I think that two cities that are being overlooked are Phoenix and Atlanta.
Atlanta has past the statute of limitations on letting the Flames get
away (it was a different city and a different era then), and Phoenix is a
new metropolitan hot spot that baseball is looking at closely. Personally,
I'd like to see Minneapolis get a team again. There is just something
not right about hockey in Dallas, while Minnesotans gaze longingly from
afar.

I understand that the Bruins have confirmed with the NHL that they plan
to change their uniforms for the 95-96 season. Have they submitted a
final design for approval by the league yet? If so, does anyone know what
it looks like? Finally, is anyone else upset about the possible
retirement of the spoked "B"? Merchandising gone mad.....

About CitySearch
CitySearch, headquartered in Pasadena, Calif., was featured in Fortune as one of "The Top 25 Coolest Companies", ranked fourth in NetGuide's listing of the top 100 Internet sites, and was recognized in PC Magazine's list of the Top 100 sites. CitySearch is a complete and current community guide, delivering up-to-date information on arts and entertainment events, community activities, and local businesses to consumers via the Internet.

CitySearch was founded by Bill Gross, who previously founded Knowledge Adventure, Charles Conn, a former partner with McKinsey and Company, and Jeffrey Brewer, the former online applications manager at Knowledge Adventure.

I was wondering where that was. I went to Bates, and knew that that
certainly wasn't Bates. And those girls that Meadow got drunk with at
the bar CERTAINLY weren't the crunchy granola-type women that populate
COlby in reality.

A little more on Edelman/A&R Acquisition
I wish Edelman and A&R the best with the acquisition. I just have to add that I am cautious in my optimism for its success. This is because I was involved in a similar acquisition in 1998.
I started my PR career as an intern with Alexander Communications, Inc. in 1996. At the time, the San Francisco office where I started had about 17 employees, and the Atlanta office had about 30. That was ACI at the time. The marquee client was Novell, and they had just landed two divisions of HP, the network server division and the new "Pavilion" consumer division. It was an amazing time to be involved with technology and the office was full of incredibly smart people including Pam Alexander, Holland Carney, Brian Johnson, and Amy Messenger.
The 'middle management' at the time was also very strong with Kim Hughes, now with Blueshirt, Hani Durzy, who now is with eBay and Mark Bingham as account supervisors.
By 1998, ACI had grown to almost 200 emloyees, revenues of $12 million, , a kick ass client roster, and several more offices, including Silicon Valley where I moved and our upstairs neighbor was Be, Denver and Boston. We were easily in the top 3, and many say 'top 1', tech boutique PR firms (anyone see any parallels here?). Technology was booming and the major interational firms wanted to be part of it so there was a buying frenzy. In the course of a few weeks, both ACI and our primary competitor, were both purchased by major international firms (again any parallels?) .
I can only speak for my experience at ACI, but for all of the posturing and talk of synergy and respect for the brand.......Ogilvy killed it. I was there until 2000, as were many others who hung around for bonuses, and then began the real industry-wide benefit of the consolidation that was taking place. Smart people with great backgrounds, that learned at the feet of an industry legend went out on their own.
Right now, I know of at least five firms led/founded by Alexander alums (not including Mark's firm) including, The Usher Group (founded by Usher Lieberman), Fama-PR (co-founded by Anthony Citrano), Volume PR (founded by Elizabeth Robinson), Montgomery Pacific Group (founded by Ken Montgomery), and Morgan/Dorado (founded by me ;-).
And AlexanderOgilvy? Try and find a reference to it on the Ogilvy site these days. Amy Messenger is still there, but I'm not sure if any more of the original nearly 200 are.
I hope this works out for Edelman, I really do. But if it doesn't, look for a boom in new technology PR firms in 2008.
Richard Edelman, Pam Pollace, and Bob Angus, I recommend that you contact some of the people above and see why they left.
But more importantly, maybe try Amy Messenger at Ogilvy, and see why she stayed.

 PR Spokesperson Hani Durzy Leaving eBay |
| By: Ina Steiner |
| Tue Dec 11 2007 11:56:28 |
| Hani Durzy is leaving eBay after nearly five years. In an email blast, he wrote "eBay has been, and continues to be, a wonderful place to work and to learn. It has afforded me the opportunity to do what I love best - to tell stories and to work with the media. It has challenged me to do things I couldn't have imagined doing five years ago. And it has given me a front-row seat as the Internet and ecommerce entered the mainstream, along with all the fun and thorny issues that go with them."
Hani followed Kevin Pursglove as main contact in North America. Kevin was at eBay from 1999 - 2003 and from what we hear, currently spends a lot of time on the golf course. Not so for Hani. He is joining strategic communications consulting firm 463 Communications as partner. He said in his email, "As much as I have enjoyed my time at eBay and will miss all the people and excitement here, I am really looking forward to this new opportunity. It lets me explore the world of tech policy more deeply, and it should provide me with many opportunities to help organizations communicate more effectively and credibly with the media and bloggers." I tried reaching Hani to ask him what he will miss the most and miss the least in his role as eBay spokesperson. He's currently tied up. (He's at the dentist - a good time to get him to talk, I thought, but perhaps wisely he put off our conversation until later.) Shannon Stubo remains eBay's VP of Corporate Communications. Hani's last day is January 11, 2008. |

| "to tell stories and to work with the media" More like "to tell fibs and manipulate the media". Maybe they can get someone in the job who actually knows how to communicate without a bunch of spin, weasel words, and management blah blah. Nah, this is eBay we're talking about. Clear communication? No way. Doesn't fit the corporate image... |
