Notably

Myth: PR is all parties and press releases. Reality: It's sleepless nights ensuring client announcements hit at dawn. Myth: Anyone can write an email pitch. Reality: Pros spend hours crafting subject lines that make or break campaigns. Myth: PR is for "people persons" who can't do "real work." Reality: We're rewriting entire websites, running intensive pitch clinics, and navigating complex media landscapes. Myth: PR is cushy work for privileged youth. Reality: It's a relentless grind, competing for attention in a world of shrinking newsrooms. Hollywood gets PR wrong. We're not ditzy socialites. We're strategic, resilient professionals who turn chaos into opportunity. PR isn't glamorous. It's hard AF. But for those who LIKE doing hard things: It’s a series of peak experiences.

In just two years, our startup law firm has been featured in top publications like Business Insider, Forbes, Bloomberg, Inc. Magazine, Yahoo Finance, American Express and many more. None of this publicity was paid. How did we make that happen? A huge part of our success is thanks to our partnership with Notably, an outstanding PR firm led by the dynamic duo of Carly Martinetti and her business partner (and mother), Carin Warner. If you're a business owner looking to boost your firm's visibility, I highly recommend partnering with them!

For all you marketers out there looking for a new way to think about your "target" customers, take a quick read of this perspective by John Andreliunas...It speaks to the opportunity to find greatness in the overlooked and just maybe 3x sales!

What the friggin’ heck is up with managers who frown at employees for saying “TGIF”?!!? Like, really?! You’re telling me you’re not excited about getting: - A break from work - To hang out with loved ones - To do the things you truly *enjoy*...? One of the things broken in America is that we have this toxic culture of “living to work” instead of “working to live.” Why?! And the worst part of it: When you honor the fact that folks would rather be doing things for the sheer pleasure of it, *especially* when it’s already Friday… You get: - Better results - Better retention - Less workplace toxicity Now, I want to clarify that we work *hard* and that PR is *not* easy. But we also give the team two extra weeks of PTO and know when to chill and decompress. So if you’re a manager whose ego crumbles when you learn (*GASPS IN UTTER SHOCK*) that team members would rather chill and have fun than work, I recommend: - Walking barefoot on grass - Watching your favorite show on Netflix - Enjoying a cold one (can be non-alcoholic) with friends Or anything else that will restore your humanity… As well as the faith in humanity of the rest of us. Yours Truly, A founder who *loves* it when team members say “TGIF” on a Friday. P.S. Notably is looking for a Senior Public Relations Account Executive! Apply here: https://bit.ly/3yIdtXr

PR is at the precipice of some truly exciting things, but I think they have been tainted with the notion that artificial intelligence can easily take away our jobs. I strongly disagree, and here’s why: AI can lead to defamation. AI can't build relationships. AI can't replace higher human tasks. AI can't handle the unexpected. Don't get me wrong, AI is awesome. But many don’t realize that PR is more than just writing a press release or “spinning a story,” which, sure, AI can help with. The core of what we do includes creativity, the ability to quickly and efficiently synthesize complicated jargon for the average person, emotional intelligence, collaboration, rapport, trust, crisis management, and interview prep. This is a sampling of what PR pros do daily & today’s AI is nowhere near this. ❤️ WHO SHOULD I INTERVIEW NEXT? Mohamed Lazzouni, CTO at Aware, is launching a biometric authentication plug-in for WordPress/Woo. Cathy Tie, CEO of Locke Bio, the “Shopify for the health industry.” ⭐ DO YOU WORK IN E-COMMERCE?
