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. It’s actually pretty interesting if you want to take a minute to watch it. You can view it right here.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

As the International Association of Public Transportation they are extremely well plugged into the latest trends in urban transport.

I was pretty excited about that! You can read the full story here
