I have been meaning to post this for days but I just kept forgetting to! A few days ago, I was surfing the message boards of Family Guy (a TV show if you dont know) because their first new episode in years is premiering Sunday! Well, as I was reading them, a lot of them […]
The other night I received a scholarship at the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences award banquet. With my scholarship I received a whole packet that talked about writing a thank you note to the contributor of the scholarship and examples of letters. Basically the packet stressed that these people were giving money and we […]
Have you noticed the signs around campus? Example: An advertisment at Gourmet Tiger Deli: Get Ready for Finals-Eat our Spinach Dip…or something like that. One resturant is giving out free food at the library next week in order for some free publicity.
It is neat to me how people use this time of year to get […]
Has anyone besides me seen these green t-shirts around campus-people wearing them? I have no idea what it means and each time I see someone I want to ask them what they are or what is going on, but I haven’t gotten the chance to do it yet.
What I started to think […]
I am currently taking a war photography class with Mrs. Audet and I am confused about my own opinion on it.
Sometimes I think it is a good thing that journalist and photographers are among the soldiers in the countries where the war is taking place. But then sometimes I think it might not be […]
So I was playing on the facebook tonight while procrastinating working on a speech and I had a message from a person I didn’t know. It was a mass message so I’m sure ya’ll got it too. It was from some girl at Boston University who is interning at ELLE. She was […]
I was browsing through Neville Hobson’s blog and found his Thursday post about Volkswagon’s use of blogs to keep informed and connected when it comes to new technology information. It seems that the automotive industry has been quick to adopt blogs. Any idea why this particular industry seems to be more receptive to the […]
Whereas parents shake their heads in disapproval, the corporate world has a different opinion.
I went home this weekend to see my sister off to her Junior/Senior Prom. Of course, she looked beautiful, but at what cost? (No offense, Kate.) Between getting her nails and make-up done and spending $80 on dinner (well actually that […]
We have talked about how much the PR profession has grown and even been given concrete examples of this growth. However, while studying with a marketing friend of mine I felt compelled to tell him exactly how his job will differ from mine one day. In two different classes we have been given […]
I’m finally blogging again!!! I haven’t blogged in a while due to the demands of my other classes. I like to wait to last minute to do things and it sometimes gets me into a bind.
For example, just this weekend I went on a plant ecology trip to Dauphin Island. We had to know about […]
I would like to extend my sincerest congratulations to the marriage of a subject that is extremely close to my heart, Public Relations, and Marketing, an equally dear acquaintance. These two comrades met years ago, but they have just recently discovered their undying love and dependence. In fact over the years, the two became so […]
While I was sitting in class today and when we were talking about Iraq and other stuff in news, I started thinking about the news. In our PR classes, we talk about how it is important for us to know what is going on and how we should read the newspaper all the time. […]
Talk about a self-starter… David Adams, founder of D.A. Promotions here in Auburn just finished his second annual “In the Ring” boxing competition. The two-night event features Auburn students and local boxing enthusiasts who box each other elimination-style until a winner is determined. The overall winner of the competition recieved $1,000. […]
USAtoday.com has an interesting article on its site today that you might want to check out. Jessica Cutler, who we have talked about in class, now has a book deal with Hyperion describing her short term on Capitol Hill. The article goes on to describe other book deals that have been inspired by blogs. […]
The majority of my time this weekend was spent in a hospital ( I was just visiting someone.) My first impressions of the doctors and nurses were often formed before more than two sentences were spoken.
I found myself keenly aware of the caregivers who knew what they were talking about as well as the ones […]
Well, after a long weekend of trying to get over my throat ailment, turns out it is allergy season (duh!), I had quite an interesting time. After a very painful shot at the doctor, I found myself feeling much better and capable of going to the Rodeo (I think I would of gone even […]
I have a speech due tomorrow for my Comm2400 class and as I was researching for it, I came across an interesting speech. The speech was by Robert Delinschneider of the Delinschneider Group. He was speaking to the Public Relations team at the American Red Cross, basically praising them for all of their […]
Everyday I wake up and get on my computer to check my email (read away messages) and then check my handy-dandy WeatherBug in my toolbar so I know what to wear. I was reading it today, to see if it was going to rain, and I noticed a new button on the menu. It says […]
After taking some of my PR and marketing classes, I have noticed a change in the way I look at things. I was watching the movie, Man On Fire, (great movie by the way) and I couldn’t help notice that throughout the whole movie I kept noticing brand and product placement. Throughout the movie the […]
Has anyone noticed the posters and publicity going around about the boxing tournament this weekend - “In the Ring 2005?”
Well I was talking to a group of girls about it and I started to really think about the PR they are using for it. Signs are up downtown, around town, people are putting […]
