Hi David, I haven't read through all responses, but my VERY FIRST CONCERN is that you define what outcome you want from PR. Clients? Fun? Clips to build more PR? Until I know what you are trying to accomplish with your PR, I wouldn't make any recommendations. Just gave a talk on this through MSBDC last week and would be happy to share my slides. The media is a double-edged sword and should be used wisely. I should know, as I've been part of it for 33 years. You've got a great topic, but you may not be treated kindly by all. best, Amy Zuckerman Hidden-Tech Founder > ** The author of this post was a Good Dobee. > ** You too can help the group > ** Fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. > ** If you did, we all thank you. > > > >Hi, David, > >Just to play a little off the top of my head > >Ghost-busting from Australia to Massachusetts >A Ghostly Connection to Down Under >Why would a ghost-busting expert be coming to >Western Mass...when there's already one here? > >I write press releases for a living--LMK if >you'd like info.
