Spin Sucks launched in September, 2006 as a way to fight the perception many business leaders have about the PR industry.

Today it is one of the most engaged and educational blogs in the industry.

We’d love for you to be a part of it!

About Spin Sucks

We understand the challenges of competition and how important—and tough—it is for brands to show they are different from their competitors.

There is still a big industry disconnect between integration and its value to PR and marketing. Many organizations want to send news releases and not think about how that might extend to other areas of the business. They miss the huge opportunities to extend their earned media efforts through other marketing and communications avenues.

Spin Sucks teaches thousands of monthly visitors how to integrate PR and marketing, while doing things the right way—with integrity and honesty. 

With nearly 35,000 individual visitors per month, most of whom return to the site again and again, Spin Sucks can offer you access to one of the most engaged audiences in the PR blogosphere today.

More than engaged, this audience consists of decision-makers. These are marketers, communications professionals, entrepreneurs, and others:

  • 86% are communicators or marketers.
  • 48% identify as founders/owners/CEO/Partner in
    their firms.
  • 20% identify as general marketing, social media marketing, or related title.
  • 20% are freelance writers.
  • 6% identified themselves as CCO, COO and other similar titles.
  • 6% held various other titles.

We educate and we inform. We like to provide our readers, our colleagues, and our friends with valuable resources.

More than Opinion: Education

The primary purpose of Spin Sucks is to educate. Through free webinars, two daily blog posts with authoritative guest bloggers, podcasts, videos, and more, the staff of Spin Sucks seeks to provide a vibrant learning experience for any visitor to the blog.

The Crazies

There are a group of people who are active participants on Spin Sucks. Called the Crazies, they account for hundreds of social shares per day and dozens, sometimes hundreds, of comments on posts. Their engaging conversations are a cornerstone of Spin Sucks, and a key component to the learning environment.

Voice

This is no stuffy blog filled with public relations lingo and marketing speak. It is plain-talk. Direct. To the point. And a lot of fun. Between the serious conversations are plenty of good-natured ribbing that keeps readers engaged and returning day after day.

The Accolades

We like to call Spin Sucks the most read public relations blog in the world.

However, that doesn’t come from us. Companies such as Cision, Inky Bee, Business Insider, and others have commented on the reach and the value of Spin Sucks to the marketing community.

We love the accolades and work hard to prove they are well placed.
