#MediaMonday – Chrissy May
Alison Bailin | May 21, 2012
Many people in Arizona and beyond have been asking about 202 Magazine, a leading glossy monthly in the Southeast Valley, and its new editor – Chrissy May! This month, we’ve had the great opportunity to spend some time with her as well as put together some articles for the magazine. What have we learned – […]
READ MOREBook Review – Marketing in the Round #mitr
Abbie Fink | May 17, 2012
Admittedly I read the book because my pal Gini Dietrich is one of the writers. And to support her and her writing partner Geoff Livingston, I bought the book even though I knew I would be receiving a copy as part of my Counselors Academy registration. I told Gini I would read it before I […]

Most of us know (and love) Eva Bowen from her many years at the helm of ABC 15’s Sonoran Living Live. Today, she has taken on a new role away from the cameras but still within the media as producer of Outreach Today, an internet-based radio talk show on VoiceAmerica. We welcome Eva here to […]

I had the chance to travel to South Africa in 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 […]

Earlier this month, we noted that Arizona isn’t the only one celebrating a 100th birthday in 2012. Our #MediaMonday profiles happen to be turning 100, too. New to #MediaMonday? There is a full list of our past profiles here. Each week, we profile a member of the media by simply asking them one question – […]

Happy Monday fellow bloggers, Rachel Lilly here. I received the privilege of interning for HMA Summer 2011, and I will be graduating from Northern Arizona University with a degree in Public Relations in just a few weeks! One aspect about NAU that I have come to love is their communication efforts on campus. So I asked Kevin […]
READ MORESneezers, Idea-Viruses and Purple Cows
Stephanie Lough | Apr 12, 2012
Today’s blog comes from our Spring Intern, Katie. Each semester the HMA Intern does a book report. After hearing about this book from one of my professors, I knew I had to figure out what all this purple cow mania was all about. I know what you are thinking. Is that some kind of illness […]

Arizona isn’t the only one celebrating a 100th birthday in 2012. Our (in)famous #MediaMonday profiles happen to be turning 100, too. Yep, our weekly profiles of members of the media from across the globe have reached the 100-post mark – and we think it calls for a little online celebration. So in honor of #MediaMonday’s […]

Today’s #MediaMonday comes to us from the mind and keyboard of Katie Snyder, HMA intern extraordinaire. Some may know him as a classmate. Others know him as a mentor. I know him as Nathan Meacham fellow sports fan and editor-in-chief of The State Press, ASU’s student-staffed newspaper. So, Nathan, time to share! What do you […]

Ballet or basketball? Shopping or Suns? Makeup or Manning? I think it comes as NO surprise I choose the latter of all the options above. I just love sports. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. You know what I also love – other women who love sports, and talking about sports, as much as me. So, it is […]

A Tip for Tuesday – Talk Ain’t Cheap!
Alison Bailin | Mar 6, 2012
Think about Tiger Woods. What images come to mind? Is it that red Nike shirt flapping in the wind as he won yet another golf tournament? All those commercials featuring his mug and high-end brands? Probably not. For me, when I think about Tiger, I think about silence – and then that contrite look on […]
