If you are unfamiliar with how powerful a medium, TV dramas are for the music industry let me just give you an example.
Most people who live in the western world are familiar with ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy. However, before 2006, very few knew of the band “The Fray”. They have actually been around since 2002. In [...]

Dear diary: My client dumped me!

Last week I got dumped.
That’s right, dumped, shown the door, given the boot, kicked to the curb. Pick your expression.
I suppose I should have seen it coming. All the classic signs were there, long periods without communication, not replying to emails, indecision about what they wanted to do, and frequently changing their mind. Still it [...]
Dear God: This is why I’m leaving You

I recently came upon a blog, lettersfromleavers.com, which is a compilation of letters from ex-churchgoers on why they left the church. I thought it was a very interesting concept, especially for an organization like the church who’s main goal is recruit members. It’s an invaluable research tool that gives them information on exactly why their [...]

It came in the form of two (short lived) television shows: one called Power Girls, which debuted on MTV in 2005; and the other The Fashionista Diaries, [...]
Help! PR has taken over my life!

The more I move around in the field of PR, the more I find it permeating all areas of my life. This occurred to me earlier week during a conversation with a friend. She was telling me about a problem she had getting a particular group of young people to consistently attend a program she [...]
The Writers’ Strike: a wrench in the tv works

Well, the Screen Actors Guild Awards will go ahead as planned, having been given the green light by the Writers Guild of America.
