The lovely Mary Lorson popped us a comment over at Where is Mauritius?, asking, "Really? How does someone from Selinsgrove end up off the coast of Africa?"  Well, Mark Harrison, our favorite CEO at Abraham Harrison, responded.

There is a misconception among many old-media PR shops that online PR is pretty much like the old-school stuff, just in a different place.  This this leads to a lot of the clumsy,  ineffectual, and often offending attempts at online PR that we see around the internet – unfortunately, almost every day .  New media online PR is a very different world, a very different culture from old-media, and an entirely different approach.  It's not easy, and it is continually evolving terrain, but it is very effective when done correctly and with enough commitment.

We at Abraham Harrison, LLC, have built our entire company around enabling our team members to live and work from anywhere in the world; as long as they have a good internet connection and their laptop.

In fact, Abraham Harrison, LLC was formed three years ago while our CEO, Mark Harrison, was living and volunteering in a small fishing village on the southern tip of Zanzibar.  His thatch-roofed hut had no running water, but it had electricity and a 3G mobile internet connection.
