But I Saw It On Facebook!
Posted by Laurie Driggs Fontenot on: April 24th, 2012

Ok, we have all seen it – and believed it at some point – that post that says a celebrity passed away or a photo that showing fast food is made of pink goop only to find out that it is not true. It’s not surprising to me that 28% of people say they get… continue reading
Instant Gratification
Posted by Laurie Driggs Fontenot on: April 20th, 2012

In continuing with my current infographic obsession, let’s take a look at another one that I found recently. In this fast paced world, we don’t like to wait for much anymore.

If you’re like me and you sit in front of a computer and other electronic devices all day, this may interest you. Tell me if this sounds familiar to you… blurred vision, headaches, dry eyes? All of these things can be a sign of CVS (No, not the drugstore), computer vision syndrome. Along with these… continue reading
Timeline Banner Covers … 1st Impressions
Posted by Laurie Driggs Fontenot on: March 30th, 2012

As Facebook converts all Brand Pages to the new timeline format, we’ve been entertained by everyone’s choice for their banner cover. If you’re not familiar, we’re referring to the large image that sits above the wall, and it’s purpose is to represent the brand – what it stands for, the emotions they hope to bring… continue reading
What would you give up?
Posted by Laurie Driggs Fontenot on: March 23rd, 2012

While browsing through articles recently, I found one that had a study on what Americans would give up in order to keep the Internet. I was honestly shocked at some of the things on this list. Apparently, we value the Internet quite a bit in this country. The list ranges from sensible and understandable to absolutely unbelievable… continue reading
PR & Social Media: Neither Are Sales
Posted by Laurie Driggs Fontenot on: February 16th, 2012

“Where is your territory?” — I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this question follow the other infamous question, “And … what is it that you do again?” Marketing is not Sales. Social Media is not Sales. Public Relations is not Sales. I don’t have a territory, and I don’t sell anything. This… continue reading

Ugh, just when I say I have no spare time, they go and create this thing called Pinterest! Okay, so maybe I’m late on jumping behind the “Pin It” bandwagon.

Ring in the New Year

Merry “belated” Christmas to all! I hope it was filled with relaxation, quality time with family and presents-a-plenty! Even though presents are not the “reason for the season,” it’s still a nice touch to the joyous occasion.

Posted by Laurie Driggs Fontenot on: November 21st, 2011

A lot!! Since everyone is on the thankful bandwagon this week (for good reason), I thought I might jump on. Besides, in what has been a busy month … heck, a busy year, it’s nice to stop and reflect on the positives that have kept me afloat during these busy times. Here’s a few in… continue reading
Newbie News: Thoughts From A PR “Noob” on ChapStick!
Posted by Laurie Driggs Fontenot on: November 4th, 2011

Ok people, let’s talk about ChapStick … the original lip-balm. Old school, but always a classic, right? What could ChapStick possibly do to upset you? The other day I read an article about a communication meltdown that happened on ChapStick’s Facebook Page. I was amazed that they handled the situation so poorly. Also, I wasn’t… continue reading
