Kodak – Think Ink

Posted by Kevin Saghy in October 28th 2008  

*Related to the co-presentation by Roy Edmondson, senior vice president, brand marketing, global account director, Ketchum and Erin Foster, worldwide public relations director, consumer digital group, Eastman Kodak titled Live From New York: Kodak Revolutionizes the Inkjet Industry at the PRSA 2008 International Conference: The Point of Connection.

So how do you enter an industry in which the category leader owns roughly 80 percent of the market share and analysts are openly questioning your chances at success? With a strong message, of course. The “Think Ink” program did just that for Kodak’s entrance into the inkjet printing market.

Keynote Impressions

Posted by Kevin Saghy in October 26th 2008  

PRSA International Conference is officially underway, and what a way to launch the event! The Sacred Heart Choral Ensemble welcomed a full house of PRSA members as they filed in for the opening session. The ensemble’s passion and soul could motivate professionals in any trade—we should all love our jobs that much.

Detroit Mayor Kenneth V. Cockrel Jr., PRSA Chair and CEO Jeff Julin and WDIV reporter Paula Tutman followed with their own inspired speeches. Mayor Cockrel sold the room on Detroit’s progress and amenities, while Paula Tutman provided her accounts with this city’s residents. Both were a great representation of Detroit’s spirit.

With the opening remarks aside, keynote presenter Craig Newmark finally took the stage. He began with a self described “nerd-to-entrepreneur” story—complete with taped glasses and pocket protectors in high school. Ten minutes into his presentation, it was clear that Newmark is a humble man who is in touch with both his strengths and weaknesses (and a little bit of cheesy comedy mixed in). After founding Craig’s list, he soon discovered that management wasn’t his strength. Instead of treating the experience as a defeat, he simply stuck to his strength—customer service. Imagine calling a customer service line and connecting directly to the company’s founder. It’s his strength, and it’s “what feels right”, a theme he’d repeat often in his remarks.
