Musings from our resident storytellers on media relations, communications, the innovation scene, and daily dealings in a one-of-a-kind tech PR firm.
RSA Conference planning is a heavy-lift, to say the least… a process that even drives some to drink, according to last year’s blog post. Side note: that’s a joke. With less than two months to go, though, it’s now that time when CHEN PR starts to pool resources, strategize about conference pitching and begin to […]
From advanced hacking techniques and infamous ransomware attacks to innovative and inspiring advancements in AI and IoT, we weren’t left with many quiet days in 2017. While some businesses may be hoping for a clean slate in 2018, others are looking to build on current and growing momentum. Either way, you can’t help but look […]
With every new cyber attack or breach, the latest victim (just yesterday) being the US Army, we’re constantly reminded that a business’ data and networks are never truly safe. Fortunately, cybersecurity companies and leaders aren’t taking this hazardous and evolving landscape lightly – they’re taking on the challenge by evaluating and understanding the latest threats […]
As I’ve boasted before, one of my favorite things about CHEN PR is the company’s “work hard, play hard” attitude. The agency life – and especially when you’re dealing with a majority of cybersecurity clients – isn’t all fun and games. Last week, for example, the Equifax breach happened. And while you’d think it’d be […]
Every year, the MIT Enterprise Forum of Cambridge (MITEF) hosts an event to highlight the year’s top ten breakthrough technologies, as predicted by MIT Technology Review editors. It’s a fascinating event with interesting speakers, engaging subjects and an inquisitive crowd. Presented by Antonio Regalado, Senior Editor at MIT Technology Review Magazine, the 2017 top ten […]
At least once a year we’re lucky enough to catch up with media guru Sam Whitmore to hear the latest updates about who’s who and what’s new in the media and especially the tech press, as well as learn all the newest trends and opportunities for PR people to maximize our pitching success. Sam wants […]
As my colleague Jennifer recently shared, the clock is ticking until the RSA Conference (T minus 17 days!) and things aren’t slowing down at the small but mighty CHEN PR headquarters. Every year, sometime between Thanksgiving and New Year’s we take a deep breath and send out that first calendar invite to get together to […]
It’s been almost two month now since I completed my second Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), and let me tell you, it was no less exciting, rewarding or exhilarating than the first time around….and I’m basically a professional cyclist now. Ha! As you may recall from a blog I wrote last year, I decided to take on […]
When I first started working at CHEN PR I remember being given the passwords to online subscriptions that we share and thinking, “Are they serious? How do they remember all these?” The passwords would basically look like this: fgEw76^.l21\59LQ4~YaY. I came to CHEN from a non-profit—very far from high-tech and security, to say the least– […]
In case you missed it, CHEN PR has signed back on as the official Corn Hole Games sponsor for The Boston Calling Block Party Series! We had so much fun last year that we couldn’t give up the opportunity to engage in some friendly corn hole competition with our Downtown Crossing neighbors while listening to […]
