Phil's Blogservations: PR Policy

Phil's Blogservations: PR Policy

I just got a pitch that said:

I understand you are the Blogger for Phil's Blogservations...
How did that get around?!

Yes... Guilty as charged. Actually, I've been getting a number of pitches lately — more in the past month than I've seen in a year.

So, taking my cue from Mobhappy, I'm posting the PR pitch policy on this blog. I've adopted their "Amber Alert" symbol.

Amber Alert PR Status

This is especially useful at this time since I'm working on some blog-related projects at-and-for Edelman, which may or may not affect my interests here.

I'm interested in hearing your pitch for this blog if:

  • The email you send is clearly sent to me and not to a list.
  • You yourself (or members of the company you represent) actively and thoughtfully blog.
  • You want to open a dialogue about new, interesting, novel, unusual, and most of all ethical PR or communications techniques and practices.
  • You are a blogger or member of the media and you've written/posted something interesting that might have missed my watchful gaze
  • You are a music group that's doing innovative work in metal, rock, jazz, gothic, indie, or experimental. (Bonus points if you're willing to donate a sample of your work for "bumper music" in my to-be-developed podcast in exchange for promotional consideration at the end of the show.)
  • You are a fan of the types of music described above.
  • You are mentioned on my Heroes pages
  • You are promoting blog-, media-, or communications-related events.
That doesn't narrow things very much but, for those of you who haven't started reading this site until recently, the above list pretty much wraps up what consumes this online representation of my lashed-together braincells. Keep watching this space for updates.

COMMENT AND TRACKBACK POLICY

Comments and trackbacks are unmoderated, though I will delete the patently offensive ones.

Any comments and trackbacks are the opinions of the individual writer of those comments and trackbacks, and not those of Phil Gomes, his employer, its clients, or its business partners. If you have a bone to pick, bug the people who wrote the comment or trackback.
