People Are Talking

When it comes to dis­cus­sions of mod­ern mar­ket­ing, it is not uncom­mon to hear peo­ple, myself included, state some­thing like “peo­ple are out there talk­ing about your brand.” The more I hear this state­ment said, the more I ques­tion its accu­racy.

Today I am address­ing the Day­ton Chap­ter of The Pub­lic Rela­tions Soci­ety of Amer­ica on the topic of blog­ging, pod­cast­ing, video, and other forms of con­tent cre­ation.  With all of the hype sur­round­ing Face­book, Twit­ter, and other social net­works, it is impor­tant to remem­ber the power that these tools can deliver.   I view these […]

Go Learn Something

Edu­ca­tion is a fun­da­men­tal ingre­di­ent in indi­vid­ual, orga­ni­za­tional and soci­etal suc­cess.  In a world fueled by global com­pe­ti­tion, tech­no­log­i­cal inno­va­tion, and high speed com­mu­ni­ca­tion, edu­ca­tion mat­ters now more than ever.  Recently I dis­cov­ered some­thing called The Khan Acad­emy, an amaz­ing online resource for edu­ca­tion. The site is free and fea­tures instruc­tional videos and inter­ac­tive exer­cises on […]
