When economists and business people say the world is flat, they aren’t talking about concerns our ancestors had about sailing off the edge of the earth. Instead, “the world is flat” in a business context means that, thanks to rapid advances in technology and communication, entrepreneurs and companies are now part of a global […].

It’s always fascinating to take a look at how a brand is marketing to us as consumers.

It’s fascinating when a company’s public relations gets ahead of its reality. Any strategic PR or marketing plan should emphasize an organization’s strengths and rebut weaknesses and threats, but there’s such a thing as too much hype. This is particularly true in the tech sector. Case in point: WeWork. The Gizmodo headline, “WeWork To Delay IPO Amid Suspicion It’s Not Actually A Tech Company Worth $47 Billion” sums it up nicely.

Leaked internal communications can be strategically valuable assets rather than just risks to manage. When used proactively, these leaks can highlight leadership and innovation—qualities that resonate in today’s media. By approaching internal comms with a dual-purpose approach, companies shift from mere risk avoidance to leveraging these moments as credible public messages around strategy.

There was a time when PR was associated with free publicity and marketing with paid advertising. That distinction has blurred since the popularity of the internet, especially social media. On the other hand, it depends upon whom you ask. For companies selling products or services, marketing, and public relations have the same goal of producing positive returns that result in increased business and profits.

Though autumn officially starts on Sept. 23, Starbucks rolled out its pumpkin spice latte this year on Aug. 27 — a day earlier than in 2018 and over a week earlier than in 2017. Given the popularity of the PSL, which Starbucks began serving in 2003, this trend makes sense. In 2015, Forbes estimated that the drink rakes in around $100 million over the course of a single autumn.

If you want action, add a ticking clock to the mix. Hollywood has been using that formula for years. Think of the bomb about to detonate ( Speed ), the person about to wake up ( Inception ), and the game about to end (every sports movie ever). Back to the Future wouldn’t have been much of a movie if Marty McFly could return the DeLorean to 1985 whenever he wanted.

Moving is no easy task, especially moving to Los Angeles. As college graduation was approaching, I was beginning the job search in my hometown and thought it wouldn’t be too difficult to land a job in PR since I had already completed a few internships.
