For a PR professional, sometimes the best mentor is one who’s closest to home. Karlie Lahm, APR, current PRSA Georgia President, has built a career that in many ways parallels that of her mother, Judy Stanton, APR, who served as PRSA Miami President in 1985. Karlie is senior director of public relations for FOCUS Brands. Judy is mostly retired from a career in health-care communications, but still freelances for clients.

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.

When two black men were arrested and forcibly removed from a Philadelphia Starbucks coffee shop for the offense of not ordering coffee, a single decision by a single manager thrust the entire brand into a national PR crisis. Social media outrage turned into protests, planned boycotts and a blazing wildfire of negative media coverage for the brand, which is already under siege by growing competition and shifting cultural trends.

This reputation goes back to the band’s first foray into the major spotlight, back in 1985 at the Live Aid show. At the time, U2 had released a few albums and had a decent fan following, but they were overshadowed by the major star power at the concert, including pop royalty like Paul McCartney, David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, among others.

Outreach is at the heart of any strategy geared towards getting links, building buzz, or increasing brand awareness. Still, despite the fact that almost every company that cares about promoting their site or content sends outreach, there are tons of questions.

When I was in my early 20s I heard the question for the first time: “Do you have any agency experience?” At the time, I didn’t. But, I quickly realized I had better get some because it was all anyone on the agency OR corporate side was talking about. At least, that’s what it seemed like. And, in the past 20-plus years, not much has changed.
