#MediaMonday – Stuart Cassidy
Scott Hanson | Dec 22, 2014
Since it’s Christmas week, today’s Media Monday is all about Santa Claus. It’s not about uninhabited Santa Claus, Ariz., which is 14 miles northwest of Kingman. Nor is it about Santa Claus, Ga., which has several Christmas and reindeer-themed street names: Candy Cane Road, December Drive, Rudolph Way, Dancer Street, Prancer Street, and Sleigh Street. […]

Shticks That Work
Scott Hanson | Dec 2, 2014
While watching the local news recently, I thought it was interesting that KPNX-TV’s (NBC) weekend weatherman goes by Dr. Matt Pace. Commendable, for sure, that he has earned his PhD. I don’t ever remember another broadcaster going by “Dr.,” other than former coach and National Basketball Association TV analyst Dr. Jack Ramsey. So – I’m […]

#BookClub: Glove Affairs
Scott Hanson | June 19, 2014
We’re in the middle of the baseball season. Of course, a book given to me by Abbie would have something to with America’s pastime. How could Glove Affairs, the Romance, History and Tradition of the Baseball Glove, by Noah Liberman, have anything to do with public relations? Well, it’s a stretch. Like a wide throw […]

First the Egg
Scott Hanson | June 6, 2014
Last month, Abbie discovered a blog that detailed five children’s books every business person should read. I drew First The Egg, by Laura Vaccaro Seeger. It’s all of 28 pages, including the title page and the copyright page. First the egg then the chicken. We can all break through on our own. First the tadpole […]

#MediaMonday – He’s simply known as “Coop”
Scott Hanson | Dec 23, 2013
Bruce Cooper has been the weekend sports anchor at 12 News, KPNX-TV, since 1986. That’s two years before I started as the weekend sports anchor at KPHO-TV. Obviously, Coop is still on the job. I first remember meeting Coop when we were each representing our stations in the media bracket of a Fiesta Bowl 3-on-3 […]

#MediaMonday – Chris Bishop
Scott Hanson | Dec 9, 2013
I had the chance to travel to South Africa last April for our twice-yearly PRGN meetings. HWB Communications, our network partner in Cape Town, arranged to have Chris Bishop, managing editor, Forbes Africa, as one of our speakers. It was an amazing talk, not only because he is an editor with Forbes, but the fact that as a journalist, his life […]
