Casey Anthony Trial: PR Value To Legal Experts

The Casey Anthony trial was PR boom for sharp Attorney’s seeking to present their expertise to millions. Because of strong public interest in the trial, the media was constantly seeking those who could add any new insight into Casey’s fate and whether or not she’s be the case. At Goldman McCormick, we had a Casey Anthony Expert Bureau since day one that not only had strong attorneys but, a forensic psychiatrist and Florida-based radio host. Our team had every possible angle to the story covered and as a result, our clients did over 15 National TV appearances and over 100 radio appearances talking on the cast alone!

Is Jackass Good PR For Humanity?

Today as millions mourn Ryan Dunn, Co-Start of MTV’s “Jackass” many ponder if the show is a leap towards a global idiocracy and de-evolution. We feel that “Jackass” can actually be viewed positive PR not only for America but, for human beings. Here’s why:

Charlie Sheen’s PR Gold

The world owes Charlie Sheen a HUGE Thank You. In a mere10 days Sheen has given the media “interview gold” and huge ratings in a relatively slow news period (aside for that little middle east in conflict thing, imploding global economy, and soaring gas prices). Sheen has encouraged millions of Fathers develop strong relationships with their daughters – so as to prevent them from dating someone…well, someone like Sheen. Most importantly, Charlie Sheen has been an eternal PR gift that keeps on giving (re-rapping each time into an even most appealing present).

Why Charlie Sheen Is Beating The World

Despite a global economic meltdown, middle east chaos, and a deeply divided America, Actor Charlie Sheen remains the indefinite media main event. In the past two weeks, he’s been covered more than women who don a burka and yet, two questions remain: Is Charlie Sheen self destructing or becoming self aware in a self destructive world? If Charlie Sheen is at war with the world, who’s winning?

PR Boom for Psychology

In our culture, there is still a negative stigma associated with an individual who sees a psychologist unless you’re in Hollywood where the average celeb has 7. The assumption is that one who needs to seek external help to manage their inner workings is somehow weak.

The cost of not seeking treatment for fear of being judged in this way is often a great one: prolonged depression, potential substance abuse, sudden admiration for Kirk Cameron, temporarily relief from internal strife within but, never actually solving the root of the problem. Mental health issues can not only prevent an individual from living life to the fullest but, in the worst case scenario can lead to that individual to take the lives

The PR Brillance of the Parent Television Council & How To Bring That Organization Down

Americans nationwide should be in absolute awe of the Parent Television Council’s brilliant and effective Public Relations campaign. The PTC, formed in 1994 by “conservative” Brent Bozell has utilized its 12,000 membership to harass and threaten American businesses who support TV & Radio programs that they deem to be “immoral, offensive, and un-family friendly.” They’ve utilized the government’s Federal Communication Commission to fine, reprimand, and even remove these programs from the air.

Family Guy’s PR Lessons

Recently on an episode of Fox’s “Family Guy” Stewie Griffin became Brian’s Publicist and launched a massive media blitz to promote Brian’s new self-help book. While the show regularly entertains millions with crude, cutting edge humor there were some interesting lessons about PR taught in the episode.

Tiger Woods’ Twitter Press Conference

Woods used Twitter to communicate directly to his fans without fear of any scrutiny from professional journalists or intrusive paparazzi. We think if he continues to do this, Woods will eventually reestablish the strong connection of personal intimacy he once had with his loyal fans.

The Elasticity of Truth

I believe the heart of every scandal, betrayal, and downfall at some point relates to an individuals “Elasticity of Truth” – what they present themselves as the public to be and whom they really are behind closed doors. Think of this idea as a stretched rubberband – eventually it will have to snap back into place. The farther it’s stretched, the more it will hurt when it snaps back (or possibly breaks all together).
