PR After Hours

This week, we return with the second part of our interview with author and PR veteran Marc Whitt, where we discuss the servant's heart, staying out of the spotlight, and finishing stronger in everything you do. 

Listen to part one of this interview here.

Whitt is the director of media and strategic relations at the University of Kentucky. He is the author of PR Lessons Learned Along the Way: Strategies, Tips & Advice for the Higher Ed and Nonprofit Public Relations Professional (Cherrymoon Media, June 2020).

In its first month, the book remained as Amazon’s #1 book for “New Releases in Public Relations.” It has since been named to PRCA’s “Recommended Read” list and Book Authority named it #1 "Best New PR Book to Read in 2020" and ranked #13 as being among the "100 Best PR Books of All Time."

Host Alex Greenwood's first job in PR was at a university, so you can bet when we saw a great new book out about Higher Ed PR, we just had to learn more. We are thrilled to welcome author Marc C. Whitt!

He is the author of PR Lessons Learned Along the Way: Strategies, Tips & Advice for the Higher Ed and Nonprofit Public Relations Professional (Cherrymoon Media, June 2020).

What role does creativity play in a crisis communications situation? We're going to find out in our premiere Season Two episode featuring our interview with author Nir Bashan, a world-renowned creativity expert. Listen in to hear concrete examples of why creativity can potentially help--or even save--a brand in a crisis.

Nir has taught thousands of leaders and individuals around the globe how to harness the power of creativity to improve profitability, increase sales, and ultimately create more meaning in their work. He has spent the last two decades working on a formula to codify creativity. That formula is found in The Creator Mindset, which has been translated into two languages. He was one of the youngest professors ever selected to teach graduate courses at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and also taught undergraduate courses at the University of California at Los Angeles.

He has worked on numerous albums, movies, and advertisements with famous actors and musicians ranging from Rod Stewart to Woody Harrelson. His work on creativity has won a Clio Award and was nominated for an Emmy.  Nir is the founder and CEO of The Creator Mindset LLC, a company that conducts workshops, consulting, coaching, and keynote speeches at conferences and corporate events.

PR After Hours had a great first season, posting more than 55 episodes! It's been a fun experience, but a little exhausting. So, we will now take a two-week hiatus to recharge the batteries and restock the lounge.

(Okay, okay...we may sneak in a new episode or two during the hiatus, but we will not be interviewing guests again until mid-August, 2020.)

We will be back with new episodes for season 2 in late August 2020. Want to know when we will back first? Subscribe for updates here:  https://prafterhours.com/. 

Also, please don't forget we can use your support, either via donating a small amount to the virtual lounge "tip jar" or by becoming a sponsor. Click here for details. Can't donate? How about posting a 5-star review for the show on Apple Podcasts?

Listen on Anchor.Fm. Please tell a friend about us!

Stay safe and see you soon!--Alex
