A great and strong character like yours had to have influences from somewhere. If not from your Dad, then where? I'd always imagined you to have followed in your Dad's footsteps, as many do. What did your Dad do for a living? P.S.- have always enjoyed your blogs:) Dick,

I've been researching PFP and like what you've had to say. Naturally the traditional PR agency types will feel threatened. I like the PFP approach- just need to find the right partner. -Jamie Thanks for your post. I’ve been researching PFP and like what you’ve had to say.

Surely a rose by any other name can smell as sweet?

The "unwashed masses"that you refer to, deserve intelligent discourse as much as those in your "high towers." Adam, I care little about the “cant of the profession” or jargon (which I dislike in any profession) but even an amateur level discussion as you call it, cannot dispense wisdom coming from an illogical base of termonology and therefore is without merit.

The piece is found on a social marketing site. Thus I think the author wrote wisely by eschewing the traditional jargon in order to reach the wider, non-expert audience that they were inevitably going to reach. Given that intent and context, I should hope you have it in you to allow this sort of amateur-level discussion to continue, as it cannot hurt to come down from our high towers every now and then to dispense a little wisdom to the unwashed masses.

The first thing this author should learn is the correct use of the terminology before he pretends to offer advice or solicit a response to a survey on the subject. The discussion topic itself...advertising vs. public relations...is a valid and important one for sure. But it deserves to be presented by an author that has a basic knowledge of the subject matter.

That little write-up was mostly about giving the learned advice of the author about strategies for pursuing effective PR and/or advertising. Sure, the first paragraph was a little misleading if read quickly, but seems that if you'd paid closer attention to the rest of the article after you let your hackles get prematurely agitated, you'd have seen that it has little to do with the issues you accuse it of...
