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.

Your comms AI chief of staff
Hello friends, Happy Masters Week to those who celebrate ā›³ļø. One thing you might not know about me: I married into a golf family. Both of my in-laws were professional golfers. There's so much hardware in their house that the guest bathroom mouthwash holder is a championship trophy. Normal. Unfortunately, my sports prowess begins and ends with loving to watch. I've never broken 100 on the course...

Hey besties, Here’s what had my group chats lighting up this week. šŸ¤–Ā PR for Your AI: I'veĀ longĀ been a proponent of "doing PR for your AI" program. Basically meaning, you need to be talking about how you're automating rote work and doing more strategic work with AI. Two things on this stuck out for me this week: One CEO literallyĀ saidĀ it: ā€œIf someone came to me and said ā€˜hey I...
Delayed accountability, swift action
Hey besties, A departure from our normal links-based newsletter this week. We’ll dive into how two comms teams responded to allegations of harm against children. One acted immediately. The other waited until they had no choice. ✊ First: United Farm Workers and Cesar Chavez The New York Times published a harrowing, explosive account of rape and abuse allegations of minors against Cesar Chavez, t...
