Some people don’t think of PR professionals as particularly creative – except when it comes to hatching wild PR stunts or gimmicks, like KFC’s fried-chicken-flavored nail polish in 2016. Yet creativity plays a part in much of a PR person’s daily work. They must constantly generate fresh concepts for bylines and story angles for pitching, as well as dreaming up campaign ideas for clients.

Smaller companies that don’t have access to large followings or celebrity endorsements can still make the most out of influencer marketing and PR campaigns. For instance, let’s take a look at a company called Little Sapling Toys. This company began life about ten years ago, selling products on Etsy.com.

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.

Every B2B tech PR person dreams of the splashy feature that will help make their company brand instantly recognizable. Maybe it’s a Fast Company article detailing a compelling success or a groundbreaking startup story.

The game used to be relatively simple: You find something newsworthy, suggest it to the right journalists, and then they cover it. Now it’s a lot more complicated. For instance — being newsworthy is often no enough. Journalists (and especially bloggers) want you to bring something else to the table: an audience. For now, this isn’t something most of them talk about openly.
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.

When considering this, I had a bit of a light bulb moment – quite literally.

To maintain power, the Party invents Newspeak, a reductionist language that eliminates the ability to express complex thought.

Both PR and marketing are essential components in amplifying and relaying critical business messages.

As all PR pros know, monitoring media coverage is important. When we think of traditional media monitoring, we often think of tracking metrics like the number of media hits your mentioned in, the estimated audience for the publication in which you were featured, or even the number of times an article was shared across social media. Tracking this coverage helps reveal how your brand is perceived by the media and the public.
