My colleagues and I attended Business Wire’s “Meet the Media” event on May 3, 2012 at the Westin Waltham Hotel. The event was geared towards PR professionals looking to learn directly from local reporters themselves about the latest trends in journalism especially in todays’ ever-growing Digital news world, what kind of news editors are looking for, and how to effectively…
After attending the Mobile Cluster seminar held by the Mass Technology Leadership Council in Cambridge, MA on Thursday, April 12, we can confidently say yes. Leading the seminar/discussion was Teresa Epperson from Alix Partners.

As we all know, Google’s privacy policy changes took effect last Thursday. And not surprisingly, it’s fueled a healthy dose of discussion and criticism.

Pinterest is today’s hottest social networking site and a visual person’s dream (says this visual person), with a user community that drives more referral traffic than Google+, YouTube and LinkedIn combined. Named Best New Start-up by TechCrunch last month, Pinterest went from cult hit to household name with 10 million users seemingly overnight.

CHEN PR and Scratch Marketing and Media brought together a world-class panel matched with a very hot and timely topic to deliver a lively MIT Enterprise Forum Innovation Series event last night.
