Welcome to Communications Express

By now, you know that Communications Express has had a soft launch. Well, today's the day that C/Exp is officially unveiled.

This is my sixth launch of a new blog since 2006. And each launch I've done, there has been a brief welcome, then I dived right in to the focus of that particular blog. And it hasn't taken long for each of my past blogs to develop and find its niche.

This blog is different. It is unlike any of the past and present blogs I've authored, which have been political in nature.

This is a career and business-centered blog. It is not written on behalf of any business or company. And while Google's AdSense ads are found here (and I encourage you to click on the ads and support them where and when necessary), this blog is very independent of any of those advertisers. I am solely responsible for the content here.

At a time where unemployment (a subject I know all too well unfortunately) is running rampant, even here in Southern Nevada, I felt it was time to focus on how businesses are communicating in this new economy.

I'm a 12 year communications specialist. You've seen my bio. I'm a writer, a former journalist and I happen to love the field of public relations. So much so that I have actively sought out the perfect PR position for a while now...it hasn't happened yet. And in this down economy, it probably may never happen in my lifetime--maybe in the next life! And while I'm not positioning this blog as a resume or myself as a job-seeker, I am a solutions provider, and the solutions I provide is good communication on behalf of your company.

Therefore, I've taken to the blog-waves to write about trends in PR, marketing, communications and media. All of the buzz lately has been on social media. Facebook, Twitter, blogging and LinkedIn are all part of this new media companies are now trying to exploit. It seems to be working. Quite frankly, if you, as a company, are not blogging, or not participating in some form of social media, you are missing a golden opportunity to be successful.

C/Exp will post articles and links quite frequently. I encourage you to participate and comment on these issues and others. The success of C/Exp will depend on you.

Many of you who have followed my blogs will follow this one too. I'm excited about C/Exp and I look forward to its success.

E.C. :)
