Your post will surely provide insights to freshers and these hold true all over the world, even in the country like India where PR is still not as hot as advertising.

I will visit your blog too soon. wallydownundy, I love the name..! I remember visiting it last year when I was working on a project for you. 

Bests and take care.

		<description>And from the perspective of an advertising account planner, PR is playing an important role in communicating brand values along with traditional advertising techniques. It is not rare, nowadays, to see account planners, and others, working alongside PR people in advertising agencies.</description>

		<description>Thanks, Bill.  I'll point it out to the students. They have been gone for holidays and end of semester.  So, sadly, it will take awhile to get them back.

Take care and have a great holiday!</description>

		<description>I found this to be a very interesting and helpful blog.  I am a PhD student in political science and have campaign, but I have been thinking about pursuing a career in public relations when I finish, but I am not sure what the process is to look for or try to find jobs in public relations.  Is there a certain way to go about finding jobs in this field?  Thanks!</description>

		<title>Comment on The Blur Between Direct Marketing and PR by Dale Wolf</title>

		<description>It appears that most of the commenters on this posting see the blur as useful. I do too. In fact, when the various marketing communications teams set themselves as independent silos, fighting one another for budget and resources, it is clear that the leader at the top has lost sight of the real corporate objectives. 

But internal silo issues happen every day in the life of complex companies run by ambitious people. Perhaps nowhere is the family feud so great as between marketing and sales. If you are not aware of this problem and how it will affect your careers after graduation, Google the subject and you will come back with reams of articles about how these two departments that should be fused at the hips are at virtual war with one another. A recent venture capitalist suggested that if you could come up with a way to resolve the discontinuity, you would have a highly marketable product since every CEO sees this feud as debilitating his/her company.

This may be where the combination of marketing campaign automation software and sales force automation software can help humans bridge the gap. When these products are integrated as with Eloqua or Vtrenz being linked integrally with salesforce.com ... you can see sales reps gaining a better appreciation for the role of marketing and vice versa. 

Common automation tools will begin bringing us all together. The metrics these tools produce are transparent to everyone on the team and if the collaborative spirit is guided well, then the various groups within a company can finally stop the fighting inside and focus on competing externally.

Another example, we are working with a client building a huge portal site that will promote world peace and social justice. The portal is the central figure in this initiative. This is actually being led by the web automation team at the client. But an eZine we are producing for them is just as critical because it too will promote the cause of world peace, but it has as its primary mission to serve in a direct marketing to drive traffic to the portal. Everyone on the team sees the synergy instead of the dissonance.

		<description>Good point!  I completely agree, but I'm not sure I could picture myself on the first day of a job disagreeing with my boss and telling them why.

I think it's all about confidence.  Confidence comes with experience.  Whether it be experience with programs and software or experience with clients.

I think everyone has to take their own path and have their own experiences until they become completely confident in themselves as a professional.  Hopefully it will happen for me sooner rather than later.</description>
