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.

Are You Twittering?
Ouch! I’ve been a fuddy-duddy (Bet you haven’t heard that word in a while). I first heard about Twitter well over a year or so ago and my immediate reaction was, “puleeeze … another texting toy” having nothing to do with salon, spa or beauty pr, and gave it no more thought than that. I […]

All The World’s a PR Stage – Are You Ready?
We’re Guessing, No The previous post asked the “Supermarket Conversation” question :-). That’s enough homework for anyone. But there’s one more exercise that goes with that question before we move ahead and change topics. It’s been our experience in our classes that very few of us are ready to answer the ‘supermarket question’ off the […]

How Do Your Clients See You?
Who You Were, or Who You Are? The fact that you are here means you’re probably thinking about your professional image … perhaps making it a bit stronger … edgier … more competitive. Some might only be seeking to freshen up their image to attract new clients … and excite their existing ones. Of course […]
