A catch phrase will go here soon.

Our PR department is amazing! (or Netscape PR recap)

6/19/2006

Just got a list from my amazing PR department with some of the massive coverage we got for the launch last week.

We did 26 analyst/press briefings which is more briefings than we’ve done on any tour in seven years I’ve been told. I think every, single outlet said yes–wild!

For five days last week I did up to nine, 45-minute presentations of the new Netscape. It was exhasuting, but amazing. It’s so great to have the resources of such a professional, fun, and intelligent PR department. I hate PR… I never do it, I just build stuff and let the chips fall.

Now that I’ve seen how GOOD PR is done I’m changing my position. It’s really, really powerful to do a press tour if you have a *qualified* PR group. Thanks Andrew, John, Linda, Lisa, Lauren, and everyone else in the group that helped out!

Amazing…. great work.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
