Eskew, Chairman and CEO, UPS, Inc.: | Main | Down for the Count » Why (not) now? or Have we got the Wright stuff?Posted by Bob Brin on September 20, 2005 at September 20, 2005 2:41 PMThis blog is a group effort by some gainfully employed, seriously accredited and painfully experienced public relations folks at Padilla Speer Beardsley, which has been around forty-some years. A few of us are even that old. So we thought we'd share our war stories and warts, reflections and perplexions. That being said, the opinions expressed herein do not necessarily represent our lawyer's and are subject to change without notice or regret. The Lead is about communication's role in propelling business, i.e., gaining the lead and keeping it, which requires leadership . . . article leads . . . and sales leads. We believe strongly in the science of communication (thanks to John Beardsley), but like the Wright brothers, who were early users of the wind tunnel, we're mindful that the real goal of communications in business is to get off the ground before the other guy. Or to fly higher, faster, lighter, etc. Feel free to add your comments. They will be reviewed and possibly posted. If not, don't take offense (or wax offensive). Our real jobs probably got in the way. We're serious about this, but don't take us too seriously. We don't.
CommentsGenerally, I avoid blogs that turn out to be columns that shout "I Am," etc. That does not mean that Blogs should not be written. When I spot a blog by a real pro who is commenting on topics of the day, I read it,especially if I know it is by someone I know and respect at PSB. I know you would never stoop to self-aggrandisement. Personal regards and best wishes to my long-time friends and colleagues at PSB.
