Don’t You Wish You Were Me?

In CA for meetings today. Figured I’d head out and skydive all morning.
It’s cloudy as anything. No skydiving. So I sit here, at the makeup counter/mirror of my suite, working. I could do this from home. I don’t need to be a suite to do it.
“Wow, Peter, you get to travel all the time! It […]



I Have Met the Enemy. And He is Us.

So today is Friday. I was all psyched today. I’d go out and find another Happy Friday Video to post, it was going to be a chill, relaxing day.
Then yesterday, a good friend of mine, a senior reporter for one of the largest daily papers in the country, asks me to post a query to […]



Fortunate timing for the US Treasury, huh?

You know, had the US Mint issued their new five dollar bill either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday of this week, the most play it would have gotten was perhaps a reporter doing the math to figure out how many of them Spitzer would have needed for two hours with Kristen.
So fortunately for them, Spitzer resigned […]



Next on Good Day NY: Screw You!

Anyone see this? Insane. Better than when John Roland went off on a homeless woman in the 80s! Watch to the end. Awesome.

Making this stupid day just a BIT less crappy

For everyone who believes, like I do, that February 14th is no different than any other day with the exception of the morons who believe that they’re supposed to go out and buy flowers today instead of any other regular day just because mass-commercialization has told them to, I present this, found today and sent […]



Mega Ad Age Hit…

This story on Disaboom, out this morning in Advertising Age, simply rocks.
Nice way to start the week.
Well, that and a grilled cheese, bacon, and tomato sandwich on wheat toast from Tasos Restaurant. Or two.



So I get this phone call…

So my mobile phone rings yesterday afternoon, from a restricted number, as I’m walking through CVS to pick up more Ibuprofen for my broken rib.
I answer it, and find myself talking to some woman who claims to be the “head of Profnet,” who tells me that me that I’ve been stealing reporter queries and posting […]



Good Karma PR

It’s nice to do a favor for someone - if I can get them press, I will. If I happen to sit on their advisory board when I do it, all the better.
The Scott-e-Vest on RawVegas last week at CES. It’s not CNN… But then… Scott’s not Larry King, either. So it all works out.



Monday Morning “Where the hell is my coffee and eggs?” edition

Good morning. How’re you all handling that massive snowstorm that hit the east coast overnight? 5-7 inches of snow, enough to cancel meetings and put the rush-hour into turmoil, huh? It was so bad, that…
Oh, wait.
So this morning finds us with an interesting editorial from Ad Age’s media guy, Simon Dumenco, asking whether or not […]



Massive Client Hit

Killer hit this morning in the NY Times for Disaboom, a relatively new client. The nicest part is that it took about a month - the client understood this, and got that solid PR is not an overnight process. If you find yourself lucky enough to work with clients who understand timing, like mine do, […]
