PR Blogs to Check Out

By Robert Pasquinucci, APR

As you likely already have figured out, I don't do president's letters. You don't read them. And there's little I can offer here that you can't read about elsewhere on the page. 

But I did want to bring some interesting things found online to your attention. The first is a PR Blog from Bill Sledzic, a Kent State professor. He has some pretty sharp opinions about PRSA (see the first post).  Do you agree with his thoughts? Check it out:

http://toughsledding.wordpress.com/

While you’re online, have you checked out Cincinnati PRSA member Kevin Dugan's blogs? Check them out:

http://prblog.typepad.com/

http://badpitch.blogspot.com/

Then, there's the Strumpette:

So, instead of reading some cheesy comments from me comparing winter to PRSA, check out these blogs. And send me others you find interesting!

2008 New Sponsorship Structure

By Sarah Pasquinucci, APR

With the anticipation of ground-breaking speakers, unbeatable networking and dynamic events in 2008, we are changing our sponsorship structure to give our sponsors more opportunities.

Our growing chapter includes 260 members – communication going to more than 450 - who specialize in public relations, communications and marketing within corporations, agencies and non-profit. Our meetings fill ballrooms with nationally-known speakers and local experts. Our Web page receives countless visitors, accommodating those seeking information about the organization and the industry.

Please review the opportunities below. With our increased attendance and high-level speakers, we anticipate sponsorships will go fast. So, please contact Sarah Pasquinucci at spasquinucci@cgmarcom.com as soon as possible to secure your spot.

Corporate Sponsor (1) - $1,500 (pro-rated due to start in March)

• One ticket to every monthly luncheon
• $230 value (approx.)
• Right of first refusal for presenting sponsor at the Blacksmiths 2008
• Logo displayed on Cincinnati PRSA Web site for entire year (Jan-Dec)
• Logo on every postcard and meeting reminder
• One program sponsorship of your choice (first come first served re: date)
• $400 value

NOTE: The corporate sponsor availability is a premier offering that will only include one company, agency or non-profit. It will be on a first come, first served basis.

Program Sponsors (2) - must be non-competing businesses - $400 each

Sponsorships can be secured up to 12 months in advance. You can secure a date, a subject (ex: ethics luncheon) or a specific speaker once known. Because of the increased demand this year, we recommend you secure your spot as soon as you can.

In addition to our luncheon sponsorships, we will have additional opportunities such as media day, happy hours, New Professionals events, brown bag lunches and Blacksmith Awards. We will make you aware of these opportunities as they arise.

Sponsorship opportunities are available beginning with our March program (in order to receive full exposure benefits, they must be secured soon).  Our March program will feature Buzz Buse from the Chamber.

Please secure your spot today!

Political Campaigns, Public Relations and

Mobile Technology

What do Hillary, Barack, Mitt and John all need to do to win the White House? What will this mean for PR professionals? Our February speaker will provide some insights. J. David Almacy is the former director of e-communications for the White House will discuss how two-way communications fostered by the Internet is changing political campaigns and PR. David’s presentation will be particularly timely, just one week after “Super Tuesday” and a few weeks before Ohio’s primary.

David is the VP of digital strategy for Waggener Edstrom Worldwide and was honored as one of PRWeek's 40 under 40. Up until last June, David was the White House Internet and e-commerce director, managing all the White House's online communications strategies.  Before joining the White House staff, he was a senior advisor to the deputy secretary of education, and spent five years with C-SPAN, working on the organization’s communications and marketing efforts including traditional, online and youth-marketing programs. He’s also been named one of the “Top 10 Conservative Idiots” by Democratic Underground.com, a distinction which David calls a “badge of honor.”

MARCH 18 - MONTHLY LUNCHEON

Creating National Buzz for Cincinnati USA

Presented by Buz Buse III

At the March 18 luncheon of the Cincinnati Chapter of PRSA, Raymond Buse III -- PR director for the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber -- will explain his vision for promoting the Cincinnati region to the nation and the world, and will detail the creative PR tactics and strategies the Chamber has employed that have captured the attention of USA TODAY, CNN, ESPN, VH1, TODAY, CBS Sunday Morning, Monday Night Football and NBC's Jay Leno.

Much of Buse's work has focused on proactively identifying PR opportunities on the horizon that has led to positive national media coverage of Cincinnati -- strategies that are applicable to many businesses and products. Buse also will explain how the Chamber has worked to package stories through unique angles that have made them compelling on a national level.

Speaker Biography:

In March of 2007 Raymond (Buz) Buse III was named PRWeek’s PR Professional of the Year – regarded as the Oscar of PR – at Tavern on the Green in New York City. That honor came on the heels of being named PR News’ Media Relations Professional of the Year in 2006 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Also in 2006, he was named the PR Professional of the Year by the Cincinnati Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America. From 2005 to 2007 he has earned 19 national PR honors.

Buse joined the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber – the nation’s fifth largest chamber -- in 1991, and since that time he has placed positive stories about the Cincinnati region in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA TODAY, The Washington Post, AP, UPI, TIME, Newsweek, US News & World Report, NBC, CBS, ABC, ESPN, CNN, FOX News, VH1, NPR, the BBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Company and two Japanese networks.

He is best known as the creator of the World’s Largest Chicken Dance at Oktoberfest-Zinzinnati, which has generated worldwide publicity for Cincinnati as a festive and fun place since 1992, and for the Chamber’s zany cicada celebration that garnered global media coverage in 2004. During his career Buse has demonstrated a unique ability to tap the pride and passion of Cincinnatians to create positive stories about the region.

Before entering the public relations field, Buse – a Cincinnati native --earned a number of statewide and national awards from the journalism profession for excellence in writing, editing and photography. He is a 1976 graduate of St. Bonaventure University.

Bateman Team's PR to Save Lives

In 1973, PRSA established a National Case competition, currently known as the Bateman Case Study Competition, which allows students to utilize their public relations knowledge and gain experience in working with corporate businesses.  Through this process, they compete against other universities by researching, planning, implementing and evaluating a particular subject that requires awareness, aiming to reach an ultimate goal.  The winning campaign will provide a foundation for a program used in the future by the sponsoring company. 

This year the project, which is sponsored by Chevrolet, is focusing on the Safe Kids Buckle Up (SKBU) program.  As the only international nonprofit organization dedicated solely to preventing unintentional childhood injury, SKBU wants to target a new, harder to reach demographic.  With a previous focus on children ages 0-10, their new goal is to reach out to children ages 11-14, an age when responsibilities begin to develop and travel begins to occur independently, possibly without the reminder of safety. 

Miami’s Bateman Team of five members plans to reach out to the Oxford community in order to raise awareness of seatbelt safety.  After meeting three to four times a week for a year to work on the campaign, they will meet a deadline this month, and wait to see what the results entail.  In the meantime, they are doing wonderful things in effort to produce a safer, more aware community.

Brianne Flynn, a junior Strategic Communication and Economics double major and returning veteran of the Bateman Team, formally known as Operations and Logistics Coordinator, explains some innovative tactics that they are implementing in our local area. From their research, the team discovered that many of the Oxford children grew up with a strong sense of Miami spirit.  With the discovery of the young students’ admiration for Miami athletes, what could possibly be a better tactic than enforcing the message of safety through their role models? To do so, The Bateman Team brought a group of Miami athletes to talk to the children at Tallawanda Middle School to leave a positive impact and explain the importance of seatbelt safety. 

With a diminutive budget of only $300, the team must plan wisely, explained Flynn. 

Besides creating pamphlets, press releases, stickers, and other means of media attention, containing the message of SKBU, “Don’t forget to buckle up”, the team also spoke with people who are in contact with the children in the area, such as police, doctors, local bakeries, fast food restaurants and established awareness programs in Tallawanda Middle School.  The team also contacted policymakers in effort to entice the need to change the current Ohio seatbelt violations from a secondary offense to a primary offense during this year’s current legislative session. 

Another tactic, which initially stirred controversy, reminds children of the importance of safety every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 3:00 p.m. upon dismissal from school. 

According to Flynn, seventy three percent of “tweens” in Oxford currently have cell phones and communicate via text messaging.

The Bateman Team used this research and came up with the idea to send students a message on their cell phones in text lingo, reminding them, “Don’t 4get 2 buckle up!” 

In addition to teachers at the middle school adding seatbelt safety lesson plans, the team implemented a school assembly, as well as a raffle ticket contest.  The objective for the raffle is that each student receives a number of raffle tickets which must be signed by the driver of the car each time the child buckles his or her seatbelt.  Distributed during Passenger Safety Week, at the end of the week the tickets are collected and a name is drawn to receive a prize.  Donated by the Miami athletic department, the prizes include participation during a Miami basketball game half-time show, a ride on the Zamboni at a hockey game, and autographed Miami apparel and paraphernalia. 

The team is collaborating with Oxford businesses such as Arby’s and Iggie’s, the new bakery & gelato shop uptown.  On Wednesday, February 20th, each drive-thru customer will receive a sticker with the SKBU slogan and logo attached to his or her receipt accompanied by a friendly reminder from the employee to buckle up.  Iggie’s and other bakeries were contacted in effort to use positive association with the children’s love of sweets and the importance of a seatbelt.  Flynn notes that the children see ice cream and cookies as a positive treat and by relating it with a seatbelt, something which is not positive in a child’s mind; they can visualize a positive correlation between the two. 

The Bateman Team is substantially improving our community’s awareness of seatbelt safety as well as developing a professional campaign that could possibly reach national status.  By executing avant-garde tactics and receiving supportive feedback from the community and local businesses, the Bateman Team uses PR to their full advantage.  As they approach their deadline, they continue to reach out to their target demographic of children 11-14 years old.  Flynn describes the process as an irreplaceable experience for the past two consecutive years and something that has enhanced her future opportunities greatly.  After taking a rewarding honorable mention in 2007, the Bateman Team hopes for first place this year.  Regardless of the competition, they are making a huge PR impact on our Oxford community and essentially saving lives.

A Changing of the Tide

By Josh Rodamer, President, NKU PRSSA

As NKU PRSSA begins another exciting semester, many of our members are thinking about graduation.  Over 75% of our 2007 members will be graduating in May 2008.  For PRSSA, this means another group of students will be taking on the leadership roles and responsibilities to continue the growth of this chapter.  Although the spring membership drive is not over, we have already seen a great deal of talented and committed students join the organization.  NKU PRSSA will be an exciting chapter to watch over the next few years, as its potential has more than doubled in the past year.

In the past year our active members have more than doubled.  The Chapter is not only seeing more members at meetings, but more participation in fundraisers, special events and leadership roles.  Also contributing the Chapter’s overall potential are the opportunities our members have.  In 2007 NKU PRSSA had numerous accomplishments. 

In spring of 2007 we sent one member to the National Assembly in Nashville, TN and helped a local Girl Scout troop earn their PR badge.  Before the first class started in fall of 2007 plans were in motion for our members to attend the PRSSA National Conference in Philadelphia. In October, NKU sent its first group of students (eight total) to a conference.  In addition, our members were attended at the IABC Heritage Region Conference in Covington, presented papers at the Kentucky Communication Association Conference in Butler, and raised thousands of dollars through our fundraisers. 

In November of 2007, NKU PRSSA launched Norse PRovisions, NKU PRSSA’s student PR firm.  Norse PRovisions is already making strong ties with organizations in our area and contains amazing potential for growth.  It is great to see so many students in NKU’s PR program taking advantage of these opportunities.

As many of the students involved in our success graduate, we look forward to the future leaders of NKU PRSSA to make the organization more successful than it has in the past.  I personally want to thank all of the PRSA members for their dedication and continued support of NKU’s PRSSA.  Your contributions have shaped NKU PRSSA into what we are today.

Visions Viewpoint

In 2008, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati has set an unprecedented goal of serving 1,375 kids in Greater Cincinnati.  To do that we need YOUR help

Our Mission: To help children become confident, competent and caring individuals through a professionally supported, one-on-one relationship with an effective adult mentor.

Why Should I get involved???  We NEED YOU!!!  You are desperately needed and valued.  Somewhere in Cincinnati there is an amazing young person whose future you can have a positive impact on.  Our young people are in crisis and we as citizens can no longer afford to sit back and wait for somebody else to step in and help.  We have to do it ourselves.  It truly does take a village to raise a child

What does this Commitment entail???  We ask for your time a couple times a month for one year.  Scheduling is absolutely flexible.  We do realize that many of our mentors have busy, dynamic schedules and we will work with you to get you involved. 

Being a Mentor is… First and foremost FUN.  Typical activities include hiking, attending and playing games, biking, movies, going to the park, walking the dog, getting dinner etc.  You will be matched with someone who enjoys similar activities (see the attached flyer) 

Being a Mentor is not… Being a therapist.  You will not be put in the impossible position of working with someone with bigger issues than you can handle.  We work with some of the brightest, funniest and most dynamic kids that I have been fortunate enough to meet.  They just need a little TLC and a positive, caring adult to help them realize their potential

Why Big Brothers Big Sisters???  Simply put, we are the best at what we do.  You will be professionally supported throughout your match and we put the utmost care and thought into who you will be matched with.  We pay attention to detail and will find the right person and family for you to work with

I Want To Get Involved…What Next???  Contact me (Rick Wilson) at (513) 421 4120 x 18 or e-mail me at wilson@bigsforkids.org.  I’ll be more than happy to answer any questions or to meet with you in person.  Also check out the website at www.bigsforkids.org to apply on line.

From among more than 500 entries, a “Best of Silver Anvil” also is presented to the public relations program voted “best of the best” by a panel of judges selected from across the profession and the nation.

PRSA’s Public Relations Professional of the Year Award also is bestowed at the event, honoring one person who represents the best in public relations for 2007. Based on nominations by Silver Anvil entrants, one individual is singled out for making exceptional contributions to a winning program or to the profession overall.
