In my new career venture, I am learning much quickly. For one, when something somewhat disturbing happens, there's no one to turn to and frantically gasp -- OH CRAP.I had a gasping OH CRAP moment this morning. I was interviewed Monday for an article on social media and public relations. This was a great opportunity. My first chance to be quoted in connection with my own business. Yes. Better than advertising, baby.
Here's the kink. The article ran today. Turns out, I was somewhat misquoted. (I'll post the article in just a bit.) The journalist stated that I had plans to launch a new PR firm later this year with two partners. The firm being a new breed of PR agencies in that it would have an integrated social media practice. Anywho. That's not what I said!
The bright side -- to some extent, this is still good publicity for me. Who knows who may read this and want to give me a call? The underbelly -- once my former employers read this, and they will, the goodwill I so carefully worked to keep intact will be shot. SHOT. Not good.
Stay tuned for the fallout.
