Yeah, I was a little surprised this one won, too, actually. It's fine but...it's fine.

This GaryV isn't quite working for me - it's like HipHop 1985, how?

The groups mentioned selling a lot of records in 1985 and most of the groups selling records today weren't around at all in 1985. And the groups mentioned didn't wait 15 years to be successful and it's not a matter of patience, either...if they weren't hits quickly, the label dropped them.

There's a lesson in there somewhere...but I'm not sure the lesson is the lesson Gary thinks it is.

Okay, it's only 4:26am in Burbank - but let me take it one step further. I'll use Steve Garfield as an examplee, because I know him a little...take 'changing the face of broadcasting ' even FURTHER...

WHY do you want to do that? THAT is the target. That's a mission, even...which is why one of the best tools for anyone making media (or anything, really) is a mission statement.

Here's mine, written about 12 years ago but it's worked so so far - My goal is to make original, intelligent, challenging art and to help other people achieve their own artistic goals.

Re: Example of a Great PR Pitch

I think I can see why it wasn't a Seth Godin pitch. A way to go with Seth may have been to wait until you had an interesting story that related to your product - like a suprising metric or how a company used the product...but ya know, remarkable. Then I'd send that story to Seth as a paragraph or so and expect nothing in return...but at least you're trading in the same currency Seth is.

Sending this Brogan makes perfect sense. It's spam but maybe I've been to Hawaii enough where I know all Spam isn't bad. Tom made some nice spam...fried so it tastes like bacon!

Brogan! This is seriously the best list of it's kind I've ever seen; it's like a step-by-step get-your-shit-together guide in list form.

And while you're at it - same complaints on the mobile version that I use on my Helio Ocean - I'd like to be able to share easier.

Thanks for posting this at HuffPo...

Of COURSE there's a Scoble connection, just to defeat any chance I have at claiming Twitter dominance of the story!!!

Amazing. Witness to history. Look how close they are sitting.
