Points of discussion.
- Linda
started All Clear Translations at the end of 2010. Her passion is helping
companies take their brand globally. Helping them through translation,
connections, education is exciting. Watching them grow and prosper is so
rewarding.
- Last
year she was accepted into the eCenter Technology Incubator in Hermitage. She
opened that office in April.
- Since starting as a
language translations company All
Clear Translations
has added telephone interpreting,
transcription and video closed captioning to answer the needs of our
clients. For example, local companies selling globally now need help
fielding calls from people everywhere. One of my clients, LockHouse has
added Hindi sub-titling to their informational video and presented at an
International Conference in India. The video has created much talk and
interest in their cutting edge technology.
- Next
month, Linda will be on a panel discussion with the WIB (Women in Biology)
discussing how social media can help you brand and build your business.
She will also be speaking at an eCommerce event in Erie with the Ben
Franklin Technology Partners. Linda will be discussing adding languages to
your website and the impact on eCommerce for our U.S. companies looking to
grow internationally.

Hank Walshak is Founder and President of Walshak
Communications, Inc., a company he launched in 1984.
His ultimate role with the
people and companies he works with is to enable them to stand apart from their
competitors in highly distinctive ways as they communicate with their audiences
through traditional and social media.
Hank has written three books and
coauthored two. His most recent
book—Driven: A How-to
Strategy for Unlocking Your Greatest Potential, a
work of creative
nonfiction, was written with Razi Imam and
published by
John Wiley & Sons.
He also
writes on business and healthcare for national media under his byline and the
bylines of clients.
·
Many of
my clients have difficulty integrating public relations, social media, and content
marketing.
·
I make
them aware of what I call “The werewolf marketing myth”: trying to do all their
communications through a single channel.
·
Integrating
marketing communications is like taking care of toddlers. You have to adapt
yourself to the personalities of multiple communications vehicles—public
relations, social media, content marketing, presentations, and the like.
·
The
dinosaurs aren’t dead yet. Traditional publicity still works. You have to
master the art of the query or the pitch.
·
News
releases are practical if used for real news and selectively.
·
And
let’s not forget what I call the PR aftermarket.
·
Facebook
is good for things like conversation starters, items related to a company’s
blog posts.
·
Linkedin
is great for business development, linking in real life with prospects.
·
Twitter
is wonderful for short messages, newsy items, and the like.
·
If
you’re marketing content, you’re in the publishing business. Publishing rides
on content. Keep to an editorial schedule. Make it frequent, consistent, and
regular. Publish opinions on news, trends, and business developments.
·
Master
the art of the short.
·
The big
question nobody asks: Where do your clients and prospect go for their
information?
·
Ya gotta
have a written communications strategy. Target audiences. Communications
objectives. Media program. Budget and resources, Analyze and assess results.
·
Remember:
Your website and your blog form your communications hubs.
·

Hank’s final tip for prospective customers:
Write your communications plan first. Then follow your plan. The end game: Be read. Be heard. Be seen. Be
known.
Hank’s special
offer for PositivelyPittsburghLive listeners and blog readers:
For the first five listeners or
readers who send an email with the subject line, “Lend a Hand,”Hank will
provide an hour of coaching free on integrating their PR, social media, and
content media.

Sunita Pandit, Mrs. Cardiology
Sunita started her website mrscardiology.com
two years ago
with a passion to dissipate information to patients that were and
are today seeking information they cannot get from their own doctor due to reasons
including time limitations and just not knowing what to ask.
 |
| Sunita and husband Dr. Santosh Pandit |
The site now is evolving to include her
Mrs.Cardiology podcasts from TalkShoe where she covers topics on nutrition and
healthy living and my take on how you can make your doctor successful with your
care.
Recent topics:
· Role of Protein in Weight Management
· Reasons You Don't Lose Weight
·
Antioxidants--
She is also passionate
about the use of essential oils from Doterra International because of the
improvement in the quality of life of those I take care of at home. My mom at
83 and multiple health issues is in great condition!
With the lines of products she promotes,
she also works with people wanting to earn a living in selling. Her
background is in Computer Science so my view is more analytical and so ... She
is a storehouse of information! Her goal is to make it easier for those
that she brings on to her team as she prefers easy and fun to hard and fuddy
duddy!
Her special offer is to come in and get scanned. Her regular price is $25 but as listeners
of Joanne's show, you get the
patient price - $20. Kids are $10. Come help her meet her goal of scanning 1000 people in Western Pennsylvania this year!
