April 18, 2009

[From Drew B's take on tech PR]

PR agencies are behind…

March 18, 2009

From David Henderson: “PR agencies are behind in digital revolution, behind in social media, and not thought-leaders about communications in the online world, today and tomorrow. For most of them, it’s pretty much business as usual, cranking out irrelevant pitches or blasting spam email press releases. It’s not surprising that many savvy organizations are taking [...]

Writing in the Age of Distraction

February 6, 2009

I will have the opportunity of listening to Cory Doctorow tomorrow evening in Milan.
[From Cory Doctorow]
I think I’ve managed to balance things out through a few simple techniques that I’ve been refining for years. I still sometimes feel frazzled and info-whelmed, but that’s rare. Most of the time, I’m on top of my workload and [...]

What all PR people should know about journalists

January 24, 2009

1. Your BS is obvious. Many journalists would describe their roles are professional truth-seekers. In this capacity, they are naturally skeptical and this combination means that their bullsh*t meters are higher than most. So don’t bother with the press releases about hiring your new VP of Sales that no one has ever heard of. Not [...]

Media Relation

November 29, 2007

Questa presentazione non è su SlideShare, ma vale la pena fare un piccolo sforzo per scaricarla e leggerla. Ci sono un paio di slide assolutamente geniali sui lughi comuni e sullo slang dei comunicati stampa hi-tech, e uno scambio di email che non merita commenti…

Buongiorno, lei ha chiesto informazioni…

October 8, 2007

No, non ho chiesto informazioni, ho scaricato un white paper perché avevo il sospetto che parlasse di un argomento di qualche interesse e volevo dargli un’occhiata…
Dopo la sua telefonata, però, ho la certezza che non si tratta di un documento interessante, e soprattutto che la sua azienda non ha la più pallida idea di come [...]

Toshiba sucks

May 22, 2007

The support service changed the motherboard, but forgot IrDA and Bluetooth connections. At the time, I didn’t complain, as [...]

March 6, 2007

Thanks to Stuart Bruce, I’ve reached these sever rules for getting ink in business magazines. Although they have been written by the editor of a UK business magazine, Real Business, I’m pretty sure they’ll work almost everywhere. For sure, they work in Italy, with the exception of rule number six.
