Who Won The Arizona Republican Presidential Debate?

posted on: Feb 22, 2012 | author: TJ Walker

The Arizona Republican debate proved to be a showdown between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. With campaign momentum and the eyes of the media and voters on him, Santorum was able to hold his own with Romney and at times came across as quite presidential. Romney had his usual steady performance but the expectations were much higher for Santorum and he met those with a very solid debate outing that allowed voters to see him as a thoughtful and quick on his feet candidate.

How to Create A Branded Presence For Your Products and Services in the Media

posted on: Feb 15, 2012 | author: Mike Bako

Peter Himler sat down with host Mike Bako to share all things PR including how the new communications landscape has not changed his clients’ overriding goal: to create a positive, branded presence for their products, services and POVs in the media. What has changed are the means to this end, which now encompasses not just earned media coverage, but paid, owned and ultimately shared. Like most PR professionals, Mr. Himler stays on top of new media developments, but says that many clients continue to measure (and pay) agencies by traditional media results. Hewlett-Packard recently performed a study on tweets and discovered that most of the conversations were influenced by traditional media. With saying this, securing a story in a traditional media source is becoming more and more challenging. It’s no secret that capturing the attention of a top tier journalist has grown increasingly more difficult. since they are inundated with hundreds of email pitches a day. “One of the things that I tell my clients is that you’ve got to find the influencers,” said Mr. Himler. He went on to explain that the influencers whom clients should be targeting, are the very influencers that the big-branded traditional outlets follow. For the last six years, Mr. Himler has been sharing his take on the PR profession through his blog — The Flack. The blog’s mission is to shine a brighter light on the subtle role public relations plays in politics, popular...

Is Mitt Romney “Severely Freudian?”

posted on: Feb 13, 2012 | author: Daily National

If you are like me, you are probably still poking your finger in your ear trying to figure out if you heard Mitt Romney correctly when he called himself a “Severely conservative Republican.” That one goes in the gaffe hall of fame for numerous reasons. Here is a new radio ad that my organization AmericanLP has going up on ABC Radio in Michigan later this week. Who is Mitt Romney? Voiceover from Romney ‘I was a severely conservative Republican.’ Severely conservative??? The word ‘severely’ is most commonly used to describe the following: Disabled, depressed, ill, limited, injured. So, Michigan conservatives, Mitt Romney basically thinks conservatism is like a ‘disease.’ If you’re a moderate/independent Michigan Republican, how do you feel about a politician who doesn’t believe in anything, but implies, ‘I’ll pretend to be a diseased extremist, even if I think it’s crazy?’ Mitt Romney’s father, George Romney was a great Michigan governor who always spoke his mind. He stood up to his church and GOP extremists regarding civil rights. But Mitt Romney? Has he ever stood up for something unpopular? Mitt Romney, he’s not his father’s son. Mitt Romney thinks he can ‘brain wash’ the rest of us. Paid for By AmericanLP, not associated with a candidate or candidate’s...

The Illness Industry – Choose Carefully

posted on: Feb 8, 2012 | author: Jennifer_McDonell

Your life (and death) depend on what ‘medical system’ you choose. And there is a choice, you make that choice every day by the lifestyle you choose. This may seem too simple, but in reality it can be very empowering and gives you the ability to be as healthy or as ill as you want. Your health now and in old age has to be a sum of all that has gone before, your lifestyle choices become your health and success. So choose carefully. Poor lifestyle choices, become medical problems (especially stresses and emotions) Please note; many of these choices are made at a subconscious level, guided by your past experiences expectations and beliefs, how can it be any ofter way? Therefore once again I emphasize the need to address your deeply held fears and stresses, they are the ‘devil-in-the-detail’. How you feel and how you allow those feelings to control you life, is the KEY to what your life becomes. Fear, anger, jealousy greed and guilt all propel the body into ‘fight or flight’ from which physical illness eventually evolve. Next time you have the chance to speak to a seriously ill person, inquire about their difficult childhood and what trauma happened about 12 to 24 months before the illness began. There is always a reason, the universe is a very logical place. Poor choices regarding food, exercise and nutrition come about because of a deeply felt “lack-of-self-worth’, which is created by early life experiences, it is again a...

Has Mitt Romney Shown Religious Intolerance?

posted on: Feb 8, 2012 | author: Daily National

Here is a new rough draft for a TV commercial I will be producing for the Democratic Super PAC AmericanLP. Please send me suggestions and criticisms. “Religious Tolerance” :60 Second TV Ad *** Opening video of Rev Jeremiah Wright “God Damn America!” Voiceover: “Intolerance is ugly in whatever form it takes, especially when it flows from the pulpit.” (Text only: “November 19, 1993,”) Voiceover “the Mitt Romney family baptized Mitt Romney’s father-in-law, Edward Davies, 13 months AFTER Davies had died. Davies was a lifelong opponent of organized religion. Was this tolerant of Davies Wishes?” (Text and images: On March 22, 1969, Ed Davies daughter Ann married Mitt Romney.) Voiceover: “Neither of Ann Romney’s parents was allowed into the Romney wedding ceremony performed at the Salt Lake Temple. Non-Mormons are not tolerated at the wedding ceremonies of Mormons.” (text: “From 1966-1969, Mitt Romney was a full-time employee of the Mormon Church. Romney was appointed Bishop in the Mormon Church. Romney became one of the largest multi-million dollar donors of the Mormon Church”) Voiceover: “Since the 60s, Mitt Romney has been a powerful, influential Mormon Church leader. Mormons did not accept that Black people had full souls equal to Whites until 1978. What kind of leader promotes an organization that had an official policy of racial intolerance?” Closing graphic in text “In 2012, vote in favor of religious tolerance.” “Paid for by...

Mitt Romney Announces “I’m not concerned about the very poor”

posted on: Feb 7, 2012 | author: Daily National

NEW YORK-TJ Walker, founder of Democratic Super PAC AmericanLP, announced today that it is releasing a new ad featuring Mitt Romney’s statement “I’m not concerned about the very poor.” Walker stated: “Mitt Romney is to be commended for his honesty. This ranks right up there with ‘I like being able to fire people,” and “corporations are people, my friend.’ Romney has shown that while he may have the golden touch for all of his personal investment choices, he has a tin ear for politics. Romney doesn’t even bother trying to mask his contempt for non-rich Americans. Once again, Mitt Romney shows he has the same compassion level for the non-rich that the Mel Brooks’ character King Louis did when he was using live peasants for skeet shooting practice.” AmericanLP announced that it has also bought airtime for the ad to run on national news networks, including MSNBC via Google advertising. For further information and interview inquires, contact TJ Walker at 646-535-6893 or...

Super Bowl Commercials Preview

posted on: Jan 31, 2012 | author: Daily National

Honda is winning the battle of the pre-Super Bowl commercial buzz by releasing its new commercial starring Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller. By releasing this commercial early, and by having released a 10 second teaser before, Honda is cornering the market on word of mouth buzz. The danger of doing this, if there is any, would be if the sense of surprise is lost on the audience who has already seen the spot multiple times online. The game on the field will probably be up for grabs in the 4th quarter but I find it hard to believe that there will be a better commercial, or more talked about commercial, than Honda’s.
