Part of any good PR person’s job is to stay ahead of the trends, monitor the news, and find opportunities to educate ourselves and our clients about best practices — AND opportunities to innovate best practices. As such, we read A LOT of interesting (and sometimes pretty random) articles. Here at Geben, we tend to email or IM articles to each other throughout the week. Well, we decided why keep all that goodness to ourselves? Sounds like a perfect blog post! With that said, here are some of our favorite articles from this week:
