The link that might finally get your CEO to post

Hey,

Group chats are fun. These are the links I would've dropped if we were in one together.

šŸ‘©ā€šŸ’¼ Send this to your CEO: Internal comms besties… struggling to amplify your impact or get your leadership team on board with LinkedIn? Send them this post from Hootsuite’s CEO.

šŸ“ˆ PR’s major tailwind: MuckRack’s GenAI report should be your go-to for your next media list or campaign. If you're not already exploring how earned media drives GenAI answers, now’s the time.

😬 But here’s the plot twist... GenAI answers are also wrecking publisher traffic, and NYMag goes deep. How do we stop the bleeding when AI both needs and destroys earned media?

šŸ“£ Straight from a journalist’s inbox: Always love when a reporter spells it out: what freelance journalist Kimanzi Constable actually reads and what goes straight to trash (spoiler alert: press releases).

šŸ› ļø Comms Team Builder Guide: This is officially my most-downloaded freebie ever. Snag the Comms Team Builder (no gate for email subscribers!) and get the framework to build a powerhouse team — whether you’re hiring 2 or 20.

šŸš€ Crisis Queen weighs in: When you're ready to read about Astronomergate again, Molly McPherson breaks it all down in her 5 PR Lessons from the Coldplay Concert.

PS: I’ve got two spots left for 1:1 comms leadership coaching if you want to go deeper on your career growth.

PPS: Last week’s most-clicked link was Bobbie’s Chief Brand Officer, Kim Chappell’s LinkedIn. My fave is her in an inflatable Bobbie costume in a Costco parking lot.

The year of the Fire Horse
Happy Lunar New Year. It's the year of the Fire Horse, representing intense energy and rapid change. And here I was thinking that was already happening since ChatGPT dropped in '23.

A go direct case study
Ā  Hey besties, Happy Galentine’s Day. šŸ’— Here's what hit the group chat this week šŸ‘‡ šŸ“£Ā Go direct case study:Ā "No one cares that you redesigned your app" -every comms person ever.
