Out of the Frying Pan…Into a Communications Pressure Cooker

Posted by Martin Waxman, APR on October 12th 2012  

Martin Waxman will be presenting his Social Media Barometer talk at the PRSA 2012 International Conference on Sunday, Oct. 14, 3–4:15 p.m. .

As the old saying goes, “the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco”.  I guess it goes to show how important weather is to the Bay area. The temperature. Chance of precipitation. Barometric pressure.

So it seems fitting to be at the PRSA 2012 International Conference in San Francisco to offer a forecast from my Social Media Barometer – an examination of some of the recent trends and pressure points happening in the social communications space.

Meet Me in San Francisco: Local Pros Discuss the Bay Area PR Market

Posted by Lesly Simmons on October 9th 2012  

While the San Francisco Bay Area is an international and influential technology epicenter, the region’s unique business ecosystem also includes leading financial institutions, nonprofit organizations, health care firms and insurance giants. Innumerable PR professionals work to advance awareness of these organizations within their local communities and across the globe.

San Francisco and the Silicon Valley are also home to active and thriving PRSA Chapters, creating the opportunity to tap into the aggregated expertise of hundreds of members across all areas of public relations.

In anticipation of the PRSA 2012 International Conference in San Francisco on Oct. 13-16, Tactics spoke with PR leaders throughout the region to gain more insight into the local PR market.

Why Be Creative? Interesting Copy Helps Readers Learn

Posted by Ann Wylie on October 8th 2012  

Join Ann Wylie at PRSA 2012 International Conference in San Francisco on Monday, Oct. 15, for her breakout session, “Make Your Copy More Creative: Paint Pictures in Your Readers’ Minds.” You’ll learn how to bring your ideas to life through storytelling, metaphor and wordplay.

My husband likes to quote “anonymous”:

“If a man speaks in the forest, and no woman is there to hear him, is he still wrong?”

For communicators, the question is a little different. David Murray, editor of ContentWise, says:

“If nobody hears your strategic messaging, does it make a sound?”

The biggest risk in communications is not that we might offend someone or write something that’s eye-rollingly goofy. The biggest risk communicators face is that we never get heard at all.

One way to increase your chances of getting heard: Make Your Copy More Creative. Creative copy communicates more clearly, builds reader loyalty, creates a “buzz” for your topic — even enhances credibility.
