BALTIMORE, MD (July 24, 2006) -- A new voice has been added to the blog of Sawmill Marketing Public Relations, a Baltimore public relations firm specializing in national media relations, media training and crisis communications.

Named "Buzz," the firm's opinionated icon with dangling "P.R." earrings is the unique blog voice of Sawmill Marketing Public Relations. Written by agency principals Susan J. Anthony and Jeffrey A. Davis, the Sawmill blog - and most notably "Buzz" - delivers sharper edge insights about marketing communications through ongoing commentary on trends and current events - exclusively from a public relations point-of-view.

"More often than not it will be a view unlike any other and one that we hope will make a lasting impression," Davis said. "Buzz's insights and occasional rants - on local issues as well as national topics - will help open readers' eyes to the power of PR."

In addition to the entries from Buzz, the Sawmill blog features commentary from Anthony and Davis on media relations, media training and crisis communications issues. Topics since the blog was launched earlier this year include Katie Couric's new anchor job and how her bonuses will be tied to ratings, ExxonMobil's handling of the gasoline spill in Jacksonville, Md., views on the need for crisis communications plans in the wake of the Duke lacrosse team scandal, and Buzz's one-on-one encounter with CBS Evening News anchor Bob Schieffer after the College of Notre Dame commencement in Baltimore.

Sawmill Marketing Public Relations, headquartered in Baltimore, was established in 1995 and specializes in media training, crisis communications and media relations for business-to-business, business-to-consumer and professional services clients.
