Tuesday Toolbox: Social Relations

Posted on 07. May, 2013 by

In the past few years publicists jobs have changed dramatically. No longer could you rely on just your rolodex and writing to get your job done. Good publicists had to learn what “new media” was, where it was going and how to use it all for their clients best interests.

My night of being [sorta] homeless.

Posted on 29. Mar, 2013 by

I did something WAY out of my comfort zone last night: I slept outside on a portion of a cardboard box, dressed in my ski gear and a light weight sleeping bag.
