Originally posted on PRWeek.com. This is the first in a series of three posts that will discuss what I see as a PR émigré managing in a world where evolution meets revolution. You’ve heard it said that the future is now. That’s much closer to the truth than it was even a half-decade … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment July 16, 2012, 9:01 am
Originally posted on @erwwpr’s flagship blog. This is the first in a series of 10 posts about different aspects of CEO branding. “If Acme Widgets Corporation were a person, what sort of person would it be?

Originally posted on Fuel the Future. It’s hard not to feel stressed, and all the time. For starters, there’s global weirding and the many unknowns (and knowns!) of the economy. As PR people, life moves so fast because of how quickly media is changing; what exactly is news today, and how can we possibly keep a … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment December 10, 2010, 5:00 pm
This is the tenth 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.

This is the third 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. There’s a loss-of-faith crisis, and it’s as movement-ready as the one that led Jerry Rubin to pen the Yippie manifesto in 1968. That … [continue reading... ] Comments: 3 comments August 22, 2010, 11:59 pm
Originally posted on the Huffington Post. When Wyclef Jean hired my agency about six months ago, I knew that our mission would be to help him pursue his mission: tirelessly working toward Haiti’s recovery. I and my team were to take care of the details so Wyclef could look to the bigger picture—that of making … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment February 16, 2010, 9:15 pm
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. President Obama’s latest poll numbers may be decent—a New York Times/CBS News poll found that he has higher approval ratings than the GOP, and that more Americans blame Congress, George W. Bush and Wall Street for our problems than they do him—but we hoped for better than decent from this … [continue reading... ] Comments: Leave a comment February 8, 2010, 12:35 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 |
