In what area of marketing/PR do you see the most innovation?
Social Media & Community Management. The most innovation often comes from the newest channels. This doesn't mean that they're the most important as much as they provide the most opportunity.
How would you describe the communications/PR industry's level of innovation?
More innovative then other marketing disciplines. Communications/PR industry innovation may appear to be less frequent, but when it happens, it's often at a higher and more impactful level than other marketing disciplines.
What is most important for the PR industry to do to foster more innovation?
Change the industry culture
How do you define innovation?
Innovation is the product of unusual thinking that drives extraordinary results; clear, long-term, positive change.

What brands and/or agencies are most innovative when it comes to marketing/PR?
I'm partial to Arrow Electronics and its partner agencies (Ogilvy, FleishmanHillard, Westmeath, and others).
Describe a moment in your career that you would consider 'innovative.'
Giving a B2B electronics distributor a mass-market identity behind the slogan "Five Years Out," and building its tangible expression in a race car driven by a quadriplegic was originally seen as laughably "innovative," while today it's recognized as transformational.
Something — not PR/marketing related — that is innovative.
The Constitution of the United States of America.
Please give our readers an idea of something that can inspire innovation — this can be a book/movie/podcast/activity/article.
Innovation comes from connecting dots between seemingly unrelated worlds; zoos and corporations, or art museums and engineering labs, for example.
