Arik, while I usually agree with your thoughts and always appreciate your insights, I have to disagree with you on this one. I think that if brands don't recognize a national tragedy they appear oblivious to the world and completely self-centered. I understand what you're saying, that when every brand is saying basically the same thing, what difference does it make? But I think it's about being part of the social networks. If you're not, then you may as well just go back to one-way messaging and skip social media all together.
Amazing article. Wonderful to see that some people will continue to pursue what is right. And Facebook should not be making decisions that are clearly double standards.
Margie I so hope we get a chance to meet in person. From your song choices (I am in awe of the Talking Heads song leading to this fab post!), to an Emily Dickinson reference (always my fave poet) in a previous post, to your reading lists and struggle with what to do in social media, wow do we have lots in common!! I so enjoyed reading this and I find myself agonizing with you!!! I've said before that you are inspiring. You simply are. No matter what you choose to do it how you choose to do it, you are making a difference for many people.
LOVE this post. My hubby and I are way behind too, having finished season 1. But I'm dying to catch up! And just from the first season, I'd say your take on Don Draper PR man of 2013 is right on. Loved this fun post, Arik!
My dear Jayme, you and I both know SEO and digital experience does NOT a PR pro make. You are dead on with all the facets of PR you've listed, and while you can support those efforts through social media, you can't DO them through digital means. It takes skills, talent, experience and personality to pull off a fully developed and well rounded PR campaign, and social and digital are only tools to help make that campaign more successful, IMHO. Long live PR, my friend!
Personally, I wish you HAD been snarky with the Apple staff! I have been treated the same way in an Apple store, and leave feeling like I didn't belong there, like I was not smart enough to be using the products, let alone dare to stand at the genius bar. I'm not saying everyone who works in an Apple Store has an attitude issue, but I do think that perhaps they need to work on their overall customer service policy and strive to offer a better customer experience, more like the one you had at your second stop. I don't think the boredom comes from the technology, but rather from an overall attitude that doesn't quite fit with customer service ideals. Those are probably the people who should NOT be working directly with customers!
Meetings are so often for the sake of having a meeting that they all just seem inane after a while, don't they? Give me a to-do list and a deadline and I'm happy. Schedule me in back-to-back meetings and I will go out of my mind. Thanks for making sense of this craziness, Arik!
Hello, Gini and welcome back! Wonderful post, as always. So glad you had a good, semi-unplugged vacation! But what a week to be away. Wow. Being only 50 miles away, AND having friends at the finish line, it was truly frightening! And my take away from this is that there really is good in people... and it's wonderful how everyone comes together in a tragedy. It's just a shame that it's not like that ALL THE TIME! We need to forgive people for mistakes (Guy Kawasaki), we need to see the good in people and appreciate all we have in life. It's that simple! Welcome home!!!! We definitely missed you! P.S. When you've finally gotten caught up on things, I'd love it if you could read my take on last week in my two recent posts. ;)
Oh what a great question that I've posed to myself so many times! I too took a hiatus from Facebook, but felt the pull to be back there again. Perhaps it's a feeling of missing something if we're NOT posting. Perhaps it's for those of us who might need that external affirmation to feel we've thought or said or done the right thing. Or maybe it's that high school feeling of wanting to be sitting at the cool kids table. Who knows. The fact is that posting to social media has almost become second nature. When we see, feel, hear, smell or taste something, we feel the need to share it! Yup, it's involving ALL our senses now. I'm just waiting for the scratch-n-sniff tweet to come along! Thanks for another fab post, Margie! Hope you're enjoying a wonderful weekend.
@AlaskaChickBlog Hi Amber! I loved your post and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your comments!! It's always great to meet someone else who thinks like you, isn't it? Even if we ARE a country apart. Have a GREAT, happy day!! I'm following your blog now too. YAY! Great to connect.
@Soulati | B2B Social Media Marketing @KristenDaukas @NancyCawleyJean Thank you Kristen and Jayme! People like you make it a lot easier.
@KristenDaukas @Soulati | B2B Social Media Marketing @Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes I hit the Kingston Mines when I was there!
@Soulati | B2B Social Media Marketing @KristenDaukas I would LOVE to read Kristen's post on the Happy Friday series!! Jayme, I knew you couldn't conform to rigidity when you said you didn't keep lists. LOL!
@KristenDaukas I think people are really fortunate to have that full glass outlook, Kristen. I hope your positive attitutde can help your daughter to be more like you, because it can be done! All my best, and thanks for taking the time to read the post. Here's to a wonderful day!
@Soulati | B2B Social Media Marketing @Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes After visiting Wrigley Field and knowing the sage of the Cubs, I too am a fan. ;)
@Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes Well that's an excellent point, but it comes with the territory of being a Red Sox Fan. LOL! Thanks for reading!
Wow... Annabelle will definitely thank you some day for being a great dad.
Wow. The tears are just flowing. Now there's something to think about for a long time. Thanks so much for this amazing post. Not many posts you read these days have such a strong life lesson.
I absolutely loved this post. I work remotely as well and sometimes what we think is the best idea in the world is just not going to make it. If you can't bounce your ideas off others, it's sometimes dangerous ground. And the humor is what I miss the most. It gets us through those tough, tense times when deadlines are looming, and it's a reality check to share those times with people who understand. Thanks for a great post!
