Glad you enjoyed the experience David. As a PR student myself I find it very daunting.

I've got an interview a week from today regarding an Ogilvy internship for my third year of uni and reading your blog and others has made me want the opportunity even more, if that's possible! I really hope I get to experience what you have described because it sounds incredible and like you gained really valuable skills to carry with you in the future!

Re: The Twitter and LinkedIn Breakup

Roger Christie — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 01:40:09 -0000

Certainly an interesting move, Joel. While annoying for those of us who used to sync their tweets with LinkedIn via the #in function...what I find particularly interesting is that the move means users will be forced to spend more time on the LinkedIn platform. From an advertising perspective, this is a smart move for LinkedIn as it can now boost it's user time on site numbers as a drawcard for increased ad rates. If you want to post on the site you now can't do it from Twitter - you have to visit. Watch this space.

So glad you picked this up Koby. It's a brilliant move to pick up on the zeitgeist, which I personally love, but which could be quite polarising esp with more, er, MOR cookie munchers.

excellent article. As a PR practitioner, I wholly endorse Oreo's stance. You can't please everybody sitting on the fence so you might as well land down on one side or another and be done with it. Yeas, it will alienate some consumers but in the end, Oreo will retain those consumers who connect with the Oreo philosophy, ensuring more meaningful engagement in the long run.

While we would love to post the videos online, I think we can all agree that some things are best kept within the family.

Hi
Michael, thanks so much for the comment. Definitely agree with you that there’s
nothing Machiavellian about this particular initiative – this is addressing
previous concerns of information sharing with brands etc. We see a lot of news
and blog coverage about concerns around Facebook’s security and – especially
for some of the more backward thinking sensationalists – the idea of sharing
donor status with a platform that someone may already has a suspicious relationship
with may not necessarily rub them the right way. Silly though, we should all be
donating.

Kieran,

When my children came along, I gave up my Corporate Communications job and concentrated on my family. Eventually, I started volunteering at school where I spent most of my time working in a unit supporting children with special needs. My days are always filled with lots of fun, peals of laughter and I get to experience the purest form of joy from these beautiful children. So I know exactly what you mean. One word of caution; you may not want to go back to your day job once you get used to it.

Michael Shafran — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 05:31:01 -0000

I don't think there's anything Machiavellian about this initiative (other FB approaches are fair game, of course). The main direction seems to be driving people to their donor registration agencies, which is an important choice for each of us to make. There are too many people out there in desperate need of organ transplants, so it's a poor choice to selfishly think of our own privacy. Who's going to care if you've decided to donate all of your organs? This is a case where, when it comes to "privacy" concerns, it's better to err in favour of fulfilling a crucial need for people whose very lives depend on it.

Nowadays digital marketing can do many things such as it gets a quick, concentrated dose of insight into what’s around the corner. It compares annotations with the most ambitious, innovative and interesting marketer. The future of digital marketing is variance not convergence. An ever increasing set of options for business owners and opportunities for digital marketers.

Hi Payge, thank you for your comment, I manage the internship program at Ogilvy PR Australia. Internships not only give you hands on experience but also a great way to get your foot in the door. The best advice I can give you is to be proactive, jump right in and ask plenty of questions. Your position in the company will usually determine on how much public speaking you will do, however it’s a great skill to develop. All the best with your travels to the UK.

Re: The Ogilvy PR experience

Payge — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 02:52:24 -0000

Kristen, im 23 and interested in studying PR do you have any suggestions on ways to get your foot in the door pre-studies? I'm travelling to the UK and am considering applying for reception positions within a PR company for experience. Do all PR positions involve public speaking?

A pink ghetto is better than a grey ghetto (enter the rest of corporate Australia). But surely a speckled pink and grey ghetto is the best alternative of all, given how compatible they are as bedfellows.

Only 12.7 percent of board positions are held by women in Australia. Until we even out this amount, and get a heck more of us represented in senior management positions, the debate might be tedious but the journey to equality is not quite over.
