RepMan: Hard-selling a soft-sell solution for Corporate America

RepMan: Hard-selling a soft-sell solution for Corporate America | Public Relations & Social Media Insight | Scoop.it
I believe comedy is the next BIG thing for corporate and employee communications. Why? Because comedy is based on the two most fundamental criteria in any communications program: truth and authenticity.

 

Learn comedy's twin tenets and you'll become a better, more authentic storyteller. Period.

25 Things You Should Know About Transmedia Storytelling

25 Things You Should Know About Transmedia Storytelling | Public Relations & Social Media Insight | Scoop.it

Let’s get this out of the way, now — this, like many/most of my other lists, could easily be called “25 Things I Think About Transmedia.” It does not attempt to purport concrete truths but rather, the things I believe about the subject at hand.
