My friend Mr. Outdoor Living asked derekPR to help their exterior design business with helpful PR ideas. The friendship will last a lifetime, the business relationship lasted a month, yet, oh, what a month it was. I took more interest in the fact that my bud had taken his family to 58 state parks before their children were 18. I thought that might be of interest for a national story and USA Today bit, putting him and his family on the cover of the money section. The business relationship was put on hiatus before we even got started, yet they got a story they’ll never forget.
