Since November is all about the “good feels” and being thankful for what we have (in both our personal and professional lives), what better way to celebrate the season than to reflect on all that we’ve accomplished with a few quotes from everyone’s favorite beacon of peace?

You’ve probably noticed that blogs and content pieces rarely read like The New York Times or Wall Street Journal. The difference isn’t always a matter of substance; style is a reason that we are attracted to and continue to engage with content pieces. Cyrus Shepard of Moz wrote a great article describing his experiments with content style : how added “structure” for content pieces increased the length of time readers engage with the content.

A viewer recently asked me whether or not there is a difference between managing an online crisis vs. managing an offline crisis. They wondered if there were additional steps that may need to be taken when managing the former and, if so, what they are. As this is a common question, I thought I’d answer it in this week’s #crisisready video , where I take the opportunity to make a very important statement.

And now for the headline more than a century in the making: “The Cubs Won the World Series” … even if you don’t love baseball, you probably like a hard luck story turned around. And, when it comes to pro sports , is there a better rags to riches story than those “Lovable Cubbies.”. The city of Chicago pretty much took the day off last week to help their beloved Cubs celebrate the first World Series ring in more than a century.
Two years after its initial release, Peter H. Paulsen’s book, From Brick and Mortar to Prosperity, continues to inspire readers around the globe.

For those who work in B2B tech or consumer public relations, the next couple of days may not be spent pitching media stories about software or healthy snacks. It’s our hunch that no matter what the beat, journalists will be sticking to pre-and post-election coverage for a while. The 2016 election has caused angst for just about anyone, from bankers to schoolteachers, but PR people have a particular challenge because we spend so much time trying to get our clients’ stories in the news

While connecting with influencers in your industry is a great way to reach a lot of people quickly, don’t leave out a more obvious — and often more attainable — source to help with your marketing: Brand evangelists. These are your customers who rave about you online. They tell their friends how great their experience was, and they’re not shy about singing your praise on social media and review sites.

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks. You should let the people around you, who mean the most, know that your journey would not be the same if they were not a part of your work or your life.

Maybe the concept began as just another “clever” sight gag. Two aging religious leaders, a priest and an imam are sharing tea time. The guys are clearly friends, and they’re clearly aging. At one point in the commercial both guys pull out their smartphones and go to the Amazon app. They search, they click and they order. Days pass and the priest and the imam receive their packages.

We hear the lament that press releases are dead every so often. It’s true that the old press release, as it was first used more than 100 years ago now, is indeed no longer effective. However, the humble press release, along with everything else PR, has had to adapt and change with the shifting media landscape. MEDIA SOURCE. According to the 2016 Global Trust Barometer search engines (read Google) are the first-used and most trusted media source.

I attended AdTech last week, which featured a great lineup of keynotes and panels and over 100 vendors. It seems like there’s never enough time at big shows to check out everything (Fusion PR is one stop away on the 7 subway line, too close to keep me from work’s orbit). Some of the most interesting things are not in the program – they occur “interstitially”, during networking and conversations in-between sessions.

In a recent post , I suggested leveraging Nielsen’s research in order to create data-driven marketing and communications plans. That’s the front-end work every successful campaign entails, but the data cycle doesn’t end there. Equally as important is analyzing campaign data after it has run its course so that those findings can inform future work i.e., once you’ve garnered media hits, it’s then time to uncover the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of the work.

We’ve used the expression data-driven PR for quite some time now, but haven’t clearly defined it. What does data-driven PR mean? How do you know whether your public relations efforts are data-driven or not? To be data-driven is to make decisions with data first and foremost. Many PR practitioners rely on intuition, experience, or informal qualitative practices to make decisions.

What’s happening out in North Dakota? Well, that seems to depend on who you ask. What isn’t in dispute – possibly the ONLY facts not in dispute – is that an oil company wants to build a pipeline and members of multiple Native American tribes are trying to stop it. Members of the First Nations, whom the media simply dubbed “The Protesters” are arguing that the oil companies are trying to build the pipeline across sacred tribal land.
