I have an unshakable belief that we’re living, right now, in one of the most crazy awesome times in human history. I believe that in 100 years from now, people will look back at the turn of the 21st century and say “Dayam, I wish I lived then!” – sorta like we do now thinking back to the 60’s, or the Enlightenment, or the industrial revolution, or the 80’s. Na, just kidding – the 80’s sucked.


Scalable areas like media placement are becoming competitive and crowded, and more and more agencies are entering the arena. Often these new agencies are more energetic and better looking than us. Damn those little punks to hell.Think about it. We’re living in a time where digital communication is changing everything. You know that right? Of course you do.


The question really is, what are you doing about it?So, running an agency, as I do, the question becomes even more critical. I’m at the forefront of all this stuff. We get updates daily, hourly, every .minute, on new shit that’s getting done. Innovations, inventions, disruptions: these are the things that mark this amazing pocket of time called the digital age....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

PR is one very important ingredient in the recipe for success, but just like Rome wasn't built in a day, your brand won't be built in a day (or a month or even a year). It takes time and patience to build a long-lasting brand with loyal customers.

 

It's time for some real talk, everyone.

 

Take this scenario: you launched a new product, you hired a PR firm, you paid a hefty monthly retainer, and now you are disappointed. Where are your results? Where is your fame? Why isn't your product selling like a Kardashian perfume?

 

I have worked with a lot of different PR firms, companies and brands. I have worked with everyone from Fortune 500 companies to mother/daughter teams making beauty products in the basement, from celebrities to regular folk. And more times than not, when a PR campaign isn't working, it's due to one of the scenarios below -- but your publicist is too scared to tell you the truth.

 

Here now, the reasons why your PR campaign isn't working...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

This is a valuable reality check for businesses hiring PR consultants. if your PR isn't working, you need to rethink.
