Are You Biding Time – 
Or Positioning For Success?
   

Many companies choose to take shelter during economic storms, riding them out by reducing expenses, cutting staff, and sticking to core markets. They wait for things to turn around before thinking about expansion. According to a recent report from Accenture, that may not be the best approach.

The Value of an Expert    

When is the last time you called your stockbroker for advice on a medical problem?  Surprisingly, many executives make the same type of mistake when they retain consultants on jobs for which they are not qualified.  This seems to be especially true when it comes to public relations.

Beyond Blogs     

In a previous article (see “Pitching Blogs”), we discussed the opportunities inherent in the interactive Web medium.  Taking the interactive approach to the next level, many companies are now finding an active community of participants through their own Web pages.

Worth Quoting

"To Public  Relations practitioners and those who understand their working however, Public Relations is not publicity, propaganda, not just news reports or advertisement.  It is according to Toye Ogunnorin (past PRCAN president) a tonic that rejuvenates the tired body, lubricates the aching company and reactivates the weakened industry.  Simply put in another definition, it is the kind of relations a business/individual has with people, and what  Public Relations can do to try to make them as good as it can."
