I don't usually write about work on the blog - but I'm thinking I have a few PR co-workers reading, so I'm going to toot my own horn.
Through PilmerPR, I work for a client that just announced a product that uses waste heat to generate electricity. It was a big announcement, and we have a press list of over 500 individuals.
But what was really exciting about this launch was the blog pick up. Although not all companies realize it - blogs are huge, and if you get on the top blogs you are reaching millions of readers. This announcement hit a homerun, and got on the number 3 and 4 most popular blogs in the world, and on the number 1 "green" blog, which really reaches their industry. Here are some clips:

Geek.com
CNET

So can I call myself a Web 2.0 PR expert now? Nah, the story just had good news value, which makes it easy to pitch.

Wow, Allison. Congrats! You couldn't ask for better pick up than those sites! Yes, it's a good story, but there are a lot of PR folks out there who don't realize how much power blogs can have. Fortunately for your clients, you do. :) Great job and very exciting!
I also think you are great at P.R. I'm always impressed by the work you do. When I write a book someday, will you be my P.R/publicist?
:)
