Even though this is one of the cardinal rules of PR — the ones posted to the bulletin board hanging next to your desk — it is often a challenge that falls short of the mark. To really pitch to the local flavor of the tiny town that is home to your client and its customers takes time, research and resources. Before you develop a pitch that only sideswipes the local lifeblood, take a look at the impact Bank of Ann Arbor has made in appealing to its very local client base.]]> http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/05/going-local-bank-of-ann-arbor/feed/ 0 http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/03/giving-back-getting-something-in-return/ http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/03/giving-back-getting-something-in-return/#comments Mon, 14 Mar 2011 14:39:04 +0000 Andrea Trapani http://identitypr.com/blog/?p=3740 http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/03/giving-back-getting-something-in-return/feed/ 2 http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/02/embracing-your-inner-nerd/ http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/02/embracing-your-inner-nerd/#comments Tue, 22 Feb 2011 20:57:43 +0000 Taylor Hulyk http://identitypr.com/blog/?p=3607 http://identitypr.com/blog/2011/02/embracing-your-inner-nerd/feed/ 4 http://identitypr.com/blog/2010/08/video-freeze4friendship/ http://identitypr.com/blog/2010/08/video-freeze4friendship/#comments Fri, 20 Aug 2010 15:05:21 +0000 Taylor Hulyk http://identitypr.com/blog/?p=2934 http://identitypr.com/blog/2010/08/video-freeze4friendship/feed/ 0 http://identitypr.com/blog/2010/07/how-i-spent-my-summer-vacation/ http://identitypr.com/blog/2010/07/how-i-spent-my-summer-vacation/#comments Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:32:31 +0000 Tom Nixon http://identitypr.com/blog/?p=2825 I don’t go on vacation to think about work, but sometimes it’s unavoidable. I just returned this week from a vacation to northern Michigan (yes, that which Kid Rock sings of), and it’s good to be back into the swing of things.
