The Wit and PR Wisdom of Mark Twain

The Wit and PR Wisdom of Mark Twain | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) is one of America’s favorite writers and humorists. Born in Florida, Missouri two weeks after the appearance of Hailey’s Comet in 1835, he would have made the consummate PR pro.

To: Hiring Committee, Goldman Sachs From: Barry Ritholtz Re:  Position, Head of Public Relations, Goldman Sachs Date: February 13,...

 

Now that your public relations chief, Lucas van Praag is (finally!) retiring, it is time for the executive committee to seriously rethink the position of PR head. To be blunt, your efforts have not been up to the level of excellence that one would expect from Goldman Sachs. It would be impolite to speak ill of the job done by LVP has done under challenging circumstances, but you gentlemen need to face the facts, and fast. On his watch, the firm’s reputation has suffered, its ability to recruit top talent has been compromised, and its market cap has gotten shellacked....
