We're getting requests for another Snacky or Flacky contest. You know, the one where we objectified some of Silicon Valley's brightest public relations stars. You people are sick. Can't you tell that we at Valleywag have moved beyond such exploitation? This space is for honoring the hard work of PR professionals,…
Give it up for Brooke Hammerling, winner of the Snacky or Flacky tourney of Valley PR hotties! The Brew PR founder was outvoted over runner-up Terra Carmichael from Yahoo in the final round of Snacky or Flacky. If you see her this weekend, buy the girl a drink.
Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls of legal age! I bring you the two hottest people in PR, already deemed the most delectable from a hand-picked pool of the sexiest men and women in Valley publicity, now competing for the title of Snackiest Flack!
Valleywag readers finally narrow down the choice for snackiest flacky to two finalists. And they choose wisely. (How could they not, with every choice being a perfect 10?)
It's gonna be tough. But you can pick. Who is more deserving of battling another PR peep for the title of the Snackiest Flack? Brooke Hammerling comes from her own firm, Brew PR; Margaux Vega is a rising star at major firm Weber Shandwick. Will the co-worker votes win it, or will a pure snackiness meritocracy decide…
First off, another note to the guys e-mailing Snacky or Flacky contestants to ask them out: You are so lame. That is what startup demo parties are for.
Two gentleman learn the meaning of "glass ceiling" in what's less a victory for open source and more a sad confirmation that this blog won't get me thousands of fawning female fans. Weber Shandwick's Margaux Vega beats co-worker Jeremy Pepper, and Brew Media's Brooke Hammerling takes a landslide — no, a massive…
Jeremy Pepper is dead in the water. The PR blogger knows he has no chance in the latest Snacky or Flacky round against his Weber Shandwick co-worker Margaux Vega — hell, even he's voting for her. But can we at least make Jeremy's exit smooth and painless? After else, who else would be brave enough to face a face-off…
Could one man have the chance of winning over a woman in a Valleywag Hotties face-off? If anyone, it'd be Ogilvy employee Justin O'Neill, who recently trounced Google uber-hottie Nathan Tyler. But Justin's up against Brooke Hammerling, a publicist for Larry Ellison's non-Oracle properties, recently spotted hanging…
Two more PR hotties drop out of Snacky or Flacky in weekend voting. Next up, two more face-offs determine tomorrow's herd-thinning.
Stage 2 of Snacky or Flacky, Valleywag's PR hotties tourney, continues as Yahoo publicist Terra Carmichael faces off with Simply Hired publicist Kay Luo.
Welcome to Stage 2 of Snacky or Flacky, Valleywag's PR hotties tourney.
The Snacky or Flacky prelims are over, half the PR hotties are voted out (but will have lucrative record contracts anyway). Congrats to the winners! Let's see which get bumped off next. Left to right: Justin O'Neill, Brooke Hammerling, Jeremy Pepper, and Margaux Vega.
These two lovely young ladies hail from PR firm Weber Shandwick, which snatched them up before they even turned 25 (the "over the hill" age adjusted for the PR industry). Now they're the two final entrants for Snacky or Flacky. You've got all night to vote.
Finally, some testosterone! Or, well, some guys at least. Of these two male "Snacky or Flacky" contestants, one knows how to make beautiful noise — the other, well, at least he makes noise. Ladies and gentleman, publicist Miles Perkins of Industrial Light and Magic, and blogger Jeremy Pepper of Weber Shandwick…
Lauren Strain moved from PR at Yahoo to marketing — she's now a spokesperson emeritus. Brooke Hammerling, though, is still rockin' the publicity wagon — she founded her own firm, Brew Media Relations. A recent project: organizing a party on Larry Ellison's yacht for her client NetSuite.
Ogilvy PR man Justin O'Neill faces a tough challenge in this morning's round of Snacky or Flacky, the Valleywag PR hotties tourney. Justin may have a sweet Facebook profile that shows his charming personality — but Google PR consultant Nathan Tyler's got a posse. The last time Nathan was on Valleywag, commenters…
Another fun round of Valleywag's PR hotties tournament, Snacky or Flacky, wraps up:
Susan MacTavish Best pimped her client (and partner in crime), Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster, in the original Valleywag Hotties tourney. She must have known she couldn't escape a similar fate this time around, so here she is, in a face-off against Kay Luo. Kay is the Simply Hired marketing director who thought up a…
