What sucks about PR
This post originally ran on the PR Breakfast Club blog, but I wanted to share it with readers who may have missed it. I am pissed off. The PR industry has recently received one black eye after the other – and you know what? It’s our own damn fault. Yes, I said it. The recent…

This post originally ran on PR Breakfast Club, but I wanted to share with you all as well. Over the past few months, you may have noticed that the weather outside has become increasingly colder.
