Quite the week for the golden arches comms team. McDonald’s is offering a real-time case study in effective crisis communications, managing two high-profile challenges: a visit from Donald Trump and an E. coli outbreak. In response to the outbreak, McDonald's quickly enacted transparent, proactive communication, reassuring the public with timely updates and a clear focus on safety. Simultaneously, they navigated the Trump visit by staying neutral and brand-focused, avoiding political controversy while keeping the spotlight on their core business. This underscores the importance of a robust, well-prepared communications strategy that can protect brand integrity, swiftly address public concerns, and steer the narrative in critical moments. Reputation is everything and McDonald’s is showing exactly how to safeguard it. https://lnkd.in/gTwKVNKb

☕ PR pitching and coffee ... what's the link? Ok, bear with me on this: Today is International Coffee Day and it got me thinking. We all love coffee, but everyone takes theirs differently. Just like media content. So I think being a PR pro is a bit like being a barista, crafting the perfect blend (angle) depending on who you're serving. 🗞 Mail Online? A no-nonsense Double Espresso, and ready to give you a jolt of information (or drama). 🗞 Buzzfeed? Think Frappuccino with extra whipped cream and sprinkles—playful, OTT colourful, and capturing the zeitgeist. Both brews are coffee, but each tailored to suit different tastes. And in PR, we know that one size doesn’t fit all, as every outlet craves its own unique ‘blend’ of content. So on this special day, here's to all the PR "baristas" out there, grinding away and crafting the perfect media mix every single day ☕ 🗞 (That was hard work but I got there 🙌 ) #InternationalCoffeeDay #PrTips #MediaRelations #PR And thanks to Jon Tyson via Upsplash for the image

Why Invest in Reputation Building? The Bud Light Lesson: In a world obsessed with quick ROI, it's tempting to focus solely on short-term marketing tactics. But the recent Bud Light saga reminds us why long-term reputation building is crucial. The Power of Reputation: Bud Light's Cautionary Tale Once America's top-selling beer, Bud Light's controversial marketing decision in April 2023 led to a dramatic fall. Recent data shows the brand slipping to third place in retail sales, behind Modelo Especial and sister brand Michelob Ultra. 👉Key Lessons: ✅Reputation is fragile: Years of brand building can unravel quickly. 💰Recovery is costly: Rebuilding trust and market share requires significant time and resources. 🙌Competitors benefit: Reputation loss often translates to market share gains for rivals. 🤝Alignment is critical: Brand actions must resonate with core values and audience expectations. ⚠️Crisis preparedness pays: Robust reputation management can mitigate potential damages. The Bud Light situation underscores that while tactical marketing drives short-term results, a strong reputation is the foundation of sustained business success. Investing in reputation isn't just about crisis management—it's about building resilience, fostering loyalty, and creating a buffer against potential missteps.

Press releases are a hot topic among producers. I get about 200 emails from PR people daily. Today, I got a really good one that I won't share, but it reminded me of some basic things I look for in a press release. 1. Date: If your event is today, it is too late to send it. I sometimes schedule guests a month or so out for events the week or day of. 2. Why should my viewers care? You have to give me something that will benefit my viewers. A store opening or restaurant opening doesn't do it. Give me something useful and beneficial. 3. Relationships: The most important thing is to develop a relationship with me. I work with several PR people; they are my go-to people when I want to do a segment.
