Four months after publishing its 2020 State of Tech Journalism Report, Muckrack dropped its 2021 State of Journalism Report this week.

Get Ready: the AI Transformation is Upon Us

By Charlie Cooper | Digital, Innovation, Silicon Valley, Story + Content, Strategy + Positioning, Uncategorized | 0 comment | 3 March, 2021 | 0

Even before COVID forced us all to spend inordinate amounts of time at home, I was a sucker for quarterly conference calls where publicly-held firms field no-nonsense questions from a collection of impatient Wall Street analysts.

It’s different, of course, when the head coach complains about referees in a post-game press conference. While they may have a legitimate beef about aRead more

Customer References: B2B Tech’s Most Enduring Clusterf***

By David Bailey | Big Valley, Communications, Content Marketing, Marketing, Silicon Valley | 1 comment | 19 September, 2019 | 2

Why Do So Few Break Through? When I started out in tech in the Valley, we were still producing physical clip reports using x-acto knives and Elmer’s paste.
