slip in some positive messaging while you're at it for me is just really key. And so I'm very, very hands on with my social media. I'm usually doing it myself.
