Vogue: Huge Hollywood Stars Without a Cover

Image
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are on the cover of the April issue of Vogue. Their photo on the largest U.S fashion magazine created quite a stir on social media when the cover photo was released over the weekend.  Many Vogue readers were upset at the choice of West and Kardashian on the cover and I began researching high profile celebrities that have never been on the cover. There have been many actresses, singers and models that you won’t believe haven’t made the cut! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Amy Adams: This gorgeous lady has had an amazing year in movie roles.  She gave a performance of a lifetime in American Hustle, where she wore some beautiful low-cut gowns for her character, Sydney Prosser.  We would love to see her on a cover! 2. Miranda Kerr: It’s hard to believe this famous model has never graced a cover, but it is true.  She has been many magazines for her belove...

NYC Restaurant Week Event Changes for Winter 2014

NYC Restaurant Week is a blissful time for frugal New Yorkers and tourists alike.  Many look forward to event, which comes around twice a year in the early winter and summer seasons where restaurants gather together to offer a prix fixe menu at a discounted price.  Restaurant Week has become a popular event and has even expanded to other large cities as well.  Unfortunately for this Winter 2014 season, NYC Restaurant Week has been delayed due to the Super Bowl being held on February 2nd. Many participating restaurants experience a high volume of consumers during the Super Bowl and felt it was necessary to delay NYC Restaurant Week for a less busy period of time. In the past, the promotion began in mid January and this year it will be pushed until mid February. In addition to the delay, NYC Restaurant Week will also be a shortened by a week to increase demand and maximize profits for participating restaurants. The promotion began to draw in consumers during a time wher...

How To Choose A New York PR Firm

If you're in the market for a New York PR Firm , there are a few thing that you should consider... 1. What are your goals from PR? It is important that you know and understand what you're looking to achieve from PR and express these goals clearly to the agency you choose to work with.  It is ok to not know how to achieve those goals, that's the job of the agency, but you must have some sense of what those goals are.  It is also important that everyone be on the same page in terms of what you're looking to achieve. 2. Does your agency understand who you are? When forming a new relationship with a PR agency, you want to make sure that your agency has a clear understanding of your companies background, and history.  Your agency should understand who your company/brand is, where you are now, and where you want to be going.  Over time, the ideal situation is that your agency knows you well enough to feel like an internal part of your organization. 3. Do you unders...

Face to Face Approach

In New York-- you see everything, especially from artists.  From promoting their work on street corners to musicians singing in the subway for a buck.  Attention, attention corporate companies... take note. Like artists, it doesn't hurt companies to spotlight what's going on with an in-person approach as well.  It's wonderful to engage online with consumers visually, but let's have some fun,  show me what you're about.  So back you NY.  People like to see things out of the ordinary, like artists performing.  So how can big companies promote themselves while directly engaging with the public in a sort of performance?  I'll give you two examples.   This past Sunday National Geographic aired "Killing Kennedy."  The T.V. film based on Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard's best seller which had an average of 3.4 million viewers. I'm sure a handful of them had been strolling Broadway last week, to which they would have come across an o...

Is all Publicity Good?

PR stunts go on all the time.  Companies strategically do things to get people paying attention and to start talking.  But what if a plan goes sour?  People are still going to talk but is it good for your company?  They're still talking... right? One of the most notable stunts-gone-wrong was back in 2006 when LifeLock CEO Todd Davis put his social security number on billboards to instigate people into attempting to steal his identity and prove LifeLock's reputation.  The only problem is that his identity was stolen... 13 times to be exact and 87 steals were attempted but failed.  Sorry, guy, but that's just not good publicity.  Even the CEO's life wasn't on lock. Another PR stunt that... melted, was in 2005 and right here in town.  Snapple wanted to show off the worlds biggest popsicle in Union Square.  The only problem: it was mid June and this popsicle didn't stand a chance to the summer weather.  The 25-foot-tall pop began to melt...
