Hi, I’m Barbara, the writer behind the screen.

In June 2006 I started this blog. My intent? To help thousands of people get better marketing and PR results.

What does wiredPRworks mean?
WIRED is the acronym for my social media system. PR stands for many things, including public relations, personality & reputation, pitch redux and punk rock. Depending on which side you’re on, works is either a call to action or a declaration.
In 2006, there was no twitter. Facebook was for college kids. And, LinkedIn was for close contacts only.
Two years before I published a post of my own, I started teaching blogging. And, before that I led the team that implemented the first intranet installation for a major retailer in 1998.
My first web site went live in 1996. I love what I do. I hope it shows. Thanks for stopping by our space. I hope you’ll come back and visit again and again.
