"Press Releases" or the lack of

I cannot find the post now but I believe it may have been LMU who posted it. There was a comment that there do not seem to have been any press releases for a while and they were concerned about why they had not been appearing.

The press releases are still occurring, but they are no longer on IHub. If you wish to read them they can be found here on Yahoo.

If anything they appear to be coming out even more quickly than they ever have before with six over the last week.

One thing I have noticed is that Constellation used to be the PR company and Jans Daalsgard was the President, then it went to Erastar, still with Daalsgard as the President, then just to Erastar with no company contact person listed. It was at this time that the press releases started thinning out on IHub and then eventually disappeared from this venue. The most recent press release makes no mention at all of Erastar or any other PR firm but is simply signed off by Chaya. This would appear to indicate that Constellation/Erastar may no longer be linked with SMME. There was a rather short experiment last year when we were using another PR firm ,Olmsted Williams Communications and we may be going elsewhere again.

This may be why the press releases have narrowed to not include IHub. There may have been an arrangement between Constellation/Erastar with IHub that Chaya doesn't share or possible just due to time constraints on her part.

Still OBP, just having to learn to be even more Patient.........
