Lisa Orman- The Most Promising PR Companies in 2024

Lisa Orman

Digital Version Lisa Orman, PR President, KidStuff Public Relations (PR) is primarily an awareness-building tool. PR firms navigate the digital realm, ensuring clients maintain a strong online presence and engage with diverse communities. Offering strategic counsel, they align communication efforts with business objectives, identifying opportunities for positive exposure and collaboration. In an era of globalization, PR firms adapt messages for cross-cultural resonance, while their data-driven approach ensures measurable impact, contributing to the sustained success of brands and organizations. In the pool of women entrepreneurs who are transitioning into outstanding ground breakers, we interviewed Lisa Orman, to know how she and her team are effectively building awareness for companies and their products. President and Founder at KidStuff PR, Lisa explains how they’re specialized in raising awareness among families by employing targeted strategies that address their unique needs and challenges. 1. What’s your perspective on the present state of the PR industry? What major challenges do PR firms face in the current landscape? The PR industry, like many others, is in a state of consolidation with acquisitions and mergers. For those of us who remain independent, which KidStuff PR has for 30 years, it is imperative that we differentiate, provide exceptional services, excel at our service and remain relevant by constantly innovating, educating and training ourselves in new techniques, tools and practices. One of the main obstacles for PR firms is a lack of understanding by clients about the role PR serves. Primarily, PR is an awareness-building tool. Advertising and marketing drive sales. The three can work together for excellent results. But we must educate clients about what PR can do well, and what it can’t or isn’t meant to do and to build realistic expectations. The ROI can be exceptional! 2. When was KidStuff Public Relations established? Could you outline the core values that drive the company’s mission and vision in the PR domain? KidStuff Public Relations was founded in 1994 by me. I started with a team of independent contractors who were mothers of young children and professional publicists. They were based around the country, and all worked from home—remote work that was considered pioneering at the time! We focused on, and still do, working with specialty toy and game companies and others in the play space. We specialize in working with startups and entrepreneurial businesses. When we started, our children were our play testers. If they didn’t love a toy and weren’t engaged by it, we didn’t work with the company. Now our kids are grown. As experienced parents, along with various play certifications we have attained, we trust our gut instincts on successful toys. We also achieved the Certified Play Expert qualification from Astra, a toy trade association. 3. Can you give an overview of the services and solutions KidStuff Public Relations offers that stand out as company’s strengths? We build awareness for companies and their products or services by getting them featured in traditional media like TV, print publications, digital media and on family influencer channels. We also work with toy, gift, and licensing trade media. Our business model is quite different than that of most PR agencies. Most are vertically oriented with the president or top execs pitching new accounts and winning business contract, and then clients are assigned a (usually young, inexperienced) account executive. That person is responsible for all activities the client needs, including tasks the account executive is just OK at doing, or worse, bad at performing and they dislike doing them. This leads to mediocre work product and inexperienced people working on client accounts. Employees are unhappy because they spend a lot of time doing tasks, they aren’t great at, so they get a lot of negative feedback, plus they don’t earn a lot of money, so this leads to high turnover. I’ve had clients come to me frustrated that they’ve had four account executives at their last PR agency in one year and there’s no institutional knowledge of their company at the PR agency. The president of the agency is not involved in strategy or client relations at all, or very little. At KidStuff PR, we have a horizontal business model, where our experienced team members including President Lisa Orman, only work on the things they are great at and love to do, and they do these things for all clients, rather than doing everything for only one or two clients. This makes for a much happier and productive team, longevity with our team members, and a top-quality work product and performance for the client. Orman is the primary contact for clients and deeply enjoys working closely with clients to craft a strategy, lead it, shape it and advise the client if changes need to be made and why. 4. As the President of KidStuff Public Relations, could you elaborate on your responsibilities? What aspect of your role do you find most fulfilling and impactful? Although we have worked with some of the biggest national and global toy manufacturers, I find working with start-ups and the smaller mom-and-pop companies to be the most fulfilling. Our work and success for our clients is more meaningful and impactful than for a huge company with a huge budget and team. We build trust with our clients, and they believe we have their back. We feel truly gratified when we are a big part of their success. To have a company look back 5-7 years after they started their business and say “I’m so glad I hired KidStuff PR when we started out. I know we are where we are now because they helped us navigate our way as we started, helped us build awareness among our target audience and now we have loyal fans and our business is expanding.”  I also know that I am lucky to have raised my kids with my toy business and they are brilliant adults now because they grew up playing with developmental, educational toys. I am gratified I was able to do that for my PR team

Just “Chill”! What is Cold Shower Therapy, And Why Go For It?

Cold Shower Therapy

Joel Runyon’s Cold Shower Therapy is getting popular. Cold showers for stress relief are widely used by players, hikers, and more. What are its benefits? Stress and Cold Shower Therapy: A Saga! In a world where comfort and warmth are linked with relaxation, the idea of putting oneself in a cold shower might seem “chilling” (Literally). However, the benefits of Cold Shower Therapy argue that embracing this chilly ritual can lead to many health benefits. Ranging from increased energy levels to stress relief. In this article, we’ll explore the advantages of cold showers and delve into the realm of Cold Shower for stress relief, examining how this seemingly uncomfortable practice can contribute to overall wellness. The Warm Benefits of Cold Showers 1. Boosting Metabolism and Circulation One of the primary benefits of cold showers is their ability to boost metabolism and enhance circulation. When exposed to cold water, the body reacts by increasing blood flow to vital organs to maintain internal warmth. This heightened circulation not only supports cardiovascular health but also stimulates the metabolic rate, potentially aiding in weight management. 2. Enhanced Alertness and Energy Levels The shock of cold water on the skin triggers an immediate and involuntary response from the nervous system. The sudden exposure to cold stimulates the production of adrenaline, a hormone associated with the “fight or flight” response. This surge in adrenaline can lead to increased alertness and a sudden burst of energy, making cold showers an invigorating way to start the day. The benefits of cold showers have lasting effects on overall health.  3. Cold Shower Therapy for Stress Relief Cold Shower Therapy is a concept popularized by entrepreneur and author Joel Runyon. It involves intentionally taking cold showers as a form of mental and emotional resilience training. The theory is that by exposing oneself to discomfort voluntarily, one can build mental toughness. This can also lead to managing stress more effectively. Cold showers are seen as a controlled environment for inducing stress, teaching individuals how to handle challenging situations with composure. 4. Improved Mood and Mental Well-Being Beyond the bodily benefits, cold showers are believed to have a positive impact on mental well-being. The release of endorphins, often referred to as “feel-good” hormones, during and after a cold shower can contribute to an improved mood and reduced feelings of anxiety and depression. Some individuals find that the shock of cold water serves as a natural mood enhancer. Helping them face the challenges of the day with a more positive mindset. . The benefits of cold showers have physical and mental benefits making it a perfect replacement/addition to your life. 5. Cold Showers for Skin and Hair Health  Cold water is known for its ability to constrict blood vessels and pores. This can result in tighter and firmer skin, reducing the appearance of puffiness and inflammation. Additionally, cold water can help seal the hair cuticle, preventing frizz and promoting shinier, healthier hair. For those concerned about the impact of hot water on their skin and hair, incorporating cold showers into their routine may offer a natural solution. 6. Enhanced Recovery After Exercise Athletes and fitness enthusiasts often turn to cold showers as part of their post-exercise routine. The cold water is believed to reduce muscle soreness and inflammation, providing a refreshing way to accelerate the recovery process. Some sports professionals even use cryotherapy, which involves exposure to frigid temperatures, to promote faster healing and reduce the risk of injuries. 7. Increased Resilience to Cold Weather Regular exposure to cold showers may help the body acclimate to colder temperatures over time. This increased resilience can be particularly beneficial in regions with harsh winter climates. Individuals who consistently expose themselves to cold water may find that they tolerate colder weather more comfortably, experiencing less discomfort when faced with chilly conditions. In conclusion, the benefits of cold showers extend beyond the initial discomfort, offering a holistic approach to health and wellness. Whether it’s the physiological advantages of increased metabolism, cold showers for stress relief work wonders. There are also mental benefits of stress relief, improved mood, and a positive impact on skin and hair health. Cold showers for wellness have garnered attention for their potential to enhance overall well-being.  Cold Showers for stress relief, in particular, emphasize the intentional embrace of discomfort as a means of building mental resilience. While the practice may not be suitable for everyone, those who adopt it often praise its transformative effects on their mindset and stress management skills. As with any health-related practice, individual experiences may vary, and it’s essential to listen to your body. If you have pre-existing medical conditions or concerns, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes. Before enjoying the benefits of cold showers, it is important to know your tolerance and capacity. In the quest for enhanced health and energy, cold showers stand as a unique and invigorating option worth exploring.

US Finance Made Simple: Your Practical Guide to Money Matters

manage finance, money management, and improve finances money.

The most important aspect of leading a secure and enjoyable life in the United States is successful money management. Whatever stage of life you’re in—college, employment, or retirement—it’s critical to know how to manage your finances well. We’ll go through the necessary phases and ways to cope in this successful in-depth guide that will help you navigate the complicated US financial system. 1. Create a Budget Preparing a budget is the first step to efficiently manage finance. A budget is an extensive plan which outlines your income, costs, and financial objectives. This is how you make one: 2. Build an Emergency Fund It cannot be exaggerated that creating an emergency fund is an essential component of managing finance and achieving financial stability. This financial cushion acts as a buffer against life’s unexpected and frequently expensive curveballs. Unexpected costs can appear at any time, whether they take the form of outrageous medical bills, unexpected auto repairs, or an unexpected loss of employment. Your capacity to endure these storms without turning to expensive loans or building up terrible debt depends on having an emergency fund set up.Start by carefully examining your monthly costs. Included in this are your rent or mortgage, utilities, food items, personal costs for travel, insurance premiums, and all other monthly fees.

Axiom 2’s Four Astronauts Touchdown At Florida Coast

Axiom 2, NASA, Astronauts, Florida

After spending six months on the International Space Station, four astronauts have returned to Earth. On Monday, their SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft made a splashdown touchdown off the coast of Florida. The Axion 2 crew embarked a quite “off the plan” journey. On Sunday at 7:05 a.m. ET, the astronauts, who were taking part in NASA and SpaceX’s Crew-6 mission, left the space station. As it navigated through Earth’s orbit and toward its intended landing spot off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida, where they touched down around midnight ET, the crew spent the day inside the 13-foot-wide Crew Dragon craft. The Crew-6 team consists of four astronauts: Warren “Woody” Hoburg and Stephen Bowen from NASA, Sultan Alneyadi, the second astronaut from the United Arab Emirates to venture into space, and Russian cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev. What Happened? The final stage of the Crew Dragon capsule’s fall saw the spacecraft’s exterior heat up to roughly 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit as it ripped down into the densest region of Earth’s atmosphere while moving at a speed of more than 17,000 miles per hour. The heat barrier protecting the occupants within the spacecraft’s cabin should have maintained a pleasant temperature much below 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The Axiom Mission 2 crew, which consisted of one retired NASA astronaut and three paying customers, one an American businessman and two Saudi Arabian astronauts, was also hosted by the Crew-6 astronauts throughout their stay. This voyage was a component of a strategy to boost commercial activity in low-Earth orbit by frequently transporting tourists and other paying customers to the International Space Station. The Axiom Mission 2 Axiom Station, the first commercial space station in the world and the ISS’s replacement, is being built as a result of Axiom Mission 2 (Ax-2) by Axiom Space, the company’s second all-private astronaut mission to the International Space Station (ISS). May 21 saw the launch of the Ax-2 crew. The four-member Axiom Space crew launched into orbit in SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft atop its Falcon 9 rocket to take part in the mission. They will work and live in the orbiting laboratory to carry out a full slate of scientific, educational, and commercial activities.
