The Ideal Donor, Really?

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:42:00 EDT

We all get solicitations from charities and, I suspect, we give to those most closely aligned with our personal philosophies. And from time-to-time those causes that we feel inclined to support may result from a heart-wrenching story we’ve seen on the news or an affliction that’s come too close to home. With the economic situation being [...]

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 07:45:00 EDT

I have a client with a “twitic.” A customer who, on Twitter, will criticize and say absolutely vulgar things about the company and his dealings with it.

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 10:48:59 EDT

Over the decades I have watched our nation’s shortsightedness vis a vis the railroad industry, which seems today even more dismaying for having gone on for so long.

Buffs …

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 10:53:00 EDT

I grew up in a railroad family – but certainly not a conventional railroad family. Our railroad is the Black River & Western Railroad, a short-line tourist excursion line that runs between Ringoes and Flemington, NJ – and on to Lambertville on rare occasions. As a teenager, my summer and weekend job was tending the concession stands at the station in Ringoes or selling tickets in Flemington and the experience brought me into close contact with a not-so-rare breed of enthusiast: the rail buff.

Working with Graphic Designers

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 21:15:00 EDT

Social Media PR: Pitching Is Like Choosing A Wedding Gown

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 19:30:00 EDT

I think that pitching to the media is a bit like choosing a wedding dress: the possibilities to pitch to seem endless at first, but with careful research and a little guidance from both your client or organization AND the journalists you’re pitching, any PR person worth his or her salt should be able to craft a credible, cogent and convenient pitch that will help in developing both good relationships with writers and editors as well as great stories placed on behalf of clients.

The Myth Behind "Successful" Telecom Audits

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 23:45:00 EDT

Telecom is one of the top 5 expenses in most organizations today and is increasingly a target of cost-cutting efforts. Historical telecom audits provide quick, one-time savings that can be an important part of these efforts - but only a part. Because audits provide only a snapshot-in-time of the telecom network, they fail to provide organizations with the sustained visibility needed to identify trends, make accurate budget forecasts, and solidify long-term ongoing savings.
