Will digital platforms learn in their old age?

In the past week, I’ve done four speaking engagements, some with my colleagues at THP.  Included in the audiences were students, journalists, PR professionals, small business owners, folks from non-profits, consultants from all walks of life.  A pretty good mix of people. Some of the focus was on journalism and public relations but in all [...]

Our #PRSARVA presentation

Thanks again from both me and Sonali Shetty for our warm welcome at PRSA Richmond. We had a great time presenting our thoughts on the social media and digital landscape. For those who missed it, here’s our Hodges Digital Strategies slide presentation… The highlights of our POV include: PR is “winning” the social media battle [...]

So, what’s next? We want to know.

It has been widely reported that tomorrow is the day that Facebook will officially announce that it will be getting into the geo-location business as well. This has been teased for months but the hope is further specific details will [...]

The PR social media crystal ball

First off, thanks again to the PRSA for asking me to present to their Thursday breakfast meeting.  It was a great group of familiar and new faces and hopefully what I talked about was helpful. For those who couldn’t attend, I thought I’d recap here.  I will also share my presentation though Slideshare, just click [...]

The story of #bubbleswarm: Badges? We don’t need…

Foursquare, we don’t need no stinkin’ badges.    Actually we do.  Really.  Want them.  But I digress.  The story begins earlier this week on Twitter as Matt Lake of Wine and Beer Westpark (@wbwestpark on Twitter) in Richmond’s fashionable West End, his wife Caroline (who works with me: full disclosure) and others were volleying back and forth [...]
