PR is dead — long live social PR
PR is dead. Did you hear me? The career I’ve been in for 18 years — dead. Over. Toast. Done. It’s evolved into something much more powerful and effective. Social PR. I think that PR and social media are not separate anymore — and are in fact the same thing. I’ve seen social media evolve… Continue reading

Is your Facebook fan page a cocktail party, a barbecue, a conference or a drum circle?

Executive social media jobs exploding. (It’s not just for ninjas, gurus and interns anymore.)
2010 was the year of the uber-embarrassing social media blunder: Southwest Airlines threw celebrity Kevin Smith off a plane for being too fat to fly in one seat.
