PR Start by Nick Lucido

Continuing with my recap of the Chicago PR: Get in the Loop posts (recap of the keynote here) , I attended a session hosted by Amber Naslund on “Measuring and Analyzing Social Media.” I’ve been following Amber for a while on Twitter and read her blog religiously (check both out).
Even though our session was only [...]

I’d be lying to you if I said I went to Chicago this weekend just for a conference. I’ve been itching to get back since I left last August, and since DePaul PRSSA was hosting Chicago PR: Get in the Loop, I figured it was the perfect time to come back.

Overall, I’m extremely impressed with [...]

About one year ago, I wrote a post talking about what the public relations industry would look like in 2009. I also took a look at some other posts and I was surprised at how much I learned since I started blogging in September 2008. It’s interesting, to say the least.
Anyway, did what I “predict” come [...]

During the past week, I’ve been in San Diego for the PRSSA National Conference. It was an incredible week of catching up with my fellow students, learning and professional development. One of the great pieces out there that include a recap from both the PRSSA and PRSA Conference is from the San Diego News Network, [...]

If you think the recession is over and jobs are everywhere, you need to think again. As if the class of 2009 didn’t have a hard enough time finding a job, predictions for 2010 are just as bleak.

I don’t have cable in my room and I only subscribe to several print magazines, but I read my college paper every day because it’s free and accessible on campus (and I work there, too). I don’t visit newspaper’s Web sites often [...]

Last week, before I packed up with my family and headed up to Traverse City for five days with my family, I met up with a fellow PRSSA National Committee member, Jenna Huskinson. It was great to catch up with her and we started chatting about our other plans for the year. One thing we [...]

Below is a guest post from Sarah Siewert, an MSU alumna who is now one year out of college. She is a PR professional working for the Michigan Fitness Foundation, programming chair for the PRSA New Professionals section and board member for CMPRSA. Yes, she is pretty awesome. Make sure to check out her blog [...]

While I was finishing up my internship with Edelman Digital in Chicago, I hopped up three floors to Ketchum’s Chicago office to interview Ron Culp. Ron is a model citizen in the public relations industry and a mentor to many. He currently leads Ketchum’s North American corporate practice and is a partner with the firm. [...]

I wanted to write a summary of what I learned at Edelman this summer, and I finally was able to do it. It wasn’t on this blog, however. I wrote it up and submitted it to Rob Culp of Ketchum, who writes the incredibly helpful Culpwit blog aimed at helping public relations students in their [...]
