So apparently I’m not the first person to notice this, but on Twitter, there’s a difference between @replies and mentions. It’s a simple concept but many seem to be unaware. Here’s a very recent post from @PRNews which describes itself as “The public relations professional’s resource for ideas, strategies and

Geoff Campbell: How Crayola confirms graduate school now fits into my career goals
There is some disagreement about whether or not it’s a good idea to go to graduate school for public relations directly out of undergraduate school. An informal survey by the pros at PRSA showed some extreme confirmation bias. Every single one of the respondents who went straight to grad school

Geoff Campbell at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications After much deliberation, I’ve decided that I’m going to pursue my Master of Science in Public Relations from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University (SU) in Syracuse, NY. This past weekend I visited the city and

So my four years at Mount Allison are done but the work I did is still live. Although much of my academic writing isn’t very pertinent to what I’m doing next, the other work I did there will is relevant. Time goes quickly and so I thought it necessary to

So I’m starting to explore my future career in communications. I’m starting by reading This is PR: The Realities of Public Relations, which is apparently the standard introductory textbook for the profession. I’ll be sharing some notes on this text and others as I wade my way into public relations.

If you’re looking for a professional job where people will do any sort of background check, they’re going to at the very least google your name, and it’s important to have only the best results show up on the first page of results, and very important you get to be

Hey everyone. I just wanted to write a bit of a post for everybody at Mount Allison (and everywhere else) on how to keep in touch with me now that I’ve moved back to Boston. If we knew each other I’m sure we’re already friends on Facebook (Geoff Campbell). Anybody

Yesterday I graduated with a B.A. Honours in International Relations at Mount Allison University. Today, I travelled from there back home to Boston. It’s tough leaving a place I’ve called home for longer than anywhere else since I a little boy. It was an incredible experience. I learned, read, and

I’m leaving Mount Allison University and Sackville, NB today. I don’t know if/when I’ll ever be back. I’ve called this place home for 1356 days now. That seems like an insane number. Four years of laughs, stress, exciting nights, restless nights, days in the sun, days in the library. At times it’s

My co-workers are pretty awesome. This afternoon I finished up my last day of work at the Marketing and Communications Office at Mount Allison University.
