DeVries Conversations with Sarah Evans

December 21st, 2010 | Posted By Stephanie Smirnov

Earlier this fall I sat down for a chat with the prolific and always engaging Sarah Evans of Sevans Strategy, a PR and social media consultancy she runs in Chicago. Also known as @PRSarahEvans, she is one of the most influential PR voices on Twitter (so much so that Vanity Fair named her one of “America’s Tweethearts” earlier this year.) Sarah is also the founder of JournChat, a popular online meet-up among journalists, PR practitioners and students that takes place on Twitter every Monday night at 8 PM EST.

I was interested to hear from Sarah what she’s learned from moderating JournChat for two years — what we discussed was so juicy it couldn’t be contained in just one podcast. So here’s Part 1 of my 2-part chat with one of the smartest PR pros I know. Check back next week for the second part and by the way — Happy Holidays to one and all!

Stephanie Smirnov is the President of the agency and can also be found at her personal blog PRMama.com.

October 27th, 2010 | Posted By Stephanie Smirnov

For the second installment of DeVries Conversations video podcast series, I sat down with Alli Worthington and Barbara Jones to talk about how marketers can extend their online relationships with bloggers into the physical world.

Among their many accomplishments, Alli and Barbara are the organizers of the popular Blissdom conference series which expands north of the border for the first time ever this week.

Watch this space for the next installment of DeVries Conversations, when I sit down with PR and social media guru Sarah Evans.

New Look, Same DVPR

September 10th, 2010 | Posted By Stephanie Smirnov

You may have noticed the DeVries PR website has been under construction. We realized that for an agency that prides itself on being in the know and innovative in how we use communications tools – especially digital ones – our site was a bit dated. So we went back to the drawing board to create something cleaner, leaner and far more dynamic. Something that reflects the agency we are today – not ten years ago.

Not only did we change the look and feel of the site, we’ve made it our goal to provide a regular flow of content that will help readers navigate the world of on- and off-line public relations. We’ll utilize our expertise and the relationships we’ve developed with some of today’s top influencers to share insights and knowledge in the form of blog posts (same name as our old blog – DeVries Conversations – just a new look), case studies and a new video podcast series.

Today we’re excited to share the first in our podcast series, a conversation with digital pioneer Maggie Mason. Maggie is the founder of MightyGirl.com, author and highly influential lifestyle blogger. We sat down with her recently to talk about brand-blogger collaboration – past, present and future.

There’s lots more to come, so please visit us here again!
