Comms Bestie Group Chat [September 12, 2025]

Is Claude Code our new comms AI writing bestie?

             

Hey,

Here’s this week’s group chat drop 👇️ 

🤖 AI writing partner of your dreams? Helen Kupp (my former Slack coworker, now leading Women Defining AI) dropped a insight-packed post on how Claude Code might be the best AI writing buddy. She even shares a step-by-step template to getting set up. Who’s trying this with me?

🐒 Internal comms besties: Mark your calendars. Yours truly is joining ContactMonkey’s CommsConnect event on change management, employee experience, and AI. Virtual, free, and bound to give good takeaways.

🎙 Your turn: who should go on Under Embargo? Becca Chambers wants your nominations for upcoming podcast guests. Time to put your dream lineup in the comments. (OTR members, you’ll get the inside scoop from the hosts themselves in our upcoming Special Event!)

✨ Stay tuned: Off the Record membership reopens Monday for one week only. As member Pam Morris puts it: “We can be badass communicators and also care about developing each other.” Green flag!

🍌 Just for fun: Google’s Nano Banana image generator has me designing Off the Record collectibles. Never coming to a store near you… but I regret nothing.

Just in time for membership to reopen next week :)

Chat soon,
Gab Ferree
Founder & Your Comms BFF, Off the Record

PS: Last week’s most-clicked was Leah’s Jobs List packed with 110+ comms jobs.

Who will take the OpenAI CCO job?
Hey besties, Full disclosure: I've been in build mode, creating something new and exciting for our OTR members (and, of course, a bit for you all too). I've been deep in code and QA instead of group chats, but couldn't miss the chance to share what's been floating around this week. 👇️ 📨 Pitch perfect: Garth Corfield of The Telegraph shares exactly how he decides which press pitches ...
Announcement on ramps
Hey friends, If we were in a group chat, here's everything I would have dropped (at 4:37am because my children have decided this is an appropriate wakeup time): 👇️ 🚗 Announcement on ramps: Rachel Karten of Link in Bio (literally) wrote out your next announcement strategy. The hint: lots of on-ramps, and assume no one sees anything the first time. h/t Rachel Karten // Link...
We've Got New (Media) Rules
Hey besties, For four straight weeks, I've run a subject line A/B test: one version I write, the other I leave to AI. For four straight weeks, I've lost. The bots have won. But like Dwight vs. Dunder Mifflin Infinity, I will not relent. I will win someday, and I will shout it from the rooftops. Let’s group chat. 👇️ 💬 Bestie real talk: There's feedback your boss gives you (probably drafted in AI...
