    I would very like to get a review from you. Please send a note to me. Thanks, Peter! like to much appreciate a review from you!! Thank you!The growing economic power of the Hispanic community in America presents an unprecedented opportunity for savvy PR professionals. When Susana Mendoza joined the Public Relations Review Podcast, with host Peter Woolfolk, she illuminated why reaching this vital demographic isn't just smart business—it's essential strategy."Right now, Latinos make up about 65 million people, approximately 19% of the overall population," Mendoza explains, before revealing the projection that truly demands attention: by 2050, the Hispanic population will reach 100 million. With the annual US Latino GDP hitting a staggering $4.1 trillion in 2023—growing faster than China and India—this represents a market segment too powerful to ignore.Yet many PR agencies still treat Hispanic outreach as an afterthought or special add-on rather than a fundamental component of comprehensive campaigns. Mendoza challenges this approach, advocating for intentional inclusion that recognizes the nuances within Hispanic communities. "The mistake that PR companies make when dealing with Hispanics is thinking they're a monolith," she cautions, noting that cultural differences between Hispanic communities in different regions require tailored approaches.The conversation delivers practical insights on navigating Spanish-language media landscapes, creating family-centered events that resonate with Latino audiences, and building authentic partnerships with Hispanic community organizations. Perhaps most valuable is Mendoza's insider perspective on the current state of Spanish-language newsrooms, which face even greater staffing shortages than their English counterparts. Her advice on providing ready-to-use content and maintaining direct relationships with journalists offers PR professionals a roadmap for successful media placement.Whether you're looking to expand your PR agency's service offerings or seeking to connect with the Hispanic market for your organization, this episode provides the cultural context and strategic framework for meaningful engagement.

    I would very like to get a review from you. Please send a note to me. Thanks, Peter! like to much appreciate a review from you!! Thank you!The media landscape has fundamentally transformed, leaving brands struggling to navigate an increasingly fragmented ecosystem. But according to Michael Kempner, CEO of Mike WorldWide, this transformation presents unprecedented opportunities for those who understand how to leverage today's digital environment.Kempner, speaking with host Peter Woolfolk, reveals how successful PR strategies have evolved from broad-brush approaches to precision-targeted, audience-centric campaigns. "Today you can design media strategies that are very audience-centric," Kempner explains, noting that younger generations have almost entirely abandoned traditional news sources like newspapers. Instead, they curate personalized news environments through digital channels, newsletters, and social platforms.This shift demands a complete rethinking of media strategy. Rather than focusing solely on prestigious publications, brands must understand their audience's entire "media lifecycle" – what they consume when waking up, during commutes, at work, and before bed. Kempner calls this "the new top tier," emphasizing that cable news might reach only 1-2 million viewers while digital platforms collectively reach tens of millions.Perhaps most revolutionary is how AI and predictive analytics have transformed campaign planning and measurement. These tools now enable unprecedented precision in targeting specific journalists, predicting content virality, and demonstrating clear ROI. "If we increase brand love for your service or product by 2%, I can tell you how many more cases of beer you're going to sell," Kempner notes, highlighting how PR can finally prove its value alongside other marketing disciplines.For PR professionals seeking to remain relevant and effective, embracing these data-driven, audience-centric approaches isn't optional – it's essential. The future belongs to those who can integrate earned, owned and paid media strategies with precision measurement to deliver genuine business results in our increasingly complex digital ecosystem.

"If a brand tells me they're the best thing since sliced bread, well of course they would," Sally notes, explaining why personal narratives and multimedia approaches have become essential for building trust in an increasingly skeptical world.Perhaps most provocatively, Sally challenges common fears about AI replacing PR jobs with a powerful insight: "AI won't take your job - but the PR person who really knows how to use AI will." She breaks down practical applications for artificial intelligence in PR work, from content creation to sentiment analysis, while emphasizing the continued importance of human expertise.The discussion also tackles the evolution of online visibility strategies as Google transforms from a search engine to an "answer engine," and why measurement analytics can no longer be optional for PR professionals seeking C-suite respect.Whether you're a seasoned PR veteran or just starting your career, this episode provides the strategic framework needed to navigate the rapidly changing technological landscape of public relations.

    I would very like to get a review from you. Please send a note to me. Thanks, Peter! like to much appreciate a review from you!! Thank you!The power of promotional products extends far beyond simple brand recognition—they create lasting connections that transform awareness into loyalty. Amber Carter, CEO of Loudmouth Marketing, joins the Public Relations Review Podcast to unpack the strategic value of branded merchandise in today's competitive marketplace.Drawing from decades of experience in sales and marketing, Carter articulates a crucial distinction: "Marketing is what you say about yourself. Branding is what others say when you're not in the room." This perspective shifts how we understand promotional products—not as mere logo-bearing trinkets but as powerful tools for creating meaningful brand experiences.Through compelling case studies, Carter demonstrates how thoughtfully selected items can drive specific business outcomes. She shares how personalized snow globes recognized airport employees after a weather emergency, creating emotional connections that lasted long after the gift was presented. At trade shows, unique items like Bluetooth-enabled mugs generated significant leads by creating excitement that translated into business card exchanges. For retail establishments, branded merchandise can incentivize larger purchases, as demonstrated by a Louisiana restaurant that offers souvenir platters with large crawfish orders.Carter also addresses practical concerns facing businesses implementing promotional strategies. For budget-conscious companies, she suggests measurement techniques like QR codes to track engagement and demonstrate ROI. For environmentally conscious organizations, she highlights the growing availability of sustainable and recyclable options. When delivery challenges threaten event timing, she emphasizes the importance of backup solutions to ensure brand moments aren't missed.What truly distinguishes Carter's approach is her emphasis on solving customer problems rather than simply distributing branded items. Whether you're looking to enhance employee engagement, generate qualified leads, or encourage repeat business, the right promotional strategy can deliver measurable results while creating authentic brand connections that advertising alone cannot achieve.Want to transform your brand's promotional strategy?
