- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - How about managing your own pr?
- It's one thing for a senior manager to approve story angles for the publicity folks to use in shopping around for print and broadcast placements.

And equally sold on the next step too, create, change or reinforce that perception/opinion by reaching, persuading and movi...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Pr: lets talk fundamentals
- How much more fundamental can you get than this? As a business, non-profit or association manager, if you don't get your most important outside audiences on your side, you will fail.To me, failure means key target audiences that don't behave as you want them to. For example, capital donors or specifying sources who look the other way, customers who fail to make repeat purchases, community l...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Hey, mr/ms manager!
