I love this job posting so much because so many companies have marketing/comms roles where they describe wanting to hire “storytellers” and they almost never consider hiring journalists. Pro-tip: if you want someone to tell your company’s story, then hire a journalist. Better yet, put it in the job description.

The best… go go go

Sometimes very little. The difference is really in the talent. You're hiring individuals, when the deliverable is comparable to that provided by consultants. I've met and worked with plenty of PR and advertising agency execs who are as proficient at approaching and considering client challenges as business strategists as they are in their role as marketers and communicators. These individuals should be on any agency team you hire. #pr #publicrelations #communication

Thinking of diving into the dynamic realm of Public Relations? 🚀 Understanding the difference between agency and in-house roles as a PR & Communications Professional is essential for those embarking on their PR career journey. In an agency setting, you'll thrive on variety, managing multiple clients across industries, honing your adaptability and strategic agility. Expect … ✨ Variety: Work with multiple clients across diverse industries, gaining exposure to different sectors, challenges, and audiences. ✨ Fast-paced Environment: Navigate tight deadlines and adapt to rapidly changing client needs, fostering agility and quick thinking. ✨ Team Collaboration: Collaborate with multifaceted teams within the agency, leveraging collective expertise and creativity. ✨ Client Management: Build and maintain relationships with clients, delivering strategic counsel and campaign execution tailored to their objectives. ✨ Creative Freedom: Often have more creative freedom between your day to day, due to the range of clients and projects.

Want to make your marketing team A LOT more efficient? ✨ Here are some examples of tasks you could be delegating to overseas employees, based on what we do at BRISC: 👉 Graphic design and video editing 👉 Scheduling posts or manually publishing content 👉 Preparing weekly and monthly reports 👉 Populating spreadsheets with data from influencers, leads, and more 👉 Influencer outreach, tracking influencer posts and organising deliveries 👉 Customer service management 👉 Admin tasks such as duplicating content calendars 👉 Much more There are many other things you CAN’T delegate such as in-person activations and events, visiting clients, some parts of content creation and more. I personally wouldn’t delegate overseas creative work that requires general knowledge of popular culture of the country I’m in. Our team in the UK takes care of that. You can’t delegate EVERYTHING but there are certainly many tasks you can. What else would you add? 🤔 ⚡️ If you want to make your marketing team more efficient with overseas talent, drop me a message, we have some INCREDIBLE people in our talent pool at Proppel. #hiring #recruitment #marketing #agency #digitalmarketing

Growing B2B companies often struggle to determine if they should hire a corporate communications professional in-house or choose an agency when it’s time to scale the business.  Ideally it’s a combination of both because an experienced in-house communications leader will know how to work with the agency to optimize the return on investment with them, especially if they have experience on both sides of the fence. But as a start-up, how do you afford to have both an experienced in-house communications leader and an agency? Hire a fractional chief communications officer, or fCCO. Fractional CCOs can move as quickly as anyone else on your internal leadership team to respond to the fast-changing circumstances of a startup. They can use EOS if that’s how you run your business. They are truly accountable for setting and achieving communications objectives. They know how to advise CEOs, strategize and synchronize with CMOs and CROs to support growth goals, and work with HR leaders to build employer brands that attract and keep the right people in the right seats. And you only pay for the fraction that you need. The fCCO is well-positioned to hire agency support as needed to help execute the program they define with you. Agencies are particularly great at bring creativity and executing thought leadership campaigns, knowing how to work with journalists outside of your core 3-4 editors/reporters, scaling to support important shows or launches, entering new international markets, and staying on top of the topics and issues most likely to drive interest and engagement across earned and social media. Good agency teams should also have great content writers (though that’s not a given).  #PR #marketing #startups

👀 Looks like somebody finally updated their LinkedIn profile after almost a year in their new role (mostly because it’s taken me that long to fully understand the scope of the job). What is Communications Planning? I’m glad you asked! (Because I didn’t exactly know either.) Think of Comms planners as the general contractors of a marketing campaign. We shepherd an entire campaign from start to finish. Our destination brand strategists tell us what kind of house they want built--maybe a campaign to support three new entertainment offerings. Comms planners take the business inputs and bring them to the architects—the creatives who will design the look and feel of the campaign. We ensure the house accurately reflects the needs of the business and we deliver exactly what was asked for. Once the house is ready, we call in the specialists—our channel partners to start building. It is our responsibility to make sure we know about every leaky faucet (has legal approved the consumer and trade emails?) or potentially delayed permit (was that contract signed?). We provide business strategic oversight, create messaging strategy, are CONSTANTLY contingency planning, and finally lead the launch of the campaign when it’s time to put the house on the market. This role is great for anyone who loves working with absolutely ev.’ry.body. that touches a marketing campaign. It requires communication skills and problem solving skills—and the ability to adapt ALL THE TIME to changes that will happen at every part of the process (whether that’s new business targets, revamped creative, or the need to rush through new tactics to market). It will also require every tool in your toolbox—business acumen, creative strategy, and tactical execution. It’s been an amazing learning opportunity (and even fully understanding the role itself has been a journey) and I’m ready to keep learning more! #marketingjobs #communications #caitcomms #themeparkjobs

In looking for a #communications or #marketing director, smaller companies sometimes try to hire a comms "superstar" who can do it all: digital marketing, content, writing, editing, social media, graphic design—you name it. ✨ Not to mention budgeting and management. I think this approach is wrongheaded for a number of reasons. 1. Eventually, a comms director who has to do all of those things (and more) will burn out. 💥 No one person can realistically produce every deliverable or meet every single deadline, especially if the organization wants to grow, which brings us to... 2. It's not scalable. 📉 Constantly pinch-hitting for every potential member of a functional comms team will keep the director from being able to do their biggest job: assessing, reevaluating, and charting the best path forward. 3. It limits the amount of talent you can bring in. ♻ If the comms director ever leaves, then the organization has to spend time and resources looking for another unicorn to take their place, rather than promoting internally from talent that the director has been able to identify and develop. Are comms and marketing chops important? Unequivocally, yes. But they shouldn't come at the expense of #leadership ability.
