The next great expression of “brand love”

by Sonali Shetty The ultimate expression of “brand love” is an icon on the Home screen of mobile devices.  Our devices are so personal and ubiquitous, that any apps we download and keep, are an extension of our identity.  True enough that many of our devices are a junkyard for apps – long forgotten and [...]

The #PR gamechanger.

With apologies to my friends in the satellite media tour/video news release world, I’ve been silently waiting for years for the time that technology would catch up and allow just about anyone to “broadcast” news using inexpensive devices and technology. The time has come. Today BBC announced that it’s working on an iPhone/iPad app that [...]

The Daily from the PR perspective

Some quick thoughts on The Daily, News Corp’s new iPad-only newspaper. I love it. Not because the content is great or the design is tremendous, remember people ragged on the first issues of USA Today when it come out. I love it because, it represents the future of what dynamic, interactive, freshly delivered content CAN [...]

So, what’s next? We want to know.

The client conversation was focused on her initial interest in creating a mobile app (iPhone, Droid, etc.) to help promote her organization, what it does, etc.  Using this app would also help her [...]

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 [...]

Thoughts on social media for internal communications

Intro to Foursquare, Yelp and Gowalla to pump up business

Okay, I’ll admit it, I get intrigued easily when a couple of people mention a new restaurant or store and tell me how great it is.  It makes me want to check it out so I can see what all the excitement is about. That’s why I’m very intrigued by the possible business uses (especially [...]
