By Gini Dietrich The best Christmas gift I could receive (well, other than a Cervelo) is being told I no longer have to turn off my phone or iPad during takeoff and landing on the plane. Merry Christmas early to me! So, while we were preparing for takeoff yesterday, I was scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed and came across an interesting article on Samantha Collier’s page.

By Clay Morgan I came out of publishing and tend to be a bit bullish on print in general, and newspapers in particular. These days, it is easy to ignore newspapers, and there are plenty of signs that the end is near, except for the fact that those pesky things keep hanging in there. Public relations professionals know this means opportunity by providing newspapers with outstanding [&hellip... Read More

by Jason Konopinski Raise your hand if you’ve taken a crack at writing landing pages. (My hand is raised.) I don’t know about you, but writing persuasive, compelling landing page copy is one of my favorite digital marketing related tasks. It’s part psychology and part wordsmithing. You’re trying to crack the code of what makes a website visitor’s brain tick – and what’s going to drive [&hellip... Read More

By Martin Waxman I always learn a good deal from the reactions/social amplification I get on my Spin Sucks posts. (Thank you for your comments and for sharing.) Last month, I wrote about things the PR world might expect to see in the next 10 years and it spurred a flurry of social activity and conversation in the first day or so and then the interest [&hellip...

By Gini Dietrich I remember the review I had when I was up for a promotion from account supervisor to managing supervisor. I was ready for the promotion, I knew I’d been working in that capacity for a good six months, and I had my business reasons outlined and rehearsed to present to my boss. The review went swimmingly. Everything was perfect until the very last [&hellip... Read More

By Yvette Pistorio I recently came across an infographic about getting past your social media fears, which brought back memories. I remember when I signed up for Twitter. I had heard of it, but didn’t really understand what the point was. So, I became a lurker – I wanted to figure this thing out because everyone was raving about it. Slowly I began to tweet, but diving [&hellip... Read More

By Gini Dietrich In 2001, I made the big move to Chicago (from Kansas City) to work for an advertising agency. My directive? To help build a PR department within the organization. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. All we had to do was go to the agency’s existing clients and offer our services. We generated $6 million and hired 20 people in less [&hellip... Read More

By Gini Dietrich Well, here we are. Another weekend. Another Gin and Topics. I feel like last weekend was just yesterday, but truth be told, I’m glad there is a week in between my sorrow of the Bears losing to the Lions. Again. This weekend we play the Ravens and I will never hear the end of it from Dallas Kincaid if we lose. If you [&hellip... Read More

By Gini Dietrich One of my favorite things to do is teach undergrad and graduate-level classes from the comfort of my own office. No security lines, no planes, no arriving at a hotel too late to eat real food and opting for a granola bar so you don’t die, no…well, you get the point. Just the fun part of working with the students and still being [&hellip... Read More
