Times Are Changing and the PR Industry Needs to Change Too

By Josh Swarz | Big Valley, Communications, Media + Influencers | 0 comment | 16 December, 2020 | 2

Long after we close the books on 2020, the impact of COVID-19 will remain – not only for the lives lost to the pandemic but also for the truly seismic changes it forced in the way we work. And while every industry was forced to undergo sharp, sometimes painful transformations in the last 12 months,Read more

Does Your Interviewer Have Even the Slightest Clue?

By Charlie Cooper | Big Valley, Communications, Media + Influencers, Story + Content | 0 comment | 11 November, 2020 | 0

Technology is a fascinating, changing story but it’s not always easy to understand. That’s something to keep front-of-mind before sitting down with a reporter. The other thing to remember is that many – maybe most? – of the tech writers you’re going to meet aren’t tech experts. That doesn’t mean they can’t grasp the nuancesRead more

Welcome to the September 2020 edition of Top Conversations in Tech, where we break down which topics are leading, rising and falling each month to help technology marketers maximize relevance and adapt to changing market dynamics. In this month’s analysis, we focus on variations in news and blog citation volumes month-over-month (versus August 2020) and year-over-year (versus September 2019).  In the top 10, we saw modest shifts month to month with no changesRead more

A feature is not a product is not a company

By Tim Marklein | Communications, Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Marketing, Strategy + Positioning | 0 comment | 22 October, 2020 | 0

Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman announced to the world yesterday what many of us suspected all along: Quibi is one of the most expensive flops in the history of tech. Kinda like Ishtar, but the streaming tech version. What made the flop so spectacular was the investment behind it: $1.75 billion. (That’s the money they raised, not theRead more

This Election Will Dominate Media Like No Other. What’s a B2B Comms Pro to Do?

By Dave Reddy | Communications | 0 comment | 7 October, 2020 | 1

Every presidential election subsumes a massive percentage of the news hole. But like everything else about 2020, this one’s going to be an absolute cluster. COVID. Trump. RBG. Taxes. Protests. The Melania Tapes. And there’s more to come, no doubt. And covering it all is a media so bifurcated that CNN’s opinion desk is consideredRead more

Covering COVID-19: A Broadcast Perspective

By Josh Swarz | Communications, Media + Influencers | 0 comment | 9 September, 2020 | 0

2020 has been quite the year for news: COVID-19, mass unemployment, social justice protests in the streets, a wildly fluctuating stock market – and then we have the upcoming elections. All this has forced an increasingly stretched media to become even more selective about what it covers. In my last blog post, I spoke withRead more

The emergence of the novel coronavirus in late 2019 marked the beginning of a massive social, business and economic upheaval. By March 2020, entire industries were shutting down.

The Impact of 24/7 ‘Breaking News’ on U.S. Media

By Josh Swarz | Communications, Influencer Marketing, Media + Influencers, Strategy | 0 comment | 4 June, 2020 | 0

In recent years, a financially strapped media industry has been tasked with the impossible job of doing more with less. This could not be any clearer than it is now.
