Man I feel for the folks at Verizon. Full disclosure here - I'm a happy client. I always get coverage (even at my in-laws' 80-acre farm in Northern Wisconsin), and their customer has always been stellar when I've needed it. So I felt for them when it was revealed this week that, under federal government…

If you have ever seen the way a newsroom operates, you know that it can be chaotic, unpredictable and stressful. I have not personally worked in a newsroom, however my colleague has, and always shares stories about…

Recently I was leading my regular Wednesday morning referral-based networking group where the challenge is always getting a fellow member (all whom are from different industries) to refer me business. However, since PR is one of those industries that people always have a difficult time understanding, and…

It is easy to burn through money with a Google Adwords campaign.

If you have a bad taste in your mouth for a campaign gone sour, you might try revisiting the idea with the below items in mind. A lack of maintenance, understanding of features and tactics may all contribute to a failed…

I mean this strongly - 2013 will be a great year! Now I know that many folks say that about every year, but this one I'm most certain.

Here are some reasons why:

1. Companies are growing again. Spending is up, jobs are coming back and organizations are looking to…

Last time in this blog series that helps you learn "how to give your press release more visibility online," we talked about keywords, words or phrases your target audience might use to find you and the importance of anchor text. Finishing…

Though I'm a proud Green Bay Packers shareholder (yeah - that's right - I'm an NFL owner), I still enjoy when my home town San Diego Chargers win. I've got a boat load…

Right after Labor Day, I had a few colleagues alert me on a discussion blog that was getting significant interest about…

Part 1: Anchor Text

When you post a press release, you want to maximize its potential.  You could simply post the release without giving a thought to optimization, or you can take a few extra minutes to be strategic and make your press release more searchable online.  There are SEO…

I'm looking forward to presenting at the IOA Monthly CEO Breakfast Roundtable event this week.

Here's the topic:

Do it Yourself P.R.

How you can generate buzz without paying for it...

Many companies of all shapes and sizes think the only way to generate…

At first glance, this "boy looking for a band" icon should have fizzled out some time ago. His songs are essentially the same and his schtick hasn't changed a bit since he came on the scene a few years back.

But not only does he continue to command large audiences, adoring fans and a enough…

 A reoccurring question we get here at Stalwart Communications is how one goes about measuring the effectiveness of PR. This can be a tough question to answer because there is not one simple answer. Here at Stalwart, we hold ourselves accountable for…

Whether you're a fan of the conservative talk show host or not, one thing's for certain; he really stepped in it this week. He backed himself into a corner, tried to fight his…
