The Unfiltered Message is Still the Main Draw for Many Corporate Bloggers

November 7, 2008 by Kami Huyse Leave a Comment

  I had the chance to interview Vice Chairman of General Motors Bob Lutz a week ago. I posted the interview at the PRSA ComPRrehension blog since I was covering the event for them.  But I think my readers would also appreciate the interview. I was not surprised that his main interest in social media was in how it could help his company get out unflitered messages to the public.  It is immensely frustrating for communication professionals to deal with the often garbled understanding of an issue when it is filtered through read more...

The Strategist and Social Media

November 3, 2008 by Kami Huyse Leave a Comment

Strategy sometimes gets a bad name because it is viewed as manipulation - a killer for relationships.  I mean, who wants to feel as if they are just a part of some grand master plan? However, too many companies are jumping into using the latest technological trends and emerging media opportunities without too much thought as to why they are doing it.

April 2, 2008 by Kami Huyse Leave a Comment

  I am reading Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff's new book, Groundswell.  I plan to do a full review of the book in the next week or so, but I wanted to share this nifty little tool that they are providing on their website.  The only thing that would make it cooler would be an embed code for blogs. That said, here is the Technographics profile for someone of my particular age.

Just in Time: The Filtered Economy Requires Communicators to Anticipate Needs

October 24, 2007 by Kami Huyse Leave a Comment

  First, let me say that this post is a little off topic for a communication blog. However, I think that discussions about how we can cut down on the adversarial relationship between companies and their customers is critical to effective communication. I also fight the idea that a communication professional is only good at getting the word out and should stay out of the business of strategic thinking.  I think that smart communications professionals, with their close contact and understanding of a company's stakeholders belong right in the read more...
