Go Daddy CEO Launches Video Blog
Go Daddy’s CEO and founder recently unveiled his latest venture, not your average corporate communication, or a typical canned PR message. Nope, www.BobParsons.tv is an in-your-face, tell-it-like-it-is video blog used to speak directly to customers, employees and even the media. It’s blunt, it’s unvarnished, even irreverent – and it’s out there for anyone to see.
Few business leaders provide transparent messages or understand the importance of embracing new technology. Some critics have questioned the wisdom of letting an executive speak off the cuff and PR professionals might scoff at publishing an unfiltered message – but Parsons sees true value in putting his views ‘on the record.’
ummm.. Yikes!
