Comms Bestie Group Chat [Oct. 17, 2025]
|
Hey friends, |
|
|
Maybe I spent too much time on airplanes⦠or was it actually a quieter week in comms? Either way, here's what would've made it into the group chat: |
|
|
š» Reddit scares me: Eleanorās reporting has me asking, whoās doing Reddit? Cause Iāmma be honest friends, tread carefully. Be clear about who you are and be helpful. Any whiff of being promotional ā even if it doesnāt come from you ā will have you accused of doing it all for the AI. |
|
|
š„ Better personal branding: My take: you should spend 95% of your time on your exec's social profile and 5% on the brand account (not the other way around). People trust people, not brands. To help: Make LinkedIn Weird's Jillian Richardson has two solid guides on writing hooks and optimizing posts. |

āļø Simplify your language: Biggest takeaway from my talk with app founders in NYC this week? Cut "data-driven" and "AI-powered" from your messaging. If any company could say it, you shouldn't. |
|
|
š¤ Speaking of AI: Here's a solid prompt guide from Liora Kern at The Think Room for clear communications. (Though I still believe you only need one prompt ever.) |
|
|
šÆ IRL yay: Thanks to everyone who came to the first Off the Record x Meredith & The Media happy hour in NYC. Where should we go next? |
|

|
Chat soon, |
|
|
PS: Last weekās most-clicked was Katie Porter's on-air F-bomb, with the Crisis Comms Template a close second. |
