Book Review: Engage! by @BrianSolis

I just finished the book Engage! by Brian Solis.  I’ve had the book for a couple of months and it’s not a book that you should just breeze through quickly.  I mean this in the best possible way.  This book deserves time and attention.  Now, I have to disclose that I am a big fan [...]

Can You Tell Who Tries to Own Social Media?

In the past, you may have heard me say,”No one owns social media.”  However, that doesn’t mean that different departments in your company aren’t trying to own it.  Actions always speak louder than words. I remember reading a post a year ago by Jeremiah Owyang that I thought was excellent.  He outlined five ways that [...]

Competitors on Twitter: Evaluate With Your Eyes Wide Open

If you’ve done your listening exercises (monitoring the social landscape through keyword searches) you may have discovered your competition is on Twitter. As a part of your own social media strategy and planning audit, it’s important to evaluate what your competition is doing, how they are connecting with influencers and how quickly they’re advancing on this network.

#PRStudChat One Year Anniversary Announcement

It feels like yesterday when Angela Hernandez (@angelahernandez) asked me to contribute to her blog interview series, “Is PR Right for Me.” What blossomed out of a blog post is our dynamic PR community, #PRStudChat.

Guest Post: A Young PR Pro’s First Real Conference

On June 11, I had the best post college experience that I could ask for and attended PRSA’s T3PR Conference in New York City. Having been a PRSSA member that attended a conference this past February, I was completely blown away from what I experienced. Between my moving back home, I unfortunately missed the pre-chat [...]

Scribnia for Discovering and Rating Bloggers

I met David Spinks (@davidspinks) in May at the PRSA Digital Impact Conference in New York City. I felt like I already knew David just through our interactions on Twitter. After meeting him IRL and learning about his company, Scribnia, I thought it would be interesting to have a Q&A with him to find out more about an organization that helps PR professionals find and rate bloggers.

The Q&A Post Event

It was a wonderful trip to Washington, DC.  A trip I will never forget thanks to my friends at the PRSA CHE Summit and Shonali Burke (@shonali) for putting together the IABC Tweetup at Ceiba.  I even got in a little sightseeing, which for me, when I travel rarely happens.
Another favorite part of my trip [...]

The Meaning Behind #PRStudChat Word Cloud

I thought that the 3/17 #PRStudChat with special guest @bethharte was one of the best chat sessions we’ve ever had. I walked away thinking that the conversations could have continued for at least another few hours.
