We’ve all been there before as PR professionals. When you’re having one of those days – or even weeks – when you just can’t get a hit in the media. It sucks. And it also can allow self doubt to creep in. I’ve been there more times than I care to share. It sucks, no doubt. But, in my latest installment for Muck Rack, I offer some reasons why you aren’t awful at your job and why you just aren’t having a good day pitching. You can read it here.

I regularly write for the popular PR and media site Muck Rack and I have a lot of fun doing it. I had written an article a while ago for other public relations professionals on three things they should do before they pick up the phone and call a jounrnalist to pitch their story. You may or may not find it informative. It just got picked up by the website PR Daily, and you can read it right here.

Always nice to get a big hit to start the year and that’s what happened with Ashley Madison. An anonymous member was featured in this online video about why she decided to get an account on the cheater’s website and how it affected her life.

I’ve been writing for Muck Rack for almost a year now and I love it. They not only let me vent about various PR-related irritants…they encourage it. For whatever reason, there are a couple of people that like to hear me rant about things that clients, media and/or fellow PR professionals do on a daily basis. Come to think of it, maybe I should be more positive and spend more time reinforcing good behavior. I’ll do that next! But, now is not that time. This time, I’m complaining about annoying email behaviors. Check it out and let me know what […]

It was an exciting CES for Avido. The company just debuted the first-ever fully wireless power bank, the WiBa. Entering the show it had already won a CES 2017 award for innovation.

You can read about it right here.

Yes, I agree with the majority of people that think 2016 was awful and we need to move forward to 2017 as soon as possible. But, I like to look at the positives of 2016. First and foremost I got a daughter. That alone wipes out just about everything else bad that was the year 2016. But, another thing I’m really happy about with our current calendar year is that I started writing for Muck Rack. I get to offer my opinions, thoughts and advice to a very large audience of public relations professionals and media members. I really enjoy […]
