Good grammar is a brand ambassador. So are you taking care of your brand by ensuring that your company is writing correctly, not just in English but in any language? A UK study revealed that 59 per cent of Britons would not use a company that had obvious grammatical or spelling mistakes on its website or marketing material, and 82 per cent would not use a company that had not correctly translated its material into English. I think these numbers would be the same anywhere in the world. It's so simple to solve this problem with services which I will detail including Grammarly, Ginger and ProWritingAid. Perhaps the best known is Grammarly founded by Alex Shevchenko and Max Lytvyn in 2009. These services are in English, so do share with me For our French listeners, http://scribens.fr/, BonPatron.com, or for international language checkers who are human, check out Lang-8. I think that you will get the idea, these checkers are available for all languages.If you like this podcast, then subscribe to our newsletter here Please visit our blog post on PR for business please visit our site: https://www.eastwestpr.com/blogs/ Find us on Twitter @eastwestpr Jim James is the Founder and Managing Director of the EASTWEST Public Relations Group.

One near-universal law of psychology is habituation, which means that we stop noticing things we see or hear many times. This applies to company signage too, and as we come out of COVID lockdown we need to refresh the signage which we use to promote our business and to educate staff, partners and customers.Research by the University of Cincinnati showed tangible improvements in business due to signage upgrades by upto 10%. This means that to gain attention we need to keep our signage fresh to avoid habituation, but that the costs should pay for themselves.

As a result they've made accelerated progress on strategic goals, learnt a great deal including how virtual meetings are causing fatigue but also realigning how files are stored and structured, and that ultimately there is still a place for a real office with colleagues in it. MS announced in June 2020 a number of ways to make virtual events less exhausting. The new features include 'Together Mode', which places a live avatar of meeting participants in a virtual setting, and is aimed at making videoconferences feel more natural."It was totally motivated, conceived, prototyped, tested, and realized during the pandemic," said Jaron Lanier, scientist at Microsoft Research, speaking of Together Mode. "I suspect had it not been for the pandemic, it would have been years of testing and development to release something like this." In spite of all this COVID era progress, people still want to go back to the office to see their colleagues.However hard we try, technology isn't going to be as energizing as the physical world in my view because it lacks some basic human needs.

Once this 4th Century monastery was destroyed the Christian community dissipated after 1600 years of continuous inhabitation based around a building and remains of a sacred person.It says something about the need of people to belong and for the leaders of organizations to create symbols, rituals and myths which sustain people.

The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry estimates that trade show cancellations and postponements have had a 14.4 billion euro impact on the global economy in 2020, but in truth it is saving many companies a fortune, and COVID is heralding a new golden age of the virtual event. 20 years ago virtual events were mocked and laughed out of the industry, so it’s great to see them forced back on the agenda. Now is their time to shine and to forge a legacy way beyond the current situation. It’s so much more than rules and governance it’s about human behaviour and virtual events in tandem with live experiences will be here to stay. Jeremy King, CEO, Festival of Media & M&M Global & Virtual Exhibition Institute.At the forefront of these new events are a number of companies which are now offering innovative pricing models for organizers and attendees. Companies like Intrado Virtual Events and Swapcard.com can host Conferences, Exhibitions, Corporate events, and a Congress. Swapcard offers a free app for example to host events.Using Swapcard, Hello Tomorrow increased engagement in 100% of its sessions, 9,413 connections made through the event app, and 804 attendees created their own schedule.There are plenty of other platforms with names like Airmeet, Bigmarker, ConnexMe, Boomset, and Attendify.SmartXpo.com - this for the organisers themselves….providing leading-edge analytics to boost performance and profitability of trade shows, conferences and events. Virtual events create opportunities for business owners to reach out well beyond the world offered by traditional events. Public relations used to rely on events as a platform for engagement, the beauty is that now we can do this without travelling, hotel nights, expense, but more over we can have analytics.On the downside, no getting away from home, no luxury hotel nights, no living on expenses and no way to blame the trade show organisers for lack of results.If you like this podcast, then subscribe to our newsletter herePlease visit our blog post on PR for business please visit our site:https://www.eastwestpr.com/blogs/Find us on Twitter @eastwestprJim James is the Founder and Managing Director of the EASTWEST Public Relations Group.

So why doesn't everyone take advantage of what Scott Brinker calls the 'Second Golden Age of Martech' and the 8,000 services on offer to help them?I discuss the importance of data, and how to collect it, the impact of triggers and when to recognize them, and how consumer sales strategies really are a parallel with media relations.Then I share about 1/8000 which is to Muck Rack’s Public Relations Management (PRM) platform which gives journalists the ability to showcase their pitching preferences right on their free portfolios, and lets PR teams create a system of record for media contact preferences.

In 2020 the world will have more 55-year-olds than 5-year-olds, and yet according to the Havas Group, only about 5% of U.S. advertising is even aimed at people over 50. In this episode addressing the Personalization module of the SPEAK|pr course, I share thoughts on marketing to people who aren't looking to go offline anytime soon.Why is this, but more importantly how can our own businesses cater to the silversurfers who now control 80% of the wealth in western markets like the UK and USA? It's important because this is a major trend; According to the EU, the senior citizens market will grow by 81% from 2005 to 2030 while the 18-59 year old market will only increase 7% I share the true story of how I demonstrated a wireless router and antennae to a woman in her 70's at a campsite in Aberystwyth, Wales, and what that taught me about marketing to seniors. Most marketing is aimed at the young and the impressionable. According to Forrester research, 55% and 54% of those less than 31 and 31-39, respectively, say they “enjoy trying new brands or products.” That number drops to 39% for those aged 54-63 and 31% for the 64-74 set. So is it harder to get old people to adopt new products and services?I argue that it isn't harder, but it does take a different approach and even using technologies like talkify and natural readers. to compensate for the effects of ageing on hearing and eyesight. So thinking back to the campsite…I think the key lessons we can think about when marketing to older generation are: Simplicity, Trust, Support.If you like this podcast, then subscribe to our newsletter herePlease visit our blog post on PR for business please visit our site:https://www.eastwestpr.com/blogs/Find us on Twitter @eastwestprJim James is the Founder and Managing Director of the EASTWEST Public Relations Group.

What gets measured gets done, and PR productivity can be monitored by the Activity Communications Index. On this episode, I share what happened to our public relations activity when I went to wonderful Wales for a weeks holiday with the family.I include the tools which I've used to automate content distribution and the performance of that content in my absence including Repurpose.io and ZOHO. Overall I found that my metrics have held up but that there are sales leads which I should have in my CRM but which aren't for some reason being captured which is an indication that my funnel isn't working properly and that my content strategy needs work. I share that the website is now really only one part of the communications ecosystem that we have to service whilst we are away, and the ACI is a tool which helps to keep a tabs on all the channels which we are using.The ACI formula:content x frequency x channels.On the subject of creating better content, I am excited to be interviewing the Kate Bradley CEO of Lately.ai in an upcoming podcast to explain how I can do this better.If you like this podcast, then subscribe to our newsletter herePlease visit our blog post on PR for business please visit our site:https://www.eastwestpr.com/blogs/Find us on Twitter @eastwestprJim James is the Founder and Managing Director of the EASTWEST Public Relations Group.
