Speech! Speech! 6 Ways You Can Sell It Like A Politician

This is a guest post from Elissa Freeman. The speech is making a comeback. Actually, it never went away. We forget how powerful a collection of words can ignite an electorate, re-ignite dormant political passion and turn the most jaded onlooker into a passionate supporter.

5 reasons to practice old school PR

This is a guest post from Elissa Freeman. Call me old-fashioned, but I’m a traditionalist when it comes to practicing PR.

Unfortunately, uncertainty creates what I call a VOID and my theory is that where there is a VOID, negativity will fill it. In my work with people and organizations, I’ve found that when there is a…

Why Your PR Firm Is Stuck in the 19th Century

This is a guest post from Michael Dolan. The entire public relations industry is in the last spasms of a loud and painful demise. PR is useless in the 21st Century because everyone is their own personal brand and their own personal media. The gatekeepers took a permanent vacation the minute the media world hit…
