There's not much I can tell someone about PR. I'm new to it. Heck, I'm not even really new to it. I've held several internships and am about to hold another one, but I've yet to truly be employed in PR. Good news, though, David Meerman Scott has been in PR. He's been in the PR/marketing/advertising realm for years, and he's not shy about sharing his knowledge in his book, The New Rules of Marketing & PR.
David Meerman Scott's book walks readers through the new ways to run a business in the world of Web 2.0. As a young man, I've grown up with social media and digital everything, but Scott's approach not only refreshed my knowledge on new media, it showed me how to capitalize on my knowledge and taught me many things I didn't know.
Although I've been reading blogs since I was in fifth grade, I didn't even know Technorati existed. I could've read much more WWF gossip had I known there was a resource to help me find them!
I didn't realize how big The Second Life could some day be. Hell, we all have ideal/actual self-identification issues, why wouldn't avatars succeed? Scott's thought-provoking insights into this new realm of marketing and PR inspired me toward many sticky-note laden hand cramps and a fresh perspective on how to move forward in PR.
While I'm clearly not using many of the pieces of great advice Scott has to offer, maybe you will. Better yet, maybe you should. To businesses big and small spanning any and all fields, pick up the book, implement some of his ideas and watch your bottom line rise.
To you, Mr. David Meerman Scott, thank you for your truly insightful look into the ever-evolving realm of marketing, advertising and PR. It's sincerely appreciated.
