Hey, thanks for swinging by my blog.

Whether it’s breaking news, Web 2.0, public relations, marketing, start-ups or whatever, I promise to wade through the bullshit and give you my unbuffered perspective.

You’ll note I never take on a “corporate tone” — whether I’m chatting you up at a party or speaking to the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, my voice never changes. I say what’s on my mind and I’m often the champion of the underdog. It’s how I roll.

I’m a Web 2.0 junkie and smoke Google Analytics in a crack pipe to get my day going. I hope my immersed insight and offbeat view make you laugh. More importantly, I hope you take a second and share your thoughts by posting a comment. If you have any ideas on how to make my blog better, shoot an email to kel@kelandpartners.com.

Peace out.

Dog Food Anyone?

June 25, 2008 8:05 AM

In the spirit of Web 2.0’s “power to the people” attitude, I am going to try a little test. After listening to half a dozen people tell me — ok bitch at me — to try this I have finally acquiesced. My agency is hiring PR people at all levels. In support of eating our own dog food and washing it down with our own KoolAid, I am posting the ad on this blog to see what type of response it gets. I didn’t like the idea of using my blog for anything like this, but I’m over it. A large chunk of my audience is in the PR industry, so my hope is it will have laserlike reach. Pass it around if you know anyone interested. Finding a terrific hire through a blog post would make a great story. You know us PR freaks…it’s all about the story. Rock on!

 

Here is the ad:

 

Looking for PR pros who want to get paid to work in Web 2.0 world. One stipulation: must recognize a ”tweet” isn’t a bird, a “wall” isn’t a Pink Floyd song, ”poked” isn’t perverted and a “podcast” isn’t fishing on a lily pad.  

  

Kel & Partners is a leading Web 2.0 marketing & PR agency for consumer & emerging technology brands. The outrageous media coverage we deliver our clients has made us insanely busy.  

 

We’re looking for PR talent at all levels who want to drink the Kool-Aid & work in the Web 2.0 universe at our soon-to-be-opened Boston (we’re in Westborough now) & Seattle offices.

    Kel- Nice idea!

    Do you know Aaron, Jim and the folks at Mzinga? They did the same thing a few months ago with a untraditional approach to hiring- no resumes, no phone calls, no emails, just activity through facebook, linkedin and more.

    Check out his blog here. http://www.mzinga.com/en/Community/Blogs/Aaron-Strout/Hiring-in-a-2.0-World/

    Kel, saw your tweet about being in South Boston
    and we were *crushed* that you didn’t pay us a visit ;-) The folks at Mzinga are doing great things- they know all things community…

    US News World Report actually did a story on Aaron’s blog post too (http://tinyurl.com/6bwzz7)

    Look forward to seeing/hearing what happens!

    Okay…
    A. Love the humor! (…and I shouldn’t be surprised that this ad is crazy well written.)
    B. You’re moving to Boston (AND opening an office Seattle!!!!) Hello? Very cool.
    C. You get mad points for posting your cell #.

  6. Kel Says:

    sonciary,

    a) my kids would say you’re enabling me by thinking i’m funny.
    b) way cool. good reason to get you the heck out of manchester for a meeting, followed by a dinner in the city.
    c) so far i have not seen any abuse, although i’m sure the dumpster divers haven’t seen it yet cause they’re too deep in the bowels of a trash pile.

  7. Tyson Goodridge Says:

    Kel, my friend Aaron wrapped up his “Hiring in a 2.0 World” discussion here. (and hey- you are mentioned….!)
