Here's a corporate communications opportunity.

In high-stakes world of public relations (PR), Imagine this: You're working your tail off to land that big client or score that major media placement, but instead of high-fives and kudos, you're met with passive-aggressive comments and side-eye from your colleagues. It's like everyone's out for themselves, and teamwork is just a foreign concept.And let's not forget about the pressure. In an industry where success is measured in column inches, the stakes are sky-high. Deadlines loom large, clients demand perfection, and burnout is just a fact of life. It's enough to make even the most seasoned PR pro question their career choices.But perhaps the most insidious aspect of work culture in PR is the lack of trust. When your colleagues are more concerned with covering their own backsides than supporting each other, it creates an environment of paranoia and suspicion. Who can you really trust when everyone's playing their own game?It's like a poison that seeps into every aspect of your life, sapping your energy, and making you dread every day.But here's the thing: it doesn't have to be this way. We can – and should – demand better. By calling out toxic behavior, fostering open communication, and supporting each other as colleagues and human beings, we can create a healthier, happier work environment for everyone.

Public Relations Stats - The More You Know Edelman found that 80 percent of communication leaders believe their role is harder today than ever, with the report stating that "their role is more demanding than it was 12 months ago. Given these changes, and changes with gen Z employee attitudes, Edelman predicts that more communications leaders will continue to work more closely with HR and talent departments. Effective corporate communications teams must maintain multiple lines of communication while balancing transparency with brand security. As PR continues to evolve far beyond the press release, new structures, skill sets, and perspectives will be needed to effectively communicate with stakeholders ranging from customers to employees. As of now, PR agencies go far beyond writing press releases, including social media, speaking opportunities, content creation, speech writing, brand partnerships, and event planning. #pr #publicrelations

Hiring Managers What distinguishes a public relations officer from a communications officer? The majority of positions for communications officers don't appear to make it obvious what the differences are between the two. (my opinion) While there can be overlap, a Public Relations (PR) officer typically focuses on managing an organisation's reputation, building relationships with the public, and handling crisis communication. On the other hand, a Communications Officer may have a broader role, encompassing internal and external communication strategies, including messaging, media relations, and content creation. PR often emphasizes external perception, whereas communications may involve a wider range of information dissemination within and outside the organization.

I was talking to a journalist this week. She said, “I don’t know if I know how to do PR.” My response - (sure you do) and there’s also so much more to communications than Public Relations. Media is our comfort zone, but there is Executive Comms: My goal is to make my company leader feel as good and prepared as I once felt before a live shot with a solid producer in the booth. (You know who you are - thank you!) And Employee Communications: You can be super creative and tell company stories through writing or video that motivates and engages employees. Sneak peek: we have an exciting new project coming up - Alexis Silva, Michael Howard, Max Reiss, Scott Michel, Mary-Jo Boisvert, Meaghan Shaw. So if you’re feeling stuck, expand your search. Internal comms may not be your first thought, but these teams could use your skills! #internalcommunications
