There was a recent dustup in the PR and media community recently when the co-founder of HQ Trivia flipped out on a Daily Beast reporter and threatened to fire his popular app’s host if that reporter ran an interview they had just done with them. Yeah, it was a whole thing. You can read more about it and the lessons learned from my latest article on Muck Rack.

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 […]

Who would know more about the business of events and their importance to companies than perhaps the most forward-thinking, white-label ticketing company? Probably not too many. And Business News Daily apparently agrees, as they quoted TicketSocket CEO Mark Miller in their article on corporate events and why they are still very important to organizations.

Avido Power’s new WiBa wireless charging dock was a hit at CES 2017 and it continues to impress. It’s the first fully wireless power bank and was the winner of a CES Innovation Award back in January. Others apparently think it’s pretty cool too. Inc.com just featured in their slideshow of “Gadgets all Procrastinators Need in their Lives.” You can check it out here.

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. It’s pretty neat and we can’t wait for it to be available to the public. We were pretty excited when AndroidHeadlines.com took notice and ran it in their main section. 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 […]
Read moreWhen it comes to global public transportation, there might not be a more knowledgeable entity than the UITP. As the International Association of Public Transportation they are extremely well plugged into the latest trends in urban transport. On Saturday, the Philadelphia Inquirer spoke to regional manager Andrew Bata about the Northeast Corridor. Not only did it run in Saturday’s paper, it was the top story above the fold! I was pretty excited about that! You can read the full story here

Was good to see that Ragan.com liked my Muck Rack article on the behaviors of PR bosses. Yesterday, they picked up the piece and ran it on Ragan.com. Working with Muck Rack has been a great experience. They’ve given me a great platform to express my thoughts, opinions and advice. I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to their site. For my entire portfolio, you can check here.

I had previously written two articles for Muck Rack on what PR bosses should stop doing. I wasn’t trying to slam the boss, I was just trying to offer some helpful reminders of operational strategies that just don’t work. However, if I’m going to write that, it’s only fair that I look at it from the other side of the coin as well. I’ve been on both sides, and I know that certain employee behaviors can be maddening as well. So, Muck Rack recently published my article on three things that PR employees should stop doing. I’ve gotten good receptions […]

I was pretty excited at the chance to contribute to Muck Rack, perhaps that biggest media and public relations website. Back in July, I wrote my first article about phone pitching tips for PR professionals. I guess it did really well, because it made Muck Rack’s top three articles for the month of July. PR Daily also must have thought it did pretty well too, because they recently picked it up and ran it as well. Good stuff, glad it did well!
