Peter Shankman, One HARO-ic PR Force


A quick public service/public relations service message today:

If you are in the PR business--or even if you're not--you should know about Peter Shankman.

You may recall a previous post in which I credited Shankman with inspiring my idea for the U.S. Department of XS Energy.

This year, in particular, Shankman has shown why he is a creative force to be reckoned with. Perhaps his biggest endeavor has been extending his reach with Help A Reporter Out, or HARO, a service that matches journalists with sources and has ProfNet quaking in its stale boots.

I recently wrote a review of Shankman's book, Can We Do That?! Outrageous PR Stunts That Work--And Why Your Company Needs Them.

Go here to check it out.
