It’s October 3. That used to mean Mean Girls Day. This year, it’s Life of a Showgirl Day. Happy celebrating. 🧔 

Here’s what else is in the group chat…

šŸŽ“ļø GEO PR Cert: Muck Rack just launched a new GEO Fundamentals course packed with actionable insights and a fun completion certificate!

āœļø CommConnect Cliffs Notes: Regine Nelson shared one key takeaway from every single session, so you don’t have to watch 5 hours of recaps. Bless!

😔 Trend I hate: Culture-war campaigns driven by bots dragging brands into chaos. Just another thing for the comms nightmares list. Cool cool cool cool cool.

🤳 One more link for your ā€œwhy our CEO should have a strong social presenceā€ preso: People trust CEOs the most as the spox in a crisis. Tracks.

✨ Not on my 2025 bingo card: Facilitating a comms team offsite! I spent yesterday with some brilliant communicators at one of the most exciting private tech companies. DM me if you want some Comms BFF energy to your next team meeting.

 

 

 

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

PS: Last week’s most-clicked was WSJ’s cybersecurity reporter James Rundle on how to pitch him. Oh and here’s his source list… add yourself!

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...
