Businesses that included RCA and the Soap & Detergent Association (SDA) paid me to be the “face” of their brands in product publicity campaigns.

Both had messages they wanted to get to a mainstream audience — for RCA, those messages related to new remote control technology and for the SDA, they revolved around using cleaning products properly.

As the author of the humorous WHY CAN’T A MAN BE MORE LIKE A WOMAN?, I had a reputation for bringing a light-hearted touch to the gender wars. Because the publicity campaigns of both businesses were built around gender differences, I was hired to bring a little help and humor to what can be a touchy subject.

For RCA, I offered advice on how to make certain that TV viewing habits didn’t damage relationships while sharing information about how new technology would reduce the remote control wars. For the SDA, I provided specifics about the importance of reading cleaning products labels while discussing how to get help with the housework.

Their PR firms got me interviews with media outlets around the country, including the “CBS Early Show” (here’s the transcript), The New York Times, many other newspapers and magazines, and countless morning drive-time radio talk shows. I benefited from free media training and, of course, the exposure for my (now sold out!) humor book.
