December 10, 2008 | Written by Darius Razgaitis
Ruder Finn co-CEO Kathy Bloomgarden recently penned an article for Harvard Business School blog Conversation Starter, talking about PR lessons from the congressional testimony of the "Big Three" automaker CEOs:
Detroit’s PR Lessons and the Right Way to Ask for Help
Her main points:
1) Be sincerely willing to talk–and act–differently
2) Understand the context and present a fact-based case
3) Admit mistakes and take the blame
From a digital trends perspective, it’s interesting to note that the Big 3 have taken their case to the web with sites like Ford’s The Ford Story and GM’s GMFactsandFiction.com that address their respective cases for federal aid.
