In this second part of my interview with Lauren Sell and Josh Dilworth of Porter Novelli Austin, I ask them about the changing role of PR in the face of the Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and all those other “2.0” channels. We talk about the timing of PR campaigns to avoid starting too early or late, and also touch on the role of chance and “magic” in successful PR. Being in Austin, I ask them if local media (whether in Austin or any region) gets involved much in tech PR: it seems they only care about the impact to the local economy, not so much product news, as it were. Finally, we end up talking about AR, or Analyst Relations, and how it differs from PR.
