Before, during and after a PR crisis, information and communication are key. There are very few crisis situations where less communication is better. It is almost always the case that more communication, and more well-informed communication, is the best strategy. That’s why media monitoring, sentiment analysis and competitive intelligence gathering are your best friends in a time of crisis.

One of the most frustrating parts of working in PR or media relations is getting the “too busy” response. You have a solid pitch or a compelling announcement, but the feedback from media is that they have too much going on to cover this story. While breaking news will often take precedence, skilled PR teams will do everything they can to nail that interview or story.

A couple weeks ago, Pew Internet released another great report detailing social media use in 2021. I recommend taking a peek at the whole report since it outlines many demos around who’s using which platforms. For example, LinkedIn trends toward white, middle-aged men with college degrees making $75+. Makes sense, right? Meanwhile, TikTok trends younger Hispanic and African-American women with lower incomes and some college.

When you’re in the business of communicating, what you say matters. A lot. And the language you use can say much more about who you are and what you care about than the actual message itself. Words and phrases have nuances; they have histories. And they can suggest a subtext that you may not intend.

Working in PR seems the reverse of the old quote: “I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.” Groucho Marx. The club, or field of PR, can disdain those who want to join; particularly people so entrenched that they lack little “real world” experience. For example I started interviewing for PR gigs in my late thirties, after taking a circuitous route through various sales, marketing and IT consulting roles.

People in PR and media circles have been excited about Clubhouse for at least six months. In part that’s because it represents something new – an audio-only platform for real-time conversations for groups of up to 500 people. But the real appeal was Clubhouse’s exclusivity. As the name implies, it launched as an invite-only social media app and was known as a hangout for venture capitalists, tech entrepreneurs and other Silicon Valley elite.
