Even a half a foot of snow in Richmond (and three inches in New Jersey where Stacey lives) can’t stop us from celebrating media relations success.

First, a great placement for Sandler Training, the leading global sales and leadership training outfit. This CIO.com placement quotes Sandler VP Brian Sullivan sharing his thoughts on using LinkedIn for lead generation. A true team effort on our end and a month in the making.

Second, a national placement for a just-released survey from Monmouth University pollster, Patrick Murray, on Americans thoughts on the future of manned space-flight. This one landed as the main focus of a piece on The Switch, The Washington Post’s policy/tech blog.

The Gong in the headline refers to our practice of banging the Gong hanging in our office to celebrate a media relations (or other) success.

First person to brave the snow back to the office, please go ahead and bang it.
