PR Tip from Ryan: Following up via phone to see if your client will receive coverage about a press release, event, etc. is good to do. But when should you not do it? Early mornings at 6-7am Afternoons 3-7pm Late/overnights Why? Because the morning show is happening and the producer is most likely to answer the phone - which means you're interrupting a broadcast. In newspaper/print - many aren't in the office at 6am because they work different hours to put out their issue. Stop and think about the times you approach any type of news organization. And remember that when there are odd hours, you may not get the response you want.

At Nelwater, we're always happy to add clients to our media and marketing family and because we've had such great success with our local clients, we're proud to announce that we've added a new account manager to the Nelwater family.  Nelwater Consulting is located in the heart of Charleston, SC  It's been difficult deciding when to expand and when not to. I think all small businesses go through a stage where it's all about taking the next step and we're happy to add  Natalie N. Grantham  to our ever-growing company.  A Charleston transplant in 2009, Natalie has grown to love and adore our community and call it home. Originally from Florida (first Jacksonville then Tampa), she became a Carolina resident at the ripe age of 9 to the wonderfully small town of Fort Mill, South Carolina. Born and raised a… wait for it… Florida GATORS fan, she was quickly won over by the Carolina Gamecock spirit and after only three yea...

Extremely excited and working hard on this Sunday, as I am crafting a presentation highlighting social media for the Lowcountry Regional SCSFA.   There's nothing better than being able to create your own specialty food and have fans of it. However, sometimes the creators are too busy in the kitchen or on the farm to get a crash course on social media. That's where I come in... Here's the agenda. I will let you know how it goes!
