What to do during a PR crisis and how to move on

Onclusive

Before, during and after a PR crisis, information and communication are key. There are very few crisis situations where less communication is better. It is almost always the case that more communication, and more well-informed communication, is the best strategy. That’s why media monitoring, sentiment analysis and competitive intelligence gathering are your best friends in a time of crisis.

You’re out of your Bleeping PR Head – or Should be

Flack's Revenge

Working in PR seems the reverse of the old quote: “I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.” Groucho Marx. The club, or field of PR, can disdain those who want to join; particularly people so entrenched that they lack little “real world” experience. For example I started interviewing for PR gigs in my late thirties, after taking a circuitous route through various sales, marketing and IT consulting roles.

Priorities of B2B Marketing: Owned, Shared, Earned, Paid – in that Order

Sword and the Script

If the PESO model had a drawback, I think it’s the order of things. I know, I know, it’s got a circular shape in there that’s suggestive of integration, but I’ve never been able to get past the order of the words: paid, earned, shared, owned. The order of words is exactly backward. And it’s not instructive for setting priorities in marketing. To that end, and assuming there’s a business strategy and marketing strategy in place, those priorities should be as follows: Owned – website, blog, newsle
