Inside PR and PRSA present the Silver Anvil podcast series.

They decided to treat the new Trojan products as cool ‘tech gadgets’ and launch them at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. And while some media were red-faced when presented with the story, they quickly understood the tie in.

Inside PR and PRSA present the Silver Anvil podcast series. Martin Waxman interviews two Silver Anvil Awards finalists: “IBM’s Watson Takes on ‘Jeopardy!’ Three Days That Changed the Face of Computing” and “Renew, Honor, Play: The Christina-Taylor Green Little Hands Playground.”   “IBM’s Watson Takes on ‘Jeopardy!’ Three Days That Changed the Face of Computing” Scott Brooks is vice president, marketing and communications, for IBM Research. He talks to us about Watson, the computer-contestant on “Jeopardy” that defeated two of the show’s best players. Watson’s technology is based on the concept of ‘automatic question answering’.  A team of 25 people worked for years to improve the ability of computers to answer questions.  When the communications folks saw the initial results, they realized the public relations potential to build awareness and contacted “Jeopardy!” to see if they might be interested in a man-machine competition.   Getting an early start and narrowly targeting their prelaunch outreach was one of the strategies the communications group used to tell the complex story in long form. About 18 months before the matches, they approached three media influencers: New York Times Magazine to write a feature; PBS TV’s “Nova” to produce a documentary; and author Stephen Baker to write a book. The three had open access to Watson throughout its development.
