If you work in PR, it is essentially part of your job to stay informed. There are a few PR blogs that I peruse every morning to get new tips, ideas and recommendations. I thought I would share them will y’all! Let me know if I am missing any must-reads. 1) PR Couture This is the perfect place for all of us fashion PR girls. I love that PR Couture is a marketplace of contributors sharing their two-cents; every time I look through it, I always find tons of tips that I can use to make my business
Position / Job title?: Marketing Manager at a tech company // lifestyle blogger at DoseOfDash.com // freelance marketing and branding consultant 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A child star on Broadway – my debut role would be Annie, of course. I even once complained to my parents that they weren’t stage parent-y enough. I know if I had just had a I found yoga 3 years ago, and my life changed in a way I never knew it could. I decided that while I was still young (and unemployed), I would become an yoga instruction. I mean, why not, right? Ever since I started the training, I have fallen more and more in love with my practice. I have never felt so passionate about anything in my life. After going to school for four years with a minimal interest in what I was studying, I often wondered what I was going to do. What was I passionate about? What was I Confession: I’m not a Gen Y girl. I’m knocking on the door of 40. I remember the day MTV went live in our house and walking to my television to change the channel. Gen X all the way. Not to worry. I’m not a Gen X hater of the so-called entitled younger generation. In fact, I know some fabulous Gen Y women and I have a lot of admiration for you ladies. I may even be a wee bit jealous. You have the opportunity to learn from those who came before you in a way like we never did. All
Working at a cool, hip start-up has sorta become a badge of honor. Everyone is looking for that next big company. I am spending the next few days in the Windy City, which is exciting for a few reasons: I am meeting with a handful of new PR firms to see if we can work together in the future. I have flown through the Chicago airport a million times, but I have never actually spent any time in the city. It is kinda cold there (well, cold relative to Texas), so I am finally getting to preview my Fall wardrobe! These mini vacays are the best part of my job because they keep my life exciting, and I love meeting new During my recent job hunting endeavors, in which I have endlessly applied to 9-5 pm jobs, I have had a revaluation. I’m not even excited about job prospects because the 9-5 position is becoming a bit outdated. Who says that I have to work for a company I don’t even care about just because it is a societal norm? After talking to a friend about my frustrations, she gave me some of the best advice I’ve gotten in awhile.

I never had a clear idea of what I wanted to do, but I feel like I always thought I wanted to do something “different.” I was in choir from a young age, and thought that I might do something with that. As I got older, I realized that wasn’t really possible, and I didn’t know So, I just got approval from my editor at Entrepreneur.com to do a series on branding. Being the nerd I am, I am completely stoked to look at how some of the coolest companies successfully use a myriad of tools to establish a cohesive brand. The companies I am going to cover don’t just have customers: they have fans. As I started to plan out my first column, it got me thinking about the importance of personal branding. Even if you aren’t aiming to an entrepreneur, it is important to create a personal brand that helps you stand out professionally. As my job has been job-hunting the past month, I can say that I feel like an expert at phone interviews. I mean, I really know how to nail them. At first I found them to be quite nerve-racking, I always thought I was better in person, making eye contact, and reading their body language.
