The Manning Bowl
By Julie Smith
Peyton and Eli Manning are two NFL players that happen to be brothers and that happen to have a father whose name is known within the NFL world: Archie Manning. He used to be part of this beautiful sport as he used to be a quarterback for the New Orleans Saints. But these two brothers play for different teams: Peyton plays for the Indianapolis Colts and Eli, who is the younger brother plays for the New York Giants. These two quarterbacks had to play face to face last Sunday, when the Indianapolis Colts visited the New York Giants in an inter-conference battle. Peyton is a two-time NFL MVP and a six-time Pro Bowler. Last season he threw for 3,747 yards and 28 touchdowns with just 10 interceptions for a rating of 104.1. Meanwhile Eli has passed for 3,762 yards and 24 touchdowns with 17 interceptions for a quarterback rating of 75.9 in his second year in the league.
But last Sunday, Peyton excelled by getting four goals by Adam Vinatieri to escape with a 26-21 triumph in the highly anticipated marquee game of the league's opening weekend. The Indianapolis Colts were leading 13-0 and 16-7 in the first half as Peyton Manning threw a second-quarter touchdown pass to tight end Dallas Clark and Vinatieri provided three goals. But the New York Giants didn't wilt. They played efficiently all along, with tailback Tiki Barber amassing

Online Pressrooms Are Great Media Resources
Every business with a website should have an online pressroom. A pressroom is where journalists go to get information about the company. If the information is organized, quick to scan and easy to find, the company increases its odds of finding itself in print.
What does the media expect to find in the pressroom?
In a recent interview with iPressroom.com, Wall Street Journal Technology Columnist Walt Mossberg voiced his expectations of

Eye-Catching Studies Propel Messages
Eye-catching studies propel messages into the headlines, and in some cases, even continue to keep them there.
In April, 2002, The Clorox Company headlined its release "First In-Office Study Dishes The Dirt On Desks," with a sub-head "Researchers Find Average Desk Harbors 400 Times More Bacteria Than Average Toilet Seat."
The release, distributed by Market Wire, highlighted the "Bacteria Buster" findings by University of Arizona germ guru Dr. Charles Gerba. One such finding was that bacteria levels took a free-fall jump off a steep cliff, as in a 99.9% drop, if surfaces were treated with disinfecting wipes once a day.
Of course, that meant a pithy paragraph about Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, as a...
What Message Is In Your Photo?
A photo is a quick message and is worth a thousand words.
At first glance, Karl Rove appeared meticulously groomed when his photo hit the cover of Time, July 25, 2005. He wore wire rims, sported a fresh haircut and was dressed in a starch-white shirt and a dark charcoal suit. He had an American flag in his lapel. His power tie was red with perfectly spaced tiny white dots. However, his collar was creased.

Blogs Are New PR Tool
The word "blog" is still a mystery to most, which may be why it headed the list of most looked-up words in the last 12 months in the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, thereby claiming title to "Word of the Year 2004," awarded by that publisher.
That's not blog's only claim to fame.
Technorati, a blog analysis firm, reports an estimated 4.8 million blogs populating our cyberspace or blogosphere.
Further, a blog is born every 5.8 seconds...
Keep Your Eye Out For Blogs
The time for blogs is here - for business and just about everyone.
What is a blog? It's an online journal, a diary for everyone to see. It's a posting of observations, stories, news, tidbits, commentaries, how-to's, tips, and whatever else the "blogger" wishes to put out there in the blogosphere.
Blogs attract a self-targeted audience of readers, thereby becoming a powerful way of sharing ideas, expertise, news about products or services.

How Do You Measure Public Relations Success?

Business Can Profit From A Well-Done Press Release
In the dot.com world, the traditional press release is believed dead.
However, in the dot.dollar world of business, not all agree. For example, PaineWebber might not think so. Last year, a single mention in the Chicago Tribune led to over 1,000 requests for their guidebook for savvy women investors. All told, their media relations/investors education program attracted over 90,000 new clients...
PR Pushed Harder To Demonstrate Bottom-Line Value
With budgets slashed to the bone in a tough economy, business clients, large and small, are pushing public relations experts harder and harder to demonstrate bottom-line value.
Can it be done?
A donation of $20,000 in Christmas gifts for needy families spotlighted on The Oprah Winfrey Show produced $13 million in holiday sales and a fivefold increase in perceptions that Sears, Roebuck and Co. was a neighborhood asset.
Says who and how did they prove it?
Delahaye Medialink, a professional measurement vendor, reported the findings, which included a 59% to 70% increase in...
Email Can Be Quick PR Tool
This past spring, the online Wall Street Journal reported that the average piece of priority mail took 2.7 days from drop-off to delivery.
A quick email takes seconds.

A personalized email can alert particular customers to a new product or service. A quick email can give a heads up to a special sale or extra discount to regular clients.
Carefully targeted, these emails, over time, can help you build...

The Marketing Communications Plan
Public Relations is all about getting your message out, in a way that builds relationships, that builds trust. PR is about packaging and targeting your story, quite often through the media. PR is about identifying audiences and issues. PR is about changing attitudes and motivating behavior. Mix in some marketing research data and paid advertising, along with some customer-driven goals and strategies, and suddenly a new term pops up - Marketing Communications.
Marketing Communications stares directly at the bottom-line and thinks dollars - in revenue, in expenses, in net profit. However, without a plan, marketing communications is...
110 rushing yards and backup Brandon Jacobs 54 more, and Eli Manning threw touchdown passes to wide receiver Plaxico Burress in the second quarter and tight end Jeremy Shockey in the third quarter. When Brandon Jacobs ran for a one-yard touchdown with just more than eight minutes to play to match the one-yard touchdown by Colts tailback Dominic Rhodes earlier in the fourth quarter, the New York Giants were within 23-21. But Eli Manning threw an interception to Indianapolis Colts’ cornerback Nick Harper on the Giants' next possession. That came one play after a controversial offensive pass interference call on wide receiver Tim Carter negated a first down. That led to Vinatieri's fourth goal, from 32 yards, with 1 minute 12 seconds to go, and the Giants ran out of time on their last-gasp drive. Peyton Manning who completed 25 of 41 passes for 276 yards with one interception, said he was proud of his brother, that he enjoyed watching Eli playing in person and that his younger brother was as good as he looked on TV. Eli completed 20 of 34 passes for 247 yards, losing a fumble in addition to his one interception.
