Waxing UnLyrical

Recently, I received an email from someone asking if I would be interested in providing PR services for a fundraising campaign he is embarking on. He is doing this because so far, at least, he’s been unsuccessful in securing funding to build a prototype for what sounds like an interesting invention in the energy field. So now he’s turning to crowd-funding.

Guest post by Martin Waxman. I remember a time not too long ago when I knew how to do my job really well. I’d get up in the morning, scour the media and go to work, confident that when a client would call, I could help them out. I knew what worked by doing; that is, based on success. Soon I had a proven blueprint I could apply to virtually any situation that came my way, knowing that if I stayed with it, the results would be positive.

This post first ran on Jan. 27 of this year. It’s still the most popular Waxing UnLyrical post to date, so we re-run it, with minor edits to keep it updated, for your reading pleasure in case you missed it earlier. And because we’ve gone shoe shopping. Enjoy! In the genes? I don’t know if we PR pros have a faulty gene or what, but we make it so easy for other professionals to beat up on us.

Guest post by Erin Feldman. I never was a cheerleader. I wasn’t the type. I wasn’t extroverted or bubbly. I was one of the quiet ones. I liked to study. I liked to read. I liked to think. But even though I never was a cheerleader, I understand the benefits of having a cheerleading squad. A cheerleading squad cheers for the team despite how well or how poorly the team is doing.

Guest post by Justin Goldsborough. Remember that Johnny Dakota “Saved by the Bell” episode? You know, the one that taught us “There’s no hope with dope.”. Thanks, NBC. The more you know… There’s another lesson that can be learned from that episode and it has nothing to do with drugs and everything to do with marketing communications.

Dear You, Well, this isn’t actually a letter from Jamaica, since I didn’t get online at all much (and that was only to share photos on Facebook) while we were there. After we got back,you were asking about the trip, so I figured I’d tell you a little bit about it. First, though – hello! I hope you had a good Thanksgiving (if you celebrated it), and that the last two weeks have treated you well?

This past weekend, my friend Ken Mueller shared a video he’d taken of a Christmas flash mob at the Lancaster Central Market, singing the Hallelujah Chorus. I love flash mobs – who doesn’t, right? plus, I think they’re in my DNA, since no one can flash mob like Bollywood can – so I watched it. It’s a cute video, albeit without much arm-shaking and leg-waggling.
