The average age of someone working in PR is just 28 years old. 🤯 This means that many of us PRs are likely to have been thrust into their first management role well before the 36-year-old average age. It also means that the large majority of us in senior positions will, as a result, feel imposter syndrome - feeling like we have something to prove due to our age. We're more likely to succumb to the dangerous ‘always on’ culture that is prevalent within an industry that revolves around a 24-hour news cycle. We're more likely to feel inadequate when things are anything but positive, not having the lengthy career of learning to look back on for reflection. But our youthful industry is also full of fresh perspectives, challenges the status quo and is energised, as a result. ⭐ So, just a reminder to anyone else who sometimes feels like an imposter, success does not require perfection, so failing to achieve it does not make you a fraud. Thanks to PRWeek for asking my thoughts - article in the comments. P.S. What an absolute ICK that my face fills the whole screen, so apologies in advance 😂 #prindustry #impostersyndrome #digitalpr #managerialskills

The simple exercise wasn't about testing knowledge but sparking some critical thinking amongst our interns. We're committed to nurturing the next generation of PR professionals and keeping our own skills sharp in this everchanging field. How are you investing in your team's growth? We challenge you to try this definition exercise across relevant disciplines and see what insights emerge! #PublicRelations #ContinuousLearning

A personal note: Seven years ago, after rewarding gigs at Brookings and EPI, I became Child Trends' VP for Strategic Communications. Leaving think tank economic research for a professional-services org conducting research aimed at improving child- and youth-serving systems felt strange, but I grew to love my job. Not by choice, last week was my last at Child Trends. The org’s new president terminated my employment shortly after she came on board. (Not many on LinkedIn seem to share when they’ve been fired. So, here’s my contribution to crushing the shame. Feel free to share your own stories!) Since I don't know what’s next for me -- more research communications? back to politics? advocacy? writing? -- I’ll share a few guiding principles based on 15+ years leading comms shops for research institutions. These are simple yet, by not following them, folks too often get tripped up. 1. The space-time continuum must be obeyed. Battles with physics are battles lost. 2. Razzle-dazzle (the new shiny object) is almost always a distraction. Default to simple and straightforward if the option exists. 2. Precision in language matters. What you say and how you say it matters enormously. (Sloppy communications often means sloppy thinking.) 4. Getting it right takes time. In the research biz, speed rarely matters but getting it wrong can be disastrous. Sacrificing accuracy and clarity for urgency is not worth it; damaged reputations can be hard to repair. 5. There's a through-line from your goal, target audience, & the action you want your audience to take to your strategy. Just follow along logically, step by step, and you'll figure it out. I want to acknowledge a handful of the smart researchers I've worked with over the years (too many to name here) and thank them for their patience explaining their work to me when I didn't understand it. Their passion is contagious. Heidi Shierholz, Josh Bivens, Elise Gould, John Irons, Martha Ross, Alan Berube, Rob Puentes, Adie Tomer, Joe Parilla, Jess Bartlett, Dana Thomson, Renee Ryberg, Mavis Sanders, Mindy Scott, Lizzie Wildsmith, and Deana Around Him. Special thanks to Larry Mishel, Bruce Katz, Amy Liu, Martin Indyk, and Carol Emig; in different ways, you all took a chance on me, and I'm grateful. And the communications colleagues who have made me look good: Eric Shansby, Dan Essrow, Lora Engdahl, Donte Donald, Phoebe Silag, Rachel Katz, Grace Palmer, Allison Courtin, David Jackson, Alec Friedhoff, David Nassar, Stephen Russ, Olga Morales, Brent Franklin, Catherine Nichols, Emily Baqir, Lee Woods, Kelly Bennett, Krystal Figueroa. Thank you. To all my Child Trends colleagues: Keep up the excellent work! I wish you the best. While I don't know what's next for me, I do know the next ~15 novels I'm going to read. (Think Anthony Trollope, George Elliot, and Elizabeth Gaskell.) Excited for 2024!!

As the summer holidays approach, PR professionals face unique challenges, especially those who are new to the field or fresh out of college. Newsrooms often operate with reduced staff and journalists may be less responsive. But with a little foresight and strategy, you can turn these challenges into opportunities. Here are some beginner-friendly tips to help you manage your media relations effectively when journalists are on holiday: ✅ Get ahead of the game: Develop a summer events calendar and prepare your ideas and press materials well in advance. This ensures you're ready to go even if journalists are out of office ✅ Be the early bird: Take the initiative to reach out to journalists before the summer season. Offer exclusive stories or content to secure coverage ahead of time. ✅ Tech is Your BFF: Schedule your emails and press releases to go out to journalists before they go on a break. ✅ Maintain Relationships: Nurture your relationships with journalists year-round, not just during peak times. Building trust and rapport ensures that journalists will turn to you for stories, regardless of the season. Lastly, stay chill and flexible. Remember, it's summer – deadlines might shift, and emails might take longer to get answered. By implementing these strategies, you can keep your media relations strong and ensure your PR efforts remain effective throughout the summer months. #MediaRelations #SummerBreak #PublicRelations #PRTips
