STRUMPETTE'S ENCORE: 10-Headed Hydra Eats the PR BizPosted by Amanda Chapel
With that in mind, management has asked that I reconsider. Thought is that maybe we acted rashly. Hmmm... I know I didn't. A return is not in the cards, I'm afraid. But the fact that others may think so surely means that I owe friends, colleagues, and our readers a more detailed explanation. Here it is in a nutshell: I believe with every ounce of my being that the PR business is being eaten by a 10-headed hydra. Frankly, I think the future of our business is questionable at best and certainly undignified. Amanda's Back!!Posted by Kailey Astor We've finally heard from Amanda. Well, first off, she’s not on St. Kitts. She's at the Montpelier Plantation on the Island of Nevis. This is all she sent.
If the past is any indication, it means she's back. We hope. |

First if I may, I'd like to take a moment to thank our many supporters and loyal fans. It's been overwhelming. Truly. I'm told that while I was away, we received just over 600 emails, letters and cards (637 to be exact). Two people sent flowers. :) I'm touched beyond words. Suffice to say that all of us here are all deeply deeply grateful.

Be careful using the word authentic too often. Might later come off as "synthetic authenticity"

Funny that such an article should appear on a blog no? You guys must be from New York.

I don't have a clue about PR. But, couldn't this move to 'authentic' just really be running away from anything 'virtual' at all, like all the other band-wagoners out there that never u [...]

I'm a totally authentic blogger. Edelman is in deep shit.

Makes me wonder what have they been doing until now?

Wow - I agree with Britton that its incredibly poor positioning. Rick also gives the kind of quote that's supposed to sound hip, clever and yet sincere, but it just comes across s [...]
