Martin Waxman and Gini Dietrich again join me for today’s episode of Inside PR after my solo effort last week.
This week, we have a chance to ask Martin about the just-announced merger of his firm, Palette PR, with Communications MECA to form a new company Energi PR.
We also discuss the reaction to Gini’s recent blog post in which she suggested that conference speakers shouldn’t show up in jeans. Many people feel strongly about this and they express their views, not always in polite terms.
Here are the complete shownotes.
