Background & Disclaimer BLOGthenticity
This blog is a collaborative effort. The initial idea grew from a conversation between Paul Woodhouse and Robert French.
Our purpose:
To engage active business bloggers in discussions over how they use blogs to aid in their business marketing plan. We want to learn from those that have effectively implemented blogs in order to engage their customers in conversations and/or provide them with information in a conversational manner within their blog. The authenticity of a business person writing about their projects, products and services is one of the new powerful tools that blogs and CMS have offered the business world.
To actively involve students in conversations with business people from around the world. Blogs offer a unique opportunity for students to converse with professionals they never would have met before. We choose to harness the power of CMS to bring people together.
Think of this as part mentoring exercise by our contributors and part incubator for future business PR/Marcom professionals.
