There are few things that cause quite as much internal groaning in the PR world as the RFP (request for proposal) process. I’ve written previously about how the RFP process should be seen as a hiring process rather than a procurement process, particularly when a company is looking for a partner—a team of people—as opposed to finding the best proposal to produce branded business cards, or a printer/scanner.

From Logan Paul to Toby Young, the week’s anguish proves that it’s a deafening noise that drowns out something more profound and enlightened, ideas and insight. Each incident provoked angst, each instance echoed the diverse passions of the Twitterati; a mutant debate without form or substance. Mere grunts and reflected deliberations of opprobrium.

Barnum, best known for his role as a founding member of Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, understood promotion in a way few did in the 1800s, and was ahead of his time in the way he went about getting people excited about what he had to offer.
