It’s no small secret that Oregonians love beer. More specifically, it’s no small secret that employees of Respond2 love beer. So imagine my excitement about learning that a Deschutes Brewpub is going to be opening up just down the street from us in a few short months.
I mean, I’m an Oregonian. I work for [...]
When old and new collide in the world of PR
Friday, December 21st, 2007
This last week, myself and a few others members of the New Media team went on a book tour stretching across a few states on the East Coast. The book we were selling is aimed at an older audience than any of us, and we learned very quickly that we had to completely change [...]
Wining and dining a younger crowd

Public relations professionals do not tell the story—we sell the story
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

It should be noted that “excited” would not even be an applicable term—I had been looking [...]
Lessons learned from Tom’s of Maine
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007
Every month the Portland Business Journal puts on what they call a “Power Breakfast.” The thought being that “powerful” individuals (myself excluded) can get together over a semi-warm breakfast of powdered eggs and over-sugared pastries to learn, share and, of course, network.
This is why sometimes it can be a little difficult to talk me into [...]
Dove unleashed an onslaught
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007
Featured below is the latest viral campaign from Dove. If you recall, Dove put out an amazing commercial last year (winning numerous awards along the way, including the prestigious Grand Prix awards at Cannes) that was called “Evolution.” This was one of the first, and surely the biggest, campaign to start out virally and, due [...]
Getting in at ground level has its ups—and its downs
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007
It truly is an exciting time to be entering the world of online PR. Not everyone is quite sure what they’re doing, or the most effective way to do it, which amounts to a lot of slip-ups. On the flip side, there are a lot of triumphs as well.
When a company succeeds in the online [...]
