If there is one date that people almost never forget, for better or worse, it’s the first one. 

For most people, first dates go one of two ways. There’s the “couldn’t-have-gone-better,” fairytale-like date comprised of great food, events and company. But then there is the “get-me-out-of here,” complete face-plant date. Having recently started an internship with CooperKatz, I realized there are uncanny similarities between first dates and starting an internship.

Purchased in March by Twitter, Periscope is the latest and hottest social media platform. A bit like FaceTime for the masses it allows people to connect with anyone and everyone via video in live-time. Power users like Amanda Oleander have already become instant celebrities for leveraging the app as a personal live-broadcast channel, much like early YouTubers did ten years ago. 

Last week, I had the chance to test out Periscope for the first time for one of our clients, Coldwell Banker. 

Whether you (or your kids!) grew up watching Sesame Street, The Muppet Show or Fraggle Rock, there’s no doubt that Jim Henson’s Muppets are a cultural powerhouse. From Julie Andrews and Steve Martin’s appearances on The Muppet Show to 2014’s star-studded Muppets Most Wanted, the Muppets have a long history of strategic partnerships and perfectly-timed cultural zingers that walk the fine line between current and classic – something any PR practitioner can seek to emulate.
