PR bloke, Brit in San Francisco. Views are my own. Off Twitter for a while.

[Nicole Moreo @KikiMoreo]

So happy to gather a few of our North America @AmecOrg Chapter members who are attending the #amecsummit !!! Excited to connect with even more over the next 2 days!

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

I'll take "mighty". Thanks @richardbagnall #amecsummit

[Richard Bagnall, FCIPR, FPRCA, FAMEC @richardbagnall]

Great to have the mighty @JonMeakinPR bringing even more energy to the @amecorg summit with tips for improving #PR agencies’ measurement and analysis announcing the launch of a new @amecorg initiative at #amecsummit

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

It was a pleasure to share a stage with you, @PaulStollery! #amecsummit

[Paul Stollery @PaulStollery]

Had a blast talking about @HardNumbers' approach to guaranteeing earned media coverage at the @AmecOrg Global Summit.

Expertly chaired afternoon of sessions by @JonMeakinPR.

Thanks for having me @gojohnab.
#amecsummit

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

Thank you, @stellabayles!

[Stella Bayles @stellabayles]

Brilliant! @JonMeakinPR has just announced the new data-culture guide for PR agencies from @AmecOrg 🙌🏼 As soon as it’s released I will share… brilliant resource all agencies should jump on 📈👊🏼

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

With Twitter's apparent disregard for ethics and laissez-faire attitude to hate speech, I am taking a break from the platform for a while.

There is a place for Twitter, or a platform like it, and I hope to be back someday.

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

I never fail to be astonished by the Musk fanboys.

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

Very sad to hear about the demise of @protocol. The intersection of tech and journalism is a tough place to be right now and my heart goes out to the talented team

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

It’s a while since I attended a big conference, and I’ve never been to Dallas before, so I am excited to check off both at #SC22 with @HPE

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

Love this.

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

@SuzanneStrug What an amazing article! Thank you @dankois. It would have been easy just to ridicule the “spray n pray” merchants, but this is affectionate, empathetic and highly entertaining.

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

There are so many “what not to do” lessons coming out of Twitter now, I’m struggling to keep up

[Zoë Schiffer @ZoeSchiffer]

Elon Musk is doing an all hands with Twitter employees. They got a one hour notice and he showed up 15 minutes late.

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

My adopted country is far from perfect, but a little bit of my faith in democracy and decency has been restored #Midterms

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

I don’t know a lot about #cryptocurrecy. And right now, I’m quite glad

[boaz weinstein @boazweinstein]

Every day I read about crypto, I understand it less and less. FTX was in talks two months ago to raise 1bn equity at a 32bn valuation. Binance threatens to dump 500mm FTX tokens and the whole thing just collapses? Explain it to me like I’m a 65 year old.

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

Reputations are valuable assets. And like any asset, they need expert protection

[Stephen Canning @stephencanning]

Hell of a stat at #CIPRConf22 - in 1975 intangible asset value of reputation, press, etc for a company floating on NYSE was 17%, in 2020 research shows that it is 90% of their value.

@gregsanne @DarrylSparey @gojohnab @stellabayles

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

It’s astounding how many #PR agencies still rely on these meaningless metrics. There are so many better metrics - thank you Stella for championing this

[Stella Bayles @stellabayles]

Are you using total monthly publisher traffic numbers as 'reach' or 'OTS' in PR reports? It could be damaging your reputation! Join me & @andismit tomorrow at 4pm UK to find out why & how to fix for 2023. This is a special @AmecOrg #amecMM event. Sign up: https://t.co/H6kuOxUKit

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

I’m no fan of the monarchy, but cometh the hour… as the Head of State, shouldn’t Charles put the good of the country first and dissolve Parliament? #GeneralElectionNow

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

UK politics: We were always told that the big advantage of First Past the Post is that it produces stable governments. How’s that working out? #GeneralElectioNow

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

Agree. Neither metric is a “result”. Even coverage achieved is only part of the story: Did you sway opinion or stimulate an action? That’s the real measure of #PR success, which requires a holistic, cumulative approach

[Suzanne Struglinski @SuzanneStrug]

PR tip of the day - Just took the @muckrack PR survey and it asked if I measure results in # of pitches sent or journalists reached - nope. It doesn't work that way. This is how reporter inboxes get filled with junk.

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

@MattHaneySF Bring it on!

[Jon Meakin @JonMeakinPR]

In office for 12 years, but the lack of growth is everybody else’s fault. Got it.

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

Truss lists her political enemies (the “anti-growth coalition”)

Labour
Lib Dems
SNP
Unions
“Vested interests dressed up as think tanks”
Talking heads
Brexit deniers
Extinction rebellion
