The Importance of Silence: Sometimes silence is golden, and in this case, a preferred #publicrelations strategy. It was wise of President Biden to remain silent about the indictment of former President Donald Trump.
PR ICON: Katie Cotton, former #communications chief of @Apple and critical strategy counsel to Steve Jobs, who died recently, may be an unrecognized Public Relations Icon for the communications architecture she led for the iPod/iPhone/iPad which helped make Jobs a legend.
Banks Most Desirable Customers Not Satisfied |

Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always NEAR.
Still loved, still missed, and VERY DEAR.
The @Mets distinguished themselves, by alerting the zillions watching, that they are a coming phenom - - something you want to buy tickets for. Smart idea! Let's hope the Mets play as smart in the 2023 season. #SuperBowlLVII#mets#ads
ZILLIONS FOR BASEBALL - ON FOOTBALL!
Other than football itself, the #SuperBowl is recognized for the creative advertising placed by leading companies and watched by zillions! When we think of those ads, we think food, cars, technology, financial services, etc.

The day of visuals arrived decades ago and the President needs to catch up. Even the words, "President Biden," can be made graphically glamorous (based on an op-ed in the @nytimes on February 5, 2023).

3/3 According to the @nytimes, this new #workforce could add $8.3 trillion in global gross domestic product by 2030! Watch out! With a healthier OLDER population, #agediscrimination will be turned on its back!!! There are 92,000 CENTENARIANS in the US! See!

2/3 We need to prepare for the “hundred year lifespan” where #reskilling and #upskilling are going to positively impact our autonomy and most importantly our economy. If you retire at 65 you have an opportunity for a new career with 25-30 years ahead of you.
so that she can be knowledgeable and realistic in her portrayal. One often thinks that backdrops do the trick, but this is a case where the star learning her surroundings comes across accurately on the show. Probably this is the reason it is so successful.
Accurate Portrayal: It was interesting to find out through the NYT story that Lily Collins, who stars in “Emily in Paris,” a TV series, which has her working for a Chicago-based ad agency with a Parisian office, spends a great deal of her time (part of a year) discovering Paris,
If all of those words celebrate our reality, we will have an outstanding twelve months. Keep smiling and achieve the targets that all of those words imply.
I asked some of the members of our team to give me words that will influence the coming year.
