Blurred Lines in Advertising + PR

A few months back, I spoke on a panel about the Blurred Lines between PR and Marketing - at a PRSA-LA / AMA event.
As you can see on my LinkedIn, I'm a good candidate for panel like that -- I've jumped from nonprofits to political to digital/social to startups to PR to brand to media and more...
While each stop has unique skills and responsibilities, they all had these in common:
- Advocacy communications
- Improvisation through social media
- Results-driven
"I think whatever discipline we’re in, we’re best served if we can figure out how to be laser-focused on accomplishing objectives, like the marketers, and also open to serendipitous positive outcomes that you can leverage for the benefit of your client, like the PR people typically do.”
