As we are nearing the end of summer, we cannot believe how quickly this year has flown by. It feels like just yesterday that we were penning our business goals for the new year. Has your company reached all of the objectives you have set for it thus far? More importantly, do you have a clear picture of what you are launching, strategizing and gearing up for spring/summer 2011? Your PR plans should be assembled both with traditional media as well as a ramp up of your social media programs. Here is a just sneak peak of what we at Pierce Mattie have been up to this year!
