Congratulations to the whole team here at Topaz are in order. Our firm was voted #1 mid-sized tech PR agency in a national survey of over 800 IT and business media journalists conducted by PRSourceCode. THAT feels good!

Just a few days after Topaz Partners celebrated its sixth year of business, our blog is celebrating its fourth year! Our first post, like most first posts, wasn’t terribly profound, but it did try to help folks understand the whole RSS idea back when most PR agencies were blissfully unaware of the coming social media revolution / evolution / utopia / anarchy.

To give credit where credit is due, Todd Defren beat us on the Boston PR blogging scene by a month. But since that inauspicious start, Topaz Partners has continued to be one of the most innovative PR firms in the region when it comes to social media, if I may say so myself.

This is the blog that helped launch dozens of other blogs, from personal blogs for our employees to CEO and corporate blogs for our clients. Our track record of client blog abandonment remains strong, based on some napkin math I did last night–we’re hitting more than .500, which is pretty impressive given the overall drop in corporate blogging we’re seeing.

UPDATE: AN Hosting and Midphase are crediting me a whole month for being down for most of the day today–THE DAY THIS BLOG IS SUPPOSED TO BE CELEBRATING ITS 4TH ANNIVERSARY! Wow, thanks, guys.

Last night, Topaz Partners celebrated its 6th anniversary, and the onset of summer, with a real-live Summer Mashup. More than a hundred folks stopped by from local and regional companies, agencies, news outlets and analyst firms. A good time was had by all, and we may turn this into a tradition…
