PR Start by Nick Lucido

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.

I’ve seen a lot of posts going around about social media in 2009, specifically ones from Brian Solis, Shannon Paul and Todd Defren. Check them out – those are some pretty solid posts. So in anticipation of the new year, I wanted to write about what I think is going on in public relations in [...]
