The timeless, endless struggle continues: You, the savvy and realistic PR pro, know it’s better to approach fewer targets with more personalized pitches.

You disagree — if you didn’t, you wouldn’t keep reading these blog posts where I emphasize customization until my fingers get sore.

The technology would create the perfect message, deliver to the right people, at the right time, score the leads appropriately, and then hand a list of buy-ready names to sales. It just doesn’t work that way. Utopian perhaps, but technology in and of itself may not be an advantage unless you have the capacity to use it effectively.
