Doing My Part for Migraine Awareness
June is National Headache Awareness month and as a chronic migraine sufferer I’ve been trying to figure out how to contribute to the month for years. – Over 36 million Americans suffer from migraines – Of those 36 million sufferers, 27 million are women – Migraine episodes can last from 2 to 72 hours – [...]

Read Forever – Great advertising? Or the start of PR?
Last week, I wrote about my love of Barnes & Noble’s Read Forever campaign. The commercials they’re running are inspiring, lazy and reminiscent of the drizzly Saturday afternoons you spend curled up with a book. But then I read The Fall of Advertising & The Rise of PR by Al and Laura Ries to prep [...]

What can you do with an English Degree?
Imagine the scene: You’re sitting in a room full of your friends who have degrees in things like computer science, electrical engineering, chemistry and pre-med. Everyone is singing songs from the Lonely Island, Toto, Miley Cyrus and Meatloaf (because your friends are awesome, but you’re all also sort of weird). Suddenly, one of the future [...]

Water and Social Media
The power of water has always fascinated and scared me. I was always the kid playing with the water tub at the science museum and I’ve always loved seeing water wheels at factories. But at the same time, I almost always hate being IN water – or rather moving water. I don’t like the beach [...]

Remembering Declan
Last Wednesday, Declan Sullivan, a junior at Notre Dame, tragically passed away when a scissor lift on which he was filming football practice toppled over in strong winds. There’s not much left to be said on the subject, as many who knew him well have already memorialized him in the blogosphere. However, I need to [...]

To Those Who Fell, and Those Who Carry On
Nine years ago today our country was attacked. Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news that the World Trade Center had been hit by an airplane. Everyone remembers the moment they realized this wasn’t something out of the blue, but rather a premeditated terrorist attack on our soil. Personally, I was sitting [...]

How the rule of 10% – 90% applies to content creation, and you
I recently participated in a week-long sales training program designed to help employees at my company dig deeper and examine sales cycles more deeply. At the risk of exposing myself here – though most of my co-attendees won’t be shocked to hear it – I have to say that I had a very hard time [...]

Print isn’t dead – The Future of Journalism in America
Journalism. Saying the word conjures thoughts of layoffs, pay walls, shrinking ad revenues and smaller newspapers. It’s a pretty depressing thought to most people – unless you’re one of the four panelists at “The Future of Journalism: Transforming the Fourth Estate” at the 2010 Bulldog Reporter Media Relations Summit. The panelists – Ellen Levine, Editorial [...]

2010 Bulldog Reporter Media Relations Summit wrap-up
Well, I’m back from my first business trip that wasn’t financed on the shoe string budget of a student newspaper (the destinction of that first, shoe-string budget trip was to Los Angeles in 2008). One of the perks of being an adult! I just attended the 2010 Bulldog Reporter Media Relations Summit in New York [...]

How to become a media “go-to” expert
