The Idea Grove's agency blog, Media Orchard, is drawing praise nationally for its candid insights into the worlds of marketing, media and public relations.

"Even though Scott Baradell's firm, Idea Grove, is not the largest strategic communications agency in Dallas, you wouldn't know it by his blog, Media Orchard," wrote David Henderson in The Strategist, the magazine of the Public Relations Society of America. "Media Orchard has gained status as a news source in the world of public relations, regularly quoted by industry observers, the media and PR bloggers, alike."

Media Orchard ranks as one of the 3,500 most influential blogs in the world, as measured by Technorati, and as one of the top five blogs with a focus on public relations issues. Steve Rubel, pronounced the "doyen" of PR blogging by BusinessWeek, recently called Media Orchard his favorite blog. And MarketingProfs.com, the respected resource for marketing commentary, has tapped Baradell as a contributor.

"We invite prospective clients to learn more about us by reading our blog," Baradell said. "What you see is what you get: honesty, good humor, distinctive writing, and insights gained through years in the marketing trenches."
