Praise for PR 2.0
“An ‘easy read’ filled with practical examples of how marketing professionals can leverage these new tools to enhance PR activities. The ‘Interviews with the Experts’ sections were especially useful in helping to highlight how companies have benefited from PR2.0.”
Maura Mahoney, Senior Director, RCN Metro Optical Networks
“P.R. 2.0 is a must-read for any marketing or PR professional. It is filled with expert advice, real-world examples, and practical guidance to help us better understand the new media tools and social networking concepts available and how we can use them for our specific branding needs. This book is excellent for someone who is trying to understand the new web-based media and social networking concepts, as well those who are experienced in applying the new media tools and are curious about what everyone else is doing and what tools are producing the best ROI. This isn’t a book filled with simple tips and tricks--it’s an essential guidebook for the marketing/PR professional to better understand the new media options and how to apply them effectively to achieve results.”
Jenny Fisher, Director Sales and Marketing Operations, Catalent Pharma Solutions
“Wading through the thicket of expanding Internet tools--from MySpace to Facebook, from Twitter to Flickr--is no easy challenge. And once you finally understand these strange new art forms, how the heck do you harness them? Answer: You buy this book. Deirdre Breakenridge knows the Net--how to measure it, monitor it, and use it to maximize public relations performance. Best of all, she explains it in a style that even a Luddite can comprehend.”
Fraser P. Seitel, author of The Practice of Public Relations and coauthor of IdeaWise

A nice book on how public relations has been affected by Web 2.0!, By
This review is from: PR 2.0: New Media, New Tools, New Audiences (Hardcover)
I liked this book a lot. It was well written, and well organized. It provides a public relations slant on Web 2.0. The author calls this PR 2.0. Many PR professionals work in the nonprofit sector. And many of those people don't easily accept change. It takes them a while to turn on a computer and use it. Once it is turned on they then have trouble maximizing the computer's potential. In my humble opinion such workers will benefit greatly by getting a copy of this book and reading it.The author is a marketing consultant with a specialty in PR. After writing this book I suspect her new speciality is PR 2.0. She discusses what is required to go from traditional PR to PR 2.0. She talks about how to embrace PR 2.0 and where the field is going. And I think her book is original enough to justify reading it along with other books I have read dealing with the subject. I have read and posted book reviews on Amazon for the following books that relate to Web 2.0:... Read more

OK for beginners. Not much for the experienced., By Book Lover (Needham, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: PR 2.0: New Media, New Tools, New Audiences (Hardcover)
A valid introduction to an emerging area of the field. Nothing wrong here, though it's beginning to feel outdated already. Professionals experienced in this new area will find themselves skimming rapidly through the basic sections, looking somewhat for something new to take away.
