Firehose : Awkward first post. Check.

Welcome to ‘Don’t Fear The Firehose’ (or DFTF because I realize now that typing that all the time is going to get old quickly). The title was ‘inspired by’ (cough: ripped off from) a book by this guy – I highly recommend you buy it but if you aren’t feeling that charitable you could just as easily read it here, for free, right now (tip your Google!).

This is a no bullsh!t social media blog written FOR pros by a (not that old) pro. My name is Paul Armstrong and for the past six years I have been in LA working in-house (at MySpace), at agencies large and small on clients with huge budgets to no-budgets. I’ve worked on some of the biggest brands and brands that’ll never be heard of because that’s the way they wanted it. Before you roll your eyes and start typing ‘Perez Hilton’ into the search bar (did I mention I’ve worked in PR?) let me double underline this won’t be your run-of-the-mill social media blog. I created/run @themediaisdying after all. It’ll have real advice, spelling-errors, tips, best practices, key takeaways, grammar like you’ve never seen, hints and plenty of research/stats for those thrilling PowerPoints you know clients just L.O.V.E. to sit through (as much as you love making them).

So with the obligatory awkward first post out of the way, and in the spirit of the whole firehose theme, let’s be having it! What do you want to know – what don’t you want to know? What’ll be most helpful to you? Hit me up anytime at the (imaginative) email address : prweekblog@gmail.com

It’s like voting – you can’t b!tch if you don’t go. I’m ready. Are you?
