Top PR Trends for 2018: Part 1

When I first joined the Dittoe Public Relations team in 2006, one of our go-to research methods was thumbing through the paper-thin pages of the 10-lb printed Bacon’s Media Directory (maybe a slight exaggeration, but that thing was heavy). It took way too much time flipping through its thousands of pages just to find one good contact. I can confidently say I don’t miss those days. I’m so thankful for the evolution of public relations over the past 12 years and the tools and tactics that make the lives of PR professionals easier, so we can produce amazing results for our [...]

In PR: Act Fast, Like the Flash!

One of my client’s, the one and only Senario, informed me earlier this week that they would be attending the C2E2 convention this weekend (April 17), which is the Chicago Comic and Entertainment show. I think it sounds like a total blast! The convention spans the latest and greatest from the worlds of comics, movies, television, toys, anime, manga and video games. How could that not be fun?! In public relations, you have to be able to act fast. Sometimes, I physically and mentally move so quickly to get things done that I seriously feel like The Flash, c’mon you know [...]
