Shocking risks associated with open Wi-Fi 

Blog
We all love that feeling right? As we hurriedly connect to that open network, a wave of excitement comes over us all, ‘knowing’ we’ve hit the gold mine of technology. Unfortunately, even though it saves our hard-earned cellular data and allows us to get out of the office to do our work, public wi-fi comes with a set of risks to all users on the open network, especially if those users don’t take steps to protect themselves. Here’s how your data and devices can be attacked over open wi-fi: •             Hackers know that data is easy to steal over an open wi-fi network. However, it’s even easier to steal if the hacker runs the network itself. That’s why open wi-fi should always be treated with caution and vetted before a…

Blog

PR: Why you shouldn’t pick just one spokesperson for your company

PR: Why you shouldn’t pick just one spokesperson for your company

Blog
Over the years, we all have been taught and in fact practiced having just one spokesman for the entire company.  But the game has changed. It’s no longer business as usual, brethren. In fact, one look at what experience has taught over time will tell you that people don’t believe in CEOs nor do they believe in governmental leaders in the realest sense. Who do people rely on to tell them the truth? Unsurprisingly, it’s scientific experts – those in close proximity to an issue. This goes to show that a spokesperson doesn’t necessarily have to be a CEO or a C-level executive…not even a single person as the name depicts.

This is often difficult because value is so subjective —varying from one organization and/or person to another.   Indeed, setting measurable objectives is the master key to proving PR value lest we labour in vain.  But the foundation to getting it right remains setting proper objectives, then beating them. Someone just muttered: “What then is ‘proper’ objective?” Not hard to find, bro.  A…
