Business Wire Launches EON at PRSA

I am here composing this blog post from the Business Wire booth.  Yesterday they announced the launch of EON, their SEO and social media distribution system which is powered by PRWeb.   While you have been able to order Business Wire services through PRWeb for a few months now, you can now get the PRWeb services through the Business Wire EON service.

The Smartest Business Person I Know

I almost want to keep this one a secret, but you caught me on a generous day. So I will share this with you. Roy Williams is probably the sharpest mind in advertising and marketing, bar none. What makes someone brilliant? In my mind, it is his/her ability to assemble available information and put it to practical use. The best bakers (see how it comes back to food with me) in the world do not have an advantage because they have different ingredients. They have an advantage that comes with time, experience and the ability to combine those ingredients into something remarkable.

What's remarkable about Roy Williams is that he shares this knowledge with everyone. He teaches it at his Wizard Academy. His Monday Morning Memo is how I start my week. I recommend spending an afternoon reading through the archives. No time to read, download his podcast. I do both.

Now I did it. I just shared with you something that will change the way you approach marketing, public relations and advertising. Why did I share this with you. Because if Roy makes a recommendation I know that I better pay attention.

I attended a Wizards of Web conference in Austin last month where the topic of conversation for two days was Waiting for Your Cat to Bark?, the new book on Persuasion Architecture by the Eisenberg brothers. I have read it many times. Why, well initially because Roy recommended that I do so. Then I re-read it and made it mandetory reading at PRWeb. Don't do it because I said so. Do it because Roy recommends it.

See you at the top!

PRWeb Hires Industry Veteran Stuart Dean as Senior VP of Sales

PRWeb, best known for revolutionizing the press release industry with search engine optimization of press releases and its patent-pending fully Web 2.0 enabled press release service, announces the hiring of Stuart Dean to head its direct sales team.               

"PRWeb's phenomenal success has been built almost entirely on word-of-mouth traffic," PRWeb Founder and CEO David McInnis said. "We have spent very little in marketing and nothing in sales since we started the company in 1997. Stuart will now carry our message to larger public companies and agencies to expand our growing portfolio of Fortune 500 companies."

Stuart Dean joins PRWeb following 18 successful years in the news and press release distribution business. Dean most recently served as Senior Vice President of Sales, Americas for PR Newswire, where he led the sales efforts among 24 offices and 150 sales personnel in the Americas.

Dean recognizes the importance of tapping online social networks.

"I am excited to be part of such a vibrant and rapidly growing company," he says. "It is clear the importance of reaching the online media and working with new social networks has never been greater. PRWeb is a visionary company, pioneering technologies and building a platform to help companies and agencies improve their visibility with this important global audience."
