A common fear when it comes to issue and crisis management is the uncertainty around virality. Which makes sense. Nobody wants the unwelcome surprise of having an otherwise seemingly insignificant issue go viral * against their organization. But what if I told you that it doesn’t have to catch you by surprise? That there is a Crisis Ready TM Formula that can help your team quickly detect the heightened probability of negative virality in real-time.

It’s well documented that men hold the vast majority of CEO positions in the top PR agencies, with some estimates topping nearly 80 percent. In an industry that is predominantly women, this makes the gap between men and women especially pronounced. Studies point to several factors impacting women’s rise to the C-suite, including work-life considerations […].

When I question PR practitioners about their pitching habits, they often respond in the same way. It goes like this: After I ask “Why do you introduce yourself in the first sentence?” or “Why are you including everyone’s job title?” in one of my workshops, they’ll pause and usually say, “That’s the way my first boss always did it.”. This reminds me of an old story I once heard about a newly-married couple.

It’s time to face the music: Winter is not coming, winter is here (we are based in Boston, after all!). However, spring – and with it the premiere of Game of Throne’s last season– is just around the corner. Based on the best-selling novels by George R. R. Martin, Game of Thrones tells the story of powerful families playing a deadly game in the hopes of taking control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.

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.

If your boss asks you to deliver spontaneous remarks at a work event, will you be ready? As The Wall Street Journal reported, impromptu pitches, toasts and talks far outnumber planned presentations in the workplace. Being asked to speak extemporaneously terrifies one in four Americans, according to Chapman University’s annual fear survey. But new research offers strategies for turning anxiety over unrehearsed public speaking to your advantage.

When it comes to influencer marketing, a lot of the content I’ve read over the last year or so has focused on one of two areas: How to SELECT influencers that are right for your brand; and how to MEASURE success once you’ve engaged these influencers. Very little has been written about the PROCESS of engaging the influencer. And, there’s a lot to talk about there.

Some time ago I pitched a reporter, who was looking for sources, on social media for a client. The pitch was about a study they had done. The reporter responded she hadn’t seen the study yet and would review it. She did review it and ended up writing about it too. The interesting thing is, I had pitched her on that study by email already. In fact, I sent several personal notes – spaced out so as to not be a nuisance – about the study over the course of six weeks and she never saw any of them.
