It’s Time to Engage: Please Help Share the News

I can’t believe the day is finally here. In fact, it’s here earlier than planned.

Please join me in celebrating the official release of Engage: The Complete Guide for Brands and Businesses to Build, Cultivate, and Measure Success in the New Web

Social media has democratized influence, forever changing the way businesses communicate with customers and the way customers affect the decisions of their peers. With platforms like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook, anyone can now find and connect with others who share similar interests, challenges, and beliefs—creating communities that shape and steer the perception of brands. Without engagement in these communities, we miss major opportunities to shape our stories.

This is Your Time to Engage

I’m truly excited to share some big news with you…

You are invited to the official debut of my next book Engage at SXSW Interactive.

On Saturday, March 13th at 11 a.m., I will take the day stage along with a special guest to discuss the book and its inspiration, intentions, and aspirations. A signing will immediately follow. To RSVP, click here.

To commemorate the release of Engage, I created a special introduction for all to enjoy and hopefully share.

UPDATED

I’m truly excited to share a bit of news with you…

While this isn’t the formal launch of my new book, today represents a significant milestone for me.

As of today, Engage is available for pre-order on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Books a Million, and Borders, with shipments expected to arrive sometime in mid-to-late February. Other sites will go live soon.

Putting the Public Back in Public Relations is Now Back in Stock

When Deirdre Breakenridge and I initially heard that book stores were reporting that Putting the Public Back in Public Relations was out of stock, we suspected a distribution hiccup was at root of the issue. While it’s never good news to hear that customers cannot get their hands on the very object in which we dedicated and invested over a year of our lives, Deirdre and I were elated to learn that the month-long dry spell was actually due to the book literally selling out around the world.

Updates: Putting the Public Back in Public Relations

Deirdre Breakenridge and I are both proud and humbled by two recent landmarks for our book, “Putting the Public Back in Public Relations” and we owe the thanks to you.

1. The rights to translate and publish the book in Japan were solidified last week.

2. The book is currently in its second printing.

We’re looking forward to the book reaching as many as countries as possible as its message and benefits are indeed global.

You’ve probably noticed a few things different here…

I’d like to take a moment to recognize someone for his exceptional dedication and hard work over the last several months.
