Diffusion has started up a program meant to help brands retool their campaigns, ideas and launches in light of the changes in the economic landscape brought about by the COVID-19 crisis. The Diffusion Gut Check will give brands an outside opinion on whether or not any new initiatives are a good or bad idea from a PR perspective. Ideas will be submitted (under NDA) to a group composed of both Diffusion executives and other PR leaders, who will then send back a five-minute assessment of the idea’s prospects for success. The assessment is free of charge. To send in your idea, send an email to [email protected] or click here.

RSM Marketing Services is joining forces with longtime client the Kansas Restaurant & Hospitality Association to support restaurants across the state. The RSM team has developed OpenInKS.com, which offers a centralized database of Kansas restaurants that are open for carryout, curbside and/or delivery. It allows customers to sort by city, service options, cuisine and view menus. Restaurants and lodging establishments can add their listing at no cost. "At a time like this, you need to do more marketing, not less," said RSM managing partner Bruce Rowley. "It's all about direct connection and communication. The go-to tactic is social media, but we found that many small restaurant and hospitality businesses don't have an established platform. Building that up takes time that they don't have right now.”
