Thanks for the blog post.
This talk for PRSA SW District is completely new from the ground up! To highlight the power of social media, I am working on a comparison and contrast between a 1920’s PR campaign and how the same campaign might unfold in 2008 using social media. Having read a ton of PR history, I am both excited and hopeful to present this one!
