Well, how did you do?
Did you treat anyone differently, or were you treated any differently last week? If so, did it have any effect on you?

*Opinion*
It’s interesting that I’ve received reports from several sources about layoffs, however there has been no movement on the website(s) of the agency/agencies in question.
It makes the company look bad by not being forthright about their staff.
It also does a disservice to the individuals who were affected. It has the potential to make it seem that the former employee is still there, effectively creating some confusion as to the circumstances surrounding their departure.
In the end, it’s just bad form, and we’ll leave it at that.

Drake Cooper in Boise is on the hunt for a PR Pro. Think you’ve got the chops for the job? Here are the details:
Drake Cooper is hiring a PR Pro….
Drake Cooper has a crush on public relations. In fact, Drake Cooper loves PR in that note-writing, pull your hair on the playground, heart-doodling kind of way. If anyone out there has the same kind of feelings, let’s talk. We’re looking for someone with 2-3 years of PR loving and a degree in PR, communications or related field; someone who has experience in campaign planning, project management, and social media/digital marketing; someone who is comfortable working with clients, and can do all that with moxie. We need someone who understands that PR is exacting and continuous, who is always plugged in, and who delights in media coverage and interaction.
This job opening was originally posted via Twitter, and here’s the kicker: You may just get style points for responding via Twitter. This was a follow-up from Joanne Taylor:

How’s the Adventure Going?
As you may remember, earlier this year Drake Cooper and North by Northwest were casting a family from the Pacific Northwest for Adventures in Living — an online reality series to be developed for the Idaho Travel Council.
As it turns out, they found their family, and are just past halfway through the vacation/filming.
Among the areas that they’ve either visited or are scheduled to visit: Boise, Banks, the greater Island Park area, Sun Valley, Ketchum, Stanley, McCall, Hells Canyon, Lewiston, Coeur d’Alene, Wallace and Athol (Silverwood).
The full campaign is scheduled to launch in Spring 2010, complete with “Dedicated campaign website, complete with downloadable webisodes, podcasts, online maps and itineraries, e-coupons from statewide participants and communities and more.” They’ve had some good press of the production, including coverage by the Associated Press, NPR, Idaho Mountain Express, Idaho Business Review and more.
If you’d like to follow along with the rest of the trip, take a look at the Adventures in Living updates on Twitter.
It’ll be interesting to keep an eye on the rest of this as it unfolds, and the full campaign kicks off next spring.
