I enjoyed meeting so many amazing people and learning about some very exciting businesses at the Web Host Industry Review’s Networking Event in Denver last night. Many of you asked me about MediaMonde’s services and experience, and I truly appreciate your interest. If you can’t find what you’re looking for here (or even if you can), I invite you to contact me directly to learn more about how MediaMonde can service your marketing and public relations needs. I look forward to speaking with you all again soon! Thanks to the WHIR for hosting a terrific event!

Love This Quote

Bill Gates once said, “If I only had two dollars left, I would spend one dollar on PR.” I suppose the question then becomes, “How would you spend the other dollar?”

New Web Site

2010 April 13

The look is new. The content is up-to-date. The navigation is more intuitive. And the basis is quite simple. But the possibilities are endless. I have more old blog posts to add (mostly news items from the old site) and, of course, some fodder for new posts, too, but in the meantime, the new MediaMonde web site is officially open for business! The old site was completely scrapped on Saturday, and less than 24 hours later, this new one was sitting in its place. (I love WordPress for that reason – it’s so easy to get up and running quickly – though it’s not for everyone.) Watch for the evolution of this blog section, which will feature clients and projects, news and perspectives, and much more. I invite you to chime in with a comment whenever it strikes you to do so.

I realize the rotating photos at the top are not marketing-related – in fact, some aren’t even business-related – but they’re more interesting than the pencils that adorned the old web site for far too long. And they’re all mine, too. Some of them may even feature landmarks you recognize.

Comments, criticisms and witticisms welcome!

Under Construction, Really?

It seems so cliché to say “under construction,” but this web site is, in fact, under construction. Bear with me while I finish updating the content, adding images and working out the kinks.

Public Relations Principles

2009 May 3
by Deborah Hamilton
Theodore Levitt, the late father of global marketing, labeled public relations “the credible source,” pointing out that when the message is delivered by an objective third party, such as a journalist or broadcaster, the message is delivered more persuasively. As you may know, much of the news and information in the world’s media – broadcast, print and online – originates from businesses, organizations and public relations sources. If you’re not keeping the media informed of your news, you’re missing an opportunity to tap into the power of “the credible source.”

When it comes to public relations, I operate on the following fundamental principles …

  • Public relations is not an event. It is always a process, a planned effort to influence opinion.
  • It is both an art and a science. It requires creativity, communication and coordination.
  • There’s no magic in it. Successful campaigns are timely, relevant, factual and well-executed.

MediaMonde’s most successful public relations efforts begin with quality clients who offer quality products and services. It is atop this solid foundation that we can carefully build and execute public relations campaigns that generate positive publicity and help you establish valuable long-term relationships with journalists, analysts and others who can influence your target audiences.
