Make ideas contagious through every channel of communicationViral marketing -- word-of-mouth marketing that spreads rapidly -- is now mainstream, but some of its concepts are still catching on in the realm of public relations. Drawing partly on the theories of evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, who used the phrase ""meme"" to describe a self-replicating unit of cultural information, Andy Green shows how contagious ideas --or memes -- can spread through PR communications like a virus. This stimulating, original book shows how to harness the power of communication to send out a message not just virally, but through online traditional channels as well.
The subject of creativity in public relations is something of an enigma -- while the creative element is considered crucial, it remains an abstract concept where no substantial guidance is provided.

While using and managing a range of techniques and tips to generate creative ideas, practitioners will be able to 'get under the skin' of creativity and use it to greater effect in their work.
