Walker Sands Public Relations Team Wins Four Awards Does The June 2 0 1 1 ... N E W S ... Walker Sands Public Relations Team Wins Four Awards I am happy to begin this month's newsletter with exciting news. Walker Sands is the recipient of four awards for our outstanding public relations work. The Acquity Group Mobile Audit Campaign and the Alterian Social Media Hot Topic Campaign collectively received several awards: Award of Excellence from the Chicago Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), Gold and Bronze Tower Award from the Business Marketing Association (BMA) of Chicago, and the Silver Trumpet Award from the Publicity Club of Chicago (PCC). These awards recognize the best and brightest in public relations, and we are honored to be included in this group. Lauren Eichmann and Jackie Lampugnano headed the teams for these campaigns, and I applaud both their creativity and detailed execution required to win these awards. As always, a great deal of thanks goes to Acquity Group and Alterian who not only trusted us with their accounts, but allowed us to push them in new and innovative ways to achieve these goals. We are happy to share this recognition with their marketing teams, who were just as instrumental in the execution of these campaigns. While the statues and award logos are nice, what really matters is the results we achieve for our clients. All of these awards place a heavy emphasis on proving measurable results and showing an actual business impact. That's what we are focused on. It feels good to have the praise given by clients echoed by the larger PR community. Mike Santoro ... I N D U S T R Y A R T I C L E S ... Does The Audience Care? Media Training When crafting your media messages, consider what will appeal to your audience. There are some messages that may be of great interest to reporters, but not to readers, viewers or listeners. For example, political reporters love to write stories on campaign finance reform, political fundraising and insider strategy conflicts.

Besides being billion dollar companies that influence our lives on a daily basis, each one has used the same typeface for its marketing and/or brand identity! The font in question is called Myriad, and it is, in fact, taking over the world.

Historically, search has been a major source of traffic and leads for businesses leveraging online marketing. Search is still a huge source of customers, but slowly, social media is gradually increasing in importance as a marketing platform. The important distinction to make is that search and social are not competitive forces. Instead, these two facets of inbound marketing can work together to amplify the results of each other.

It's vitally important that you understand what's going on, what the short term strategy is, and what the long term strategy is, but it becomes very easy to get muddled in the minutiae of choosing keywords and changing bids by pennies.

Nolan-67.3.docx (Do Not Delete) 3/21/2016 10:26 PM Talent for Sale: The Need for Enhanced Scrutiny in Judicial Evaluation of Acqui-Hires Samantha Nolan* Large technology corporations are purchasing smaller companies at an increasing rate with one goal in mind—engineers. This practice has recently been given its own name— acqui-hiring. The buying corporation purchases the target, poaches its employees, jettisons its projects, and generally kills the company. Who is injured in this process? Those who were legally supposed to be afforded the highest degree of protection at the target companies—the shareholder investors. This Note examines the practice of acqui-hiring and suggests that courts should analyze these transactions under heightened scrutiny. When addressing a target board’s decision to enter into an acqui-hire, courts can find guidance in Revlon, Inc. v. MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, Inc., an acquisition case that arose during a climate of similar corporate concerns.
