Originally posted on @havaspr’s flagship blog. This is the second in a series of posts about the rebirth of our agency as Havas PR North America. If you were to travel back in time a few decades and take a tour of businesses (which would probably be a waste of your time machine, but bear with … [continue reading... ]  Comments: Leave a comment March 21, 2012, 2:54 pm
Originally posted on the Huffington Post. Now that the recession has retreated just a bit from American shores, we’re being allowed a better look at its aftermath. To be frank, it’s not pretty, especially for millennials and their parents. Many of the latter co-signed on student loans and must cope with the loss … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment December 3, 2010, 5:00 pm
This is the fifth in a series of 12 posts expounding on the 2011 forecasts in the annual trends report from Salzman, president of Euro RSCG Worldwide PR and an internationally respected trendspotter. Watch out in 2011 for the return of skin-thickening boot camps to toughen up kids and employees for the rigors of … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment July 22, 2010, 12:20 am
Originally posted on the Huffington Post. I’ve been posting here about my adventures with a brain tumor in 2007, the ways it has changed me and the importance of brain health for all of us. Talking about brain health is part of what comes with 50 being the new 30: We’re all desperate to be young … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment February 3, 2010, 12:05 pm
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. The opinions of young adults—which today have solidified into values—are not to be ignored. Not only are people in their 20s powerful voices within their communities, but they’re also consumers. These first adults of the millennial generation (roughly, the people born between 1981 and 2000) are bellwethers for a group … [continue reading... ] Comments: 2 comments January 30, 2010, 11:55 am
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. Every generation assumes it has been handed the world’s problems because the one that preceded it didn’t quite master the agenda. In the rebellious 1960s, the baby boomers demonstrated noisily against established powers and ideas. But in the case of today’s energetic and engaged 20-somethings—the Real-Time Generation—I think assuming responsibility … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment January 28, 2010, 11:07 am
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. A few years ago I was publicly fretting over the arrival of millennials—young people in the generation after X—in the workplace. I described how these new adults would bring with them a sense of entitlement, a need for constant praise, a habit of multitasking to the point of distraction and … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment January 3, 2010, 12:11 am
Originally posted on eurorscgpr.com. In my last post I shared The Futurist magazine’s top trend forecasts for 2010 and beyond. Admittedly, some of it seems a little out-there, from brain-to-brain telepathy to extraterrestrial life. But one person’s science fiction is another person’s getting to the future first. The Futurist has a compelling track record—its editors have been … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment December 17, 2009, 12:14 pm
 Originally posted on eurorscgsocial.com. I’ve been talking for years about how we’re all living online. But as Paul Briand, who writes the “Baby Boomer Examiner” column for Examiner.com, points out, we aren’t just living online but also dying online. Let me explain. I’m talking about obituaries, and here’s why: A new study from the Medill School of … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment |
