Guest post by Crenshaw Communications intern, Murphy Pressley. College is a transformation for students. We’re encouraged to evolve, both personally and professionally. This transformation does not come easily and is not solely due to the courses we’re offered. As we’re beginning our adult lives and preparing to be more independent, less impulsive, and more in control, a vital tool in any student’s growth is an internship —in my case, at a top PR agency.

Like it or not, TikTok is here to stay. They have over 1 billion users and most are between the ages of 13 and 60. It’s a huge demographic so it’s important to pay attention to what is trending on TikTok. Whether you are on it or not, it’s a great place to see what people are talking about. If it’s trending on TikTok, it’s probably trending everywhere else – or it will be soon.

Have you ever sent out 100 pitches, waited eagerly for responses to pour in, but instead… crickets? You're not alone - journalists respond to just 3.43% of pitches, and a staggering 73% say less than a quarter of the pitches they receive are even relevant. But here's the good news: these numbers don't have to define your results. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to break through the noise, craft personalized, thoughtful pitches, and build genuine, lasting media relationships.

In B2B public relations , there’s a lot of talk about thought leadership. Agency teams promise client executives that they’ll be positioned as thought leaders, we throw the term into proposals, and we call our content “thought capital.” Now, good executive content is a very useful component of a B2B PR program, but that doesn’t necessarily make the author a thought leader.

I am asked all the time about whether or not to pay for influencers to promote your product, service, and brand. It’s s dicey question. They can be valuable IF you find the right one. It’s important to really do your research and find the person whose audience will benefit from what you have to share and will listen to them talking about you.

Leaked internal communications can be strategically valuable assets rather than just risks to manage. When used proactively, these leaks can highlight leadership and innovation—qualities that resonate in today’s media. By approaching internal comms with a dual-purpose approach, companies shift from mere risk avoidance to leveraging these moments as credible public messages around strategy.

An important article by Bloomberg, “ Investors Are Ignoring a Dangerous Crackdown on Press Freedom ,” recently caught my eye. I’d recommend reading the whole story, but a few things stood out to me: “More journalists than ever were in jail last year and the number of media workers killed rose by a third compared to 2019”. “When a newspaper closes, the local government’s borrowing costs rise because diminished scrutiny makes investors less comfortable,” according to a 2019 Journal of Financial Ec

For PR teams, earned media placements are a key deliverable of a strategic public relations campaign. Typically they’re articles or broadcast segments that feature a given company or brand in a positive way. Earned media offers credibility even though we give up perfect control over the message. But earned media doesn’t always achieve the frequency we need to promote client brands, and some stories have a lengthy gestation period.
Journalists receive an overwhelming number of press releases daily, making it hard for your news to stand out. While some news is valuable, most is not.

In the PR strategies toolbox, the practice of media relations gives PR practitioners an opportunity to distinguish themselves while also giving their organizations an edge over the competition. As earned media, stories placed through media relations efforts are cost-effective. These media placements also provide a third-party endorsement for an organization’s message — something that owned media does not achieve.

Most PR teams work hard to make sure our client media interviews go off without a hitch. Yet there are the occasional briefings that for one reason or another may require extra preparation. Maybe they revolve around a sensitive subject, or possibly the company spokesperson is inexperienced. For example, a client executive could be speaking as an external expert on a topic related to government regulation while avoiding naming their own clients or specific work experience.
