		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Enough of this nonsense!  Public relations is not and never has been “free advertising.” First and foremost, the term, free advertising, is an oxymoron ironically propagated not only by the non-PR world, but also by ourselves in the profession.  We don’t quickly correct clients’ or acquaintances’ misuse of the term in conversations and in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Never have so many demanded so much for so little.  In my forty-plus years in the public relations profession I have never ever heard a client not say, “I have the greatest story that has never been told.”  That the media is clamoring to tell it if it is simply revealed to them.  And while [...]]]></description>

With my apologizes to Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein… “Clients….say the word and it’s almost like praying….” Ok, ok…so relating clients to the beautiful soliloquy in West Side Story is a stretch; but most of us in the PR business have both prayed for more clients…and also prayed to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read a really good article recently by Jack Neff in AdAge, How Little Brands Land Big Bang for Their Buck, that is worth perusing for two solid points….a story with a strong narrative can build a brand…and this kind of strong narrative is usually easier for the small entrepreneurial start-ups than the corporate behemoths.
