January 2013 will be remembered as the most difficult and suckiest month of my life. After I wrote that crisis post two weeks ago, our family suffered a tragic loss. It would appear the universe suddenly realized it had overlooked us when it comes to sad events. And decided to quickly catch up this month […]
The Expanding Role of PR – The Technologist
This is a post I originally wrote as chief content officer for Spin Sucks. Also! I’ll be speaking on this topic at the PRSA Western District Conference in Arizona in April. Will you be there? By now, the conversation around technology and social media should just be a given. But it’s not. Most of us […]
What To Do If Your Brand Gets Slammed
Imagine you’re the founder of a major sporting shoes manufacturer and a national bestselling book has just started a running revolution; one that touts the benefits of running without said expensive running shoes. Not only that, but the book calls your brand out by name and blames you for things like running injuries and deaths […]

Four Things I Learned In Crisis Mode
As I type this, I’m on a 6 am flight from Palm Beach to Syracuse due to an emergency on top of an emergency. And I’ll step out into the frigid air with a suitcase full of skirts and flip slops. The outfit I wore driving to the airport in Spokane will have to do […]

But dealing with the naysayers without backing down from what you stand for can be a trick. A former employer of mine used to survey the crap out of customers. Everywhere you went, surveys were thrust in their […]
Content Marketing is Just Good Marketing
Any fans of “Miracle on 34th Street” out there? Kris Kringle had all these great ideas. Do you remember? He introduced the idea of creating a massive notebook containing products and services available throughout New York City. If a customer came in looking for something Macy’s didn’t carry, the sales associates would be able to direct […]
Wishing You a Happy Holiday Season
Hi. I haven’t forgotten you. I actually had posts scheduled for last Friday, Monday and yesterday. I went back and forth between posting my regular content that was scheduled and writing a reaction to last week’s events (which I did and chose not to publish). And then I decided to stick with what I felt […]
The Jargon-Free Explanation of a Digital Marketing Strategist’s Job
Let me ask you this: If your spouse were in a room full of your potential clients, and you weren’t there, would he/she be able to accurately describe what you do? Not just who you are but what you do? As it turns out, a lot of people don’t know what a digital marketing strategist is […]
