What You Need to Know About the Beauty PR Process
In our role as beauty PR specialists, Sharon and I keep an eye on several different worlds: The world of beauty and fashion. The world of esthetics and spas. The world of writers and editors (business, beauty & grooming, lifestyle, etc). The PR universe (buzz and trends in PR). Just as you read your industry […]
What Not to do in Public Places
Where Am I?

Oops. Good thing no one heard that. Or did they? An […]
PR isn’t Just About Media
We often forget that PR strategically impacts every level of our organizations. It’s not only about the consumer or your client, it’s about your staff too.

Ever Have a Swishing Party?
PR ‘old timers’ (sorry about that) as well as ‘newbies’ should always be hunting for ‘newsworthy’ ideas, tips and tricks of the trade. Staying fresh and interesting for the media (and your clients) is not easy. It demands not only rummaging around in your own brain and brainstorming with your staff, but reaching out and […]
