  • How to Use AI in PR for Your Clients (Is It Even Ethical?)

    Are You Ready for Artificial Intelligence to Make Its Mark on PR? 👀

    Honestly, artificial intelligence sounds like something out of a creepy apocalyptic sci-fi movie 👽

  • 5 Tips for Building Stronger and Deeper Media Connections

    Are You Building Truly Meaningful Connections with Your Media Contacts? 🤔

    As a PR pro, your media connections are a key 🔑 part of landing top-tier press features for your clients.

    A strong connection with a media contact can turn into countless opportunities even as they move between publications! 🙌

    You don’t have to start spilling your deepest, darkest secrets to your niche’s editors — you just have to start up a rapport and invest time and effort to build genuine respect for each other 👯‍♀️

    Listen now to discover 5 of my BEST strategies for deepening your connections with your media contacts to foster meaningful, lasting relationships.
