Diversity. Inclusion. Equality. Wellness. All of the words above have one thing in common: they are current issues that are now at the core of marketing and advertising. Why is this? As with any time period, social movements often take precedent when it comes to creating strong messaging. And this approach makes a lot of sense. After all, aligning a brand’s mission and messaging with social themes can often pay off in the form of loyalty from customers.

This is the time of year when I get questions from new graduates about which path makes the most sense for an aspiring PR professional. But the question isn’t just for PR beginners.

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.

For a couple reasons, I don’t think I will; but more importantly, I question whether the 737 Max will ever fly again. For those who don’t know the backstory, the 737 Max is the latest iteration of Boeing’s 737 aircraft which first started flying in the late 1960s.

There it was on my Netflix page, reinforcing a PR lesson too many of us ignore: “Taken.”. It wasn’t the original “Taken” movie, starring Liam Neeson. Nor was it either of the two movies that followed. Notice how I didn’t call them “sequels?” They aren’t sequels — they are more like reboots. Basically the same exact movie made three times. The only variable is which city Liam Neeson half destroys while he stops at nothing to rescue his family.
