Then share the same across with your board including your marketing and delivery team. Why? Because if your promise cannot be delivered, better not make yourself more visible. As social media tools will definitely put you out there in the global map. Also clearly understand, you cannot control conversations, but react and respond appropriately.

But make sure you too understand how it is done, at least know what level of control you possess.
