What will a Spanish-language Pope, a man in his 70s, do for the cohort with which he is associated? Embedded in his early brand actions are some interesting moves: paying his own hotel bill, reaffirming conscious consumerism, and now embarking on a journey to redefine one of the world’s great institutions as a peacemaker and [...]

Our CEO, Marian Salzman, said it best on Facebook a few days ago while trapped in her Connecticut home without electricity or water for her bathroom, and with the fire department on her property because of sparks from live wires: “On a morning like this, Saks trying to sell me Jimmy Choos and LivingSocial offering [...]

Fewer of us are using the telephone for the purpose for which it was created: talking. A new term, “telephobia,” has been coined; voice calls are down 12 percent since 2009, and a growing number of us consider voice mail antiquated and/or bothersome. Leading us to wonder: How many among us feel fear or anxiety [...]

At the beginning of my first long weekend at @erwwpr, I decided I would take the weekend off from social media, email and pretty much everything outside of actual human contact. Nothing against social media, but as it becomes an increasingly important part of my job, I like to maintain a balance between the real [...]

[Originally posted in the Danbury (Conn.) News-Times.] Very near to Danbury there lived a true American war hero. His name was Rob J.

3. Samantha Jones is completely unrealistic. Other than the obvious reasons that this is true, Samantha (the PR executive on “Sex and the City” played by Kim Cattrall, for those of you out there who didn’t follow the show), from a public relations perspective, could not have done all her work alone. No one at [...]

With almost 9 million followers on Twitter at last count, Justin Bieber has quite the commanding social media presence. But, as the mantra goes, with great power comes great responsibility—a concept that Justin, or maybe his PR team, seems to know well. Using his power for good on his 17th birthday, Justin sent out a [...]

The women in black at table 18 had a great time last night at the PRWeek Awards. You would think that torrential downpours and a lackluster Oscars show last month would have tempered our excitement for an awards show dinner.

Between the launch of her first novel, A Shore Thing, and the premiere of Season Three of MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” it seems that everywhere you turn, you see Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi.

Who said you can’t use your journalism experience in the field of PR?

It’s going on one month since the start of my internship, and already I’ve learned so much. I haven’t been seeing too much of my soul mate, Cision Point, because I’ve been too busy helping with SMTs, RMTs, OMTs…O-M-G! I’m learning the ins of working for an external agency, several of which allow room for [...]
