I couldn’t resist: Grumpy Cat made her debut in #nyuStratComm Summer 13 last night.

My snarky take on the popular meme went along with directions for an upcoming assignment’s Extra Credit option. The caption read: Something tells me that Grumpy Cat isn’t exactly what you’d call a “model student.”

The title of the brand new presentation I developed for the NYUSCPS Integrated Marketing Communications Boot Camp (Summer Intensive).

The presentation kicks off with a crisp, clear definition of public relations, as we know it today: Getting people to talk about you (earned media). From there, jobs-related metaphors guide the presentation topics that highlight how PR has grown up over the past couple of years.

pr gets a new job: PR’s transition from a tactical support area to a respected communications function that drives engagement & becomes even more entrenched in the marketing mix.

pr gets a promotion: PR’s role in creating content marketing that is increasingly used to guide social media conversations.

pr gets “a seat the table”: PR earns the respect it has long desired by taking a leading role in developing social media marketing programs that employ community managers who aim for generating results.

Would you pay $10 to watch a Linkin Park soundcheck on your iPhone? How about $25 to watch Kobe Bryant and Nas play one-on-one and exchange raps for charity? The social media app Pheed is betting yes, and musicians are excited about the prospects.

No, Rolling Stone, we would not use Pheed, which is really more of a brocial network than a social one. Let’s not make Phetch happen.

Hmmm. I’m getting a Phunky Pheeling about Pheed.

Hard to believe that New York Magazine’s former editor, Kurt Andersen, created this list in 1997. This language doesn’t seem much different from the stuff we read today.

When I was growing up, I don’t remember All in the Family being a Sunday night sitcom. But for some reason, on this Sunday night, one of the original TV shows “for mature audiences” just keeps popping in mind.

Those were the days, indeed.

RIP Jean Stapleton & Edith Bunker.

“Just as we teach our children how to ride a bike, we need to teach them how to navigate social media and make the right moves that will help them. The physical world is similar to the virtual world in many cases. It’s about being aware. We can prevent many debacles if we’re educated.”

The best response when students — especially those of the grad student variety — claim that they’re too busy to complete projects.

Good life-advice in this fine addition to Tyler Adam Smith’s ingenious project, 100 Books That Should Be Written: Busy Is a Decision by Debbie Millman, a title borrowed from her very real synthesis of 10 hard-earned life lessons.

Luckily, Millman did write an actual book, and a most excellent one at that, of illustrated wisdom on life.
