Anchorman: The Legend of Marty Levin (way classy)

In 1987, La Bamba was rocking the radio waves, gas was 89 cents a gallon, the Simpson's debuted on national TV and so did Marty Levin at KNSD. It feels so strange to watch the news now and not see my friend and former colleague in his usual chair. I had the privilege of being on set Wednesday night for his final sign off. During those last moments, he said something that really struck me and all of us:

Pac-Man's PR blitz

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Pac-Man, happy birthday to you! If you were on the Internet today you probably made your way over to the Google homepage and played a game or two of Pac-Man when you should have been working. It seems even after 30 years, the game is still wildly entertaining from the arcade to Atari to the CPU. I was also happy to see Ms. Pac-Man make an appearance.

Why shopping reminds me of PR

As a recent homeowner, I’ve learned that there’s often a pretty price tag that comes with decorating. My friends are all die hard Pottery Barn customers. Does the store sell quality items? Yes. Is it expensive? Oh yeah! Can customers achieve the same “look” shopping elsewhere? You betcha. While I love the rustic appearance the company aims to provide, I refuse to be victim of the extraordinary high prices. Instead I choose to find similar…

However, I think we as a PR community will need to continue bring the issue of how to do social media the right - and as important - ethical way for our clients.
