Justin Case You Were Wondering

This week on PR 2.0 Chat TV, Heather and I dove into Kenneth Cole, Groupon and when PR.marketing cross the line and try to be too opportunistic. Kenneth Cole was just being an egotistical idiot. Or trying to be clever and it didn’t work. But I think Groupon broke that old rule my parents always told me when I was growing up — Be yourself.

Chuck Hemann is VP of digital strategy and analytics at Ogilvy. He blogs at Analytics is King and has recently shown a significant passion for the influencer conversation — specifically how PR pros are going about researching, identifying and conducting outreach to influencers.

Trying to get on a schedule with PR 2.0 Chat TV where we film every Wednesday and publish Thursdays or Fridays, fyi. This week’s topic came from a MarketingProfs article highlighting that only 12 percent of brands believe they are using social media effectively. Heather and I thought that stat was fascinating, considering the increased investment corporations continue to make in strategy and tactics involving social media.

Heather and I are very excited to bring you the first episode of PR 2.0 Chat TV. It’s been a long time coming. We had to figure out how the heck we were going to be able to record our Skype calls, find time to record them, then I screwed up the lighting in my office, yada yada (insert other user error). But we finally made it and are hoping you’ll help us make the show better as we move along.
