When we think about Public Relations, a lot of questions come to mind. As a craft beer business, should you care about public relations? And what the heck does "public relations" really mean? How can you get started with PR??? So many questions... In short, YES! You should absolutely care about PR. To help us understand why and to unpack this marketing concept for the craft beer industry, we're joined by Kevin York. Kevin is one of the few people who has done PR, social media, and content marketing at both the strategic and tactical levels. Prior to founding KYC (Kevin York Communications), he worked at Edelman Digital and Voce Communications, a Porter Novelli company, where he served as head of Porter Novelli's global digital technology practice. He also founded and managed The Couchletes, a national sports editorial site with seven regional writers. KYC is hosting a new conference all about marketing in the craft beverage industry called Beer Amplified. The idea is to bring marketing people from lots of different industries (not just beer) and have them share their insights to craft beer industry people. The conference takes place this March in Boston.

American consumers love authenticity, even of the manufactured variety. A recent study by Edelman Digital found that 40 percent of millennials prefer to buy from local businesses regardless of additional cost over mass-market alternatives. Companies are finding innovative ways to meet the demand for locally produced products by marrying the power of the global supply chain with the art of storytelling. From artisanal luxury wear to sustainable furniture, the barriers between 'manufacturing' and the maker's movement are becoming blurred. What do labels like “Made in America”, “Made in China”, or “Fair Trade” really mean? And if what you're creating is a brand – is this a trend or a new economic reality?

Blockchains are databases that maintain a continuously growing list of data records that are hardened against tampering and revision, even by operators of the data store's nodes (according to Wikipedia). If you've heard of them, it's most likely because you've done some reading about Bitcoin, the increasingly popular cryptocurrency. But Phil Gomes -- senior vice president at Edelman Digital -- sees beyond the Bitcoin connection and forsees the adoption of blockchains in the practice of public relations. In this FIR Interview, Phil discusses the blockchain-PR connection.Continue Reading → The post FIR Interview: Phil Gomes on blockchains and PR appeared first on FIR Podcast Network.
