By Inga Starrett | Communications, Marketing, Media + Influencers, Research + Analytics, Story + Content, Strategy + Positioning, Top Conversations | 0 comment | 29 October, 2020 | 0

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

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 Press Won’t Cover My New Product. What Should I Do?

By Charlie Cooper | Media + Influencers | 0 comment | 18 August, 2020 | 1

Back during my newsroom days, I drove a very nice comms manager at a hot Silicon Valley startup absolutely crazy. Her CEO had come up with a killer idea how to make good use of some of the unused network infrastructure left over from the pre-dotcom crash era. It was clear to me – asRead more

By Tim Marklein | Communications, Marketing, Media + Influencers, Research + Analytics, Story + Content, Strategy + Positioning, Top Conversations | 0 comment | 30 July, 2020 | 1

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. Many millions of people were left without jobs, and hundreds of millions more were instructed to work from home. Within the tech industry, companies mobilized to respondRead more

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. The joke among reporters is that even in the best of times, the media industry is usually in a depression. That may be a bit of exaggeration, but these are clearly not the best of times.Read more

Some Thoughts about Marketing in a Down Economy

By Karen Dabaghian | Marketing, Silicon Valley | 0 comment | 19 May, 2020 | 0

I realize women are expected to hem and haw about their age, but I’m 50 years old and not at all bummed about it. Frankly, being of a certain age has tangible benefits. I’m tempted to plagiarize Farmers Insurance and say something about resilience and “having seen a thing or two,” but I won’t (asRead more

By Marianna Vyridi | Communications, Marketing, Social | 0 comment | 13 May, 2020 | 0

Last month, Barron’s published an editorial by Alex Friedman and Larry Hatheway on the need for the U.S. to move toward more sustainable capitalism. They were right.
