Deirdre Breakenridge

I am absolutely delighted to announce that social media expert,  marketing veteran, scholar and author Deirdre Breakenridge has graciously accepted my request to be interviewed on March 8th at 2pm EDT on Hugh Macken, Live! We will discuss one of her latest books, which she co-authored with the iconic Brian Solis , Putting the Public Back in Public Relations: How Social Media Is Reinventing the Aging Business of PR.

As anyone who has spoken with her for  more than like two seconds will attest, Deirdre is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Listen to Hugh Macken, Live! on Blo But she is also, in fact, one of the most highly regarded experts in the United States in the field of social media, marketing and public relations.

She counsels senior level executives at companies including RCN Metro Optical Networks , Quality Technology Services , JVC , Michael C. Fina and Kraft. She is also an adjunct professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison , New Jersey where she teaches courses on Public Relations and Interactive Marketing for the Global Business Management program. She is the author of three (count ’em:) Financial Times business books : “PR 2.0, New Media, New Tools, New Audiences,” “The New PR Toolkit” and “Cyberbranding: Brand Building in the Digital Economy.”

She has spoken publicly on the topics of PR, online marketing and brand building for important organizations like the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), Strategic Research Institute (SRI), Women’s Presidents Organization (WPO), Tier1 Research and at a number of colleges and universities.

It’s just so cool to me that agreed to be interview on my little ‘ol Hugh Macken, Live! I figure the least I can do is tell as many people about the interview as I can to let the world know about a book that I honestly feel needs to be read by every marketing professional in the world.

But who cares what I think!!!

Check out these testamonials:

“There will be two kinds of PR professionals in the future: those who read this book and get with the program, and the unemployed. Your choice.”

Seth Godin , Author of Tribes

“I am thrilled that there is finally a book about the right way to approach PR in today’s world, where hyper-connected conversations trump the old school broadcast mentality. Everyone who wants to build a career in PR or marketing should read this book.”

Tony Hsieh , CEO, Zappos.com

“Putting the Public Back in Public Relations is a passionate and persuasive case for rewriting the rules of public relations. Authors Solis and Breakenridge expertly combine third-party perspective with case studies and examples to paint a picture of a profession on the brink of reinvention.”

So now that I’ve shared the good news, would you mind sharing with me what we topics you think we should address? What would you like to know about what works and what doesn’t when it comes to public relations in the world of the read/write web?
