Memori-graphic Day

28 May

“My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” – John F. Kennedy

Memorial Day is a day of freedom…. for some that means the freedom to throw the coats into some dark corner as summer starts and for others that means to remember the Veterans who helped us achieve freedom and for those lovely PR girls (put your hands in the air like you just don’t care) it’s the freedom to create infographics also known as visual-graphic-representations-of-tons-of-hopefully-interesting-information-that-slyly-slips-in-your-client. See perfect memori-graphic day example below…

Memorial-Day-Travel-Forecast-infographic

Oh AAA, you found a way to strut yourself this Memorial Day by doing a red-white-and-blue travel forecast infographic that makes people think, “I need insurance since I’m part of the 89% of road trippers which is 31M more than last year” #PRsmarts #ISeeYaBro

Happy Memori-graphic Day,

xoxo

Rock the Vote

5 Nov

With the 2012 presidential election season coming to a close, all last-minute voters trying to get out there and rock their vote, and as Americans hold their breath to hear the news of next president of the United States of America, there is something every PR girl can take away from the elections:

It’s not about winning or losing but about the message and staying faithful to your beliefs. In PR you will work on many campaigns and work endlessly with the media. However, even a successful campaign or a bad interview isn’t necessarily where it starts or ends as long as you stay consistent and the message remains singular throughout the ups and downs. If you hop around too much your credibility is questioned. It’s about constantly putting the SAME message out there, whether it’s about the change, the hope, the future, the next big thing so on election day, win or lose, you remain true to yourself and your client.

Big picture: If the other guy wins… I’m leaving the country.

Happy Fourth’s Hangover

5 Jul

The smokey residues from last night’s not-15-seconds-rooftop-fireworks celebrating young USA’s birthday lingers in the air as everyone grudgingly gets to work on what feels like a Monday and to everyone’s surprise is a Thursday. Celebrating the 4th of July in NY, marking 236 years of America, felt so very patriotic with the Statue of Liberty gleaming down upon us. Sparklers, check. Red-white-and-blue, check. Declaration of (my) Independence – check. I have been here now for almost ten months (crazy!!) and time has literally flown by. Coming to New York was like signing my own little Declaration of Independence – of being financially independent and stable, of growing into the person I wanted to be socially and in my career, and mostly making a name for myself. Of course there’s still ways to go – but it was nice to have a full day to celebrate and reflect on history while moving forward…

Happy birthday USA, you relatively young, imperfect nation full of hopes and dreams. Thank you for a federal paid holiday of relaxing in the sun, sipping on lemonade, and enjoying great company. xoxo
