The Youngest in Charge: GenZ is IN the Building


Young Prince Charles
Generation Z's Newest Ambassador
In today’s music industry there is no lack of entertainers. What is becoming extinct, however, is the artist…the innately creative entity that finds its way to the mainstream surface with a product that has some real depth and life to it. Thankfully, every few years that entity emerges and brings with him a fresh and organic take on everyday life that has the rest of us exhilarated by the possibilities. This time, that artist is Young Prince Charles.
As the sentiment goes, age is just a number or you’re only as old as you feel. This has to be true as it relates to Young Prince Charles because he’s one of the youngest recording artists currently on the scene who is already navigating a veteran’s path to professional success. He’s ten…in human years. Born Charles Jones, III in Richmond, Virginia in June of 2001, the young talent possesses a style and personality that has caught the attention of the right people at the right time. 
Young Prince Charles is holding his own among the new class of superstars and is becoming a tastemaker himself. As a seasoned stage performer with coming-of-age hits like “Check Yes or No”, an ode to a starry-eyed young girl, he has opened concerts for uber-successful teen acts like Young Tyga, Lil Twist, Soulja Boy, Mindless Behavior and hip-hop’s royal son, Diggy Simmons.  They are the voice of Generation Z and they’re setting trends and influencing their peers by their music, fashion and way of life. Young Prince Charles fits right in…literally. Always thinking, creating and living outside the box. Young Prince Charles wowed that audience as the headliner at the UniverSoul Circus in March 2012. A month later, he performed at the Southeast Urban Music Conference in Charlottesville, Virginia--captivating the crowd with his skills and always-present charisma.

MAKE YOUR PASSION YOUR POSITION


FREEDOM IS...LIVING PURPOSE-FULLY...LOVIN WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU DO!






No tips or smart articles about how to execute better media relations, craft compelling pitches, or place a great article. Not today. Today I just want to share a very simple thought with all of you. Are you in love with your future? I am...so much that sometimes I can't sleep at night because I'm so anxious to see what tomorrow brings. I suppose you could say that I'm passionate about my life.

The word passion gets thrown around so freely and frequently...like "love" or "bling" (I hate that word!). But I have difficulty finding a word that accurately expresses how I feel about my life and where it's headed. This may sound strange, but the reason I'm so gung ho about myself is because I'm doing things I genuinely enjoy doing. Nope...I didn't hit the lottery. I'm largely referring to my career and the network of people with whom I associate. I do pr...well...most of you know this already because I've pretty much incorporated it into my name. "Hi, I'm Jennifer...I do pr!" What I'm saying is that I am working in the field that moves, exhilarates and challenges me--and almost daily opens me up to new experiences, people and information. And I get paid for it--therefore affording me opportunities to travel and see places many have only experienced through pictures. This is what freedom feels like for me!

So my initial question remains: Are you in love with your future? If you get up everyday excited about what you're going to tackle at the office each day, proud that a news producer wants to interview your client, gushing because your pitch resulted in an appearance on FOX news, or elated because your client just performed in a show with David Guetta and it's featured on a top entertainment blog, then you understand where I'm coming from.

Life is too short to go through each day praying for it to be over. Dig deep inside yourself and find something that moves you--energizes you and makes you feel taller than Shaq. It's there. It's in all of us. You have a purpose and it's your responsibility to cultivate and nurture it so that you can be all you're destined to be. Find your passion and fall in love with your future. I give you my word that you won't stop smiling once you do...even on the days when life reminds you how hard it is. Fall in love with yourself and live your wildest dreams...your life depends on it!

10 Ways PR Can Affect (in a good way) Your Bottom Line

YUMMY PR TIPS: INTERNAL PR CAN BOOST YOUR COMPANY'S VISIBILITY AND IMPACT YOUR BOTTOM LINE!




#4 IS THE NEW BLACK!

Published by PR Daily 
Courtesy of Amanda Horn, Abbie Agency

1. Seek and apply for industry awards. Seems simple, right? Local, regional, national, small business, big business, best place to work—awards abound at many levels. There are some awards for which few people even apply. When your client is nominated, tell everyone and get them to vote. Recently, our client Campo, a popular new restaurant in Reno, won 11 local awards. The power of PR helped rock the vote.

2. Foster an emotional connection through the back-story. Finding the interesting story about your client takes more than a one-hour onboarding meeting. It’s often during the idle chatter when they reveal the most intriguing details—the ones that lead to feature stories.

3. Host a big event or partner with someone who is. Think about how a smaller business that isn’t resource-rich could piggyback off a bigger event you’re producing or one that’s being produced by a colleague. This kind of partnership benefits both parties involved. For example, combine a ticket giveaway for the event with an in-store promotion at a smaller local business.

4. Position them as an expert. Sometimes the best placements you can get are the ones secured through your client’s voice. Expert columns are more than fantastic submissions; they work overtime as great pitching tools.

5. Develop a corporate social responsibility profile/program. Combine an event with a charitable cause. People like to be entertained, and they love to feel good. Plus, helping your local food bank increases everyone’s karmic profile.

6. Have fun and/or add value through social media. Remember that social media defines a brand’s personality. Generally, people go to social media for fun or value. Sometimes you can combine the two. Give advice, ask for captions, lighten moods with inspirational quotes. Engage your audience in ways that make sense for the brand.

7. Stay updated on news and current trends. Account management requires lots of research on an ongoing basis. How do our clients fit into what’s happening locally and nationally? What’s the competition doing that’s working or not working? While no one expects you to be an expert on every aspect of each client’s business, to be successful you must be damn close.

8. Keep others’ posted about newsworthy events. OK, some clients think sneezing requires a press release. Our job is to filter what’s tweetable (a really big sneeze) from the jewels that make news.

9. Create a successful social media campaign. Set a goal, research the audience, and get savvy with your approach. For one of our clients Oxygenics, we had to get 10,000 fans in 90 days. We partnered with bloggers to do reviews and host giveaways. But to find those people we had to research and dig deep. It worked.

10. Build relationships with your customers. Finally, the most basic and grassroots level public relations is not media-based; it’s relationship driven. The “word-of-mouth” (WOM) effect makes or breaks businesses, and yes, that WOM gains momentum via today’s myriad social media platforms. Not only does this pertain to the relationships that our clients build with their customers, but also for the relationships we maintain with our clients. Do so with integrity. Be honest, treat everyone with equal respect and importance, and be authentic. The work we do is foundational; we cannot build our castles or others’ out of sand.

Earned media works. For all the measurement tools we have, the results that matter manifest in the bottom line.
