A PR Pro’s Weekly Round-Up – for the week ending April 17, 2009

April 18, 2009 – Another busy week at JS&A!  As our company grows and our client’s needs expand, we are busy adjusting to ensure that we continue to work hard while providing quality work and meeting our deadlines.  

It’s Saturday night, just after 10:30pm and I’m sifting through emails and researching information to help us tackle the week of April 20^th!  But alas, I am ahead of myself – this is a round-up blog, so here  is a glimpse at some highlights from the week:

Monday – April 13^th

Arbinet announces the appointment of Robert M. Pons to the company’s Board of Directors while also appointing David Reymann as Chair of the Audit Committee.

JS&A’s Article about the history of the first TransAtlantic submarine cable was posted online to TMCNet’s Dark Fiber Community, sponsored by Allied Fiber.

Tuesday– April 14^th

Mzima announces that “Corelink Data Centers Selects Mzima Networks To Connect its Phoenix, Las Vegas and Seattle Facilities With a High-Performance Transport Network.”

Wednesday – April 15^th

I overlapped calls again!  And how lucky was I that one of the calls got postponed (did I know that was going to happen all along?)

Facilitated two client media interviews while also participating in 2 client weekly calls – I just realized that’s half my day right there!

AND delivered, 2 days early, a client’s request for a 6 month summary of activities.

Deal-Center is open for the Telx CBX 2009!

Thursday – April 16^th

Uh-oh, I didn’t plan this day as well as I could have.  2 personal appointments scheduled, but luckily – as I showed up 45 minutes early for the first one, it was done within 30 minutes, providing me ample time to be completely available for clients.  

And, I was also able to take a quick prospect call and managed to schedule a more detailed meeting for next week.  

More research, outreach and PR strategic thinking – still have a lot of writing to do – still.

Oh and that Exclusive Media Event we’re helping to plan for our client, two more journalists in!

Friday – April 17^th

The 3^rd ITW delegate newsletter is sent out. 

Mzima Networks offers Streaming Media attendees $200 off registration and/or unlimited FREE expo passes – The conference is May 12-13, 2009 in NYC.

Much of the afternoon was spent tying up loose ends and working on projects started earlier in the week, but I have to admit, with the hoopla over Ashton Kutcher’s win over CNN Breaking News to be the first to get 1 Million followers on Twitter distracted me (twitteraire, twittermillionaire – the phrase will be coined soon!).  In case you missed it, you can still follow them on twitter:  @aplusk (Ashton Kutcher) and @cnnbrk (CNN Breaking News) and just in case you were curious – @Oprah is on now too – inspired by Ashton Kutcher – Twitter is still a business tool – really.  

Back to business though, late afternoon a new project came in.  And we all know what that means, right?

Writing?  Oh yeah – still have the weekend.

Saturday – April 18^th

So, here I am.  Now after 11pm plugging away; no I did not write this in 30 minutes, late at night I have a tendency to multi-task.  Sorting through and filing emails, today we switched our servers.

p.s. In the company’s switch to a new mail server, I lost all of my calendar entries.  I’m re-building as much as I could now, but please accept my apologies in advance if I happen to have forgotten a commitment with you.  

p.s.s. I would have contacted you, but with the change over to our new email system, I forgot to save all of my contact details, and that could have been you.  So please – send me your details again, an outlook version is more than acceptable!  Email me at Ilissa@jaymiescotto.com

p.s.s. Just got an email from a co-worker, guess I’m not the only one crazy enough to spend my Saturday night working!

p.s.s.s. My 2 writing projects?  There’s still Sunday and Monday, right?

11:23pm and will begin to post

11:33pm and about to post
