Is everyone a fractional #CMO now? 🤔
I've been to #WebSummit, #CES, Vancouver Startup Week and a bunch of other shindigs. lately. this year. Seems like 80% of the #marketing executives I met were fractional, working for 2 to 3 companies at a time.
They all want the same thing: help getting found in #AI search (or #GEO). As it happens, that's what #PR was made for 😉

@TristinHopper This being Canada🇨🇦, why doesn't Doug Ford/Waterloo's mayor simply ignore the court ruling & order the police to do it anyway?
Worst case scenario? The politician can just launch endless taxpayer-funded appeals & avoid any ethical or criminal consequences.
“Will Blake Lively ever work in Hollywood again after this?” asks Jonathon Narvey, Chief Executive Officer at @MindMeldPR (Hey wait! That's me! Thanks for including me, @ReputationIntel).
What do you think of my hot take on this celebrity #CrisisComms situation?

A podcast about AI PR and Buyer-Focused Growth for B2B Brands? Thanks to @JessieLizak from @Reveting and Rafe Gomez of @VCIncMarketing1 for a fun convo.
Do you run a business? Wondering why the leads aren't coming in the way they used to? Here's a thought: the problem and solution has something to do with AI.
Give it a listen!

@MindMeldPR is ranked one of the best #PR agencies on Clutch for helping #startups and scale-ups get into the news. To our PR clients who love working with us: thank you for your 5-star testimonials. We made it!
@MindMeldPR Bonus: From speaking to a lot of people going to Web Summit, it seems like lots of people understand that some of the best connections come from side events and after-parties. But where are they? @vantechjournal has this very handy list: https://t.co/S4Qd4WL22V
20K+ people are coming to #WebSummit#Vancouver over the next couple of days. Huge networking and brand-building opportunity! But what if you, um, totally suck at that kind of thing?
@MindMeldPR has some ideas.

A lot of the #ThoughtLeadership content I see reads like it was written by a committee.
The result? It’s boring and forgettable.
The #brands that are winning attention with #thought leadership are the ones with hard-hitting, data-driven opinions.
🔥 They’re not playing it safe. They have hot takes. Unique insights. Counter-intuitive angles.
That’s how you make sure your thought leadership cuts through the noise. No more corporate-speak, AI-generated 'hot takes', people 🚀

@GraemeBarlow@WebSummit 100 percent. I'd say 3 months ago, GEO was just bubbling up in my conversations with prospects, where I'd explain the concept. Now the prospects are the ones bringing up how PR helps with GEO and that's why they called us up.
I'll be at @WebSummit in #Vancouver next week, representing Mind Meld PR Inc. Like a lot of you, I'm looking to learn about new #marketing tactics and #tech solutions in a fast-changing #AI-powered world.
But I also want to find new partners for our #tech focused #PRagency.
And to be fully transparent, I'm there to discover any #startups and scale-ups interested in building their brand with news coverage in 2026!
❓ Are you a startup or scale-up Founder, CEO or in-house VP of Marketing coming to #WebSummit?
💡 Let's talk about building your #brand and getting discovered in #GEO by getting featured in outlets like @Forbes, @FastCompany, @globeandmail, etc.
❓ Are you a fractional CMO? Or do you run your own marketing or branding agency?
💡 For many marketing agencies, we're the trusted PR partner. Let's talk about our agency referral program!
Looking forward to reconnecting with many of you at Web Summit and making new friends - and drinking lots of coffee☕!

Before we take on a new #PR client at @MindMeldPR , we take a look at their past press releases, pitches, etc.
This is not to criticize them. They hired us, so clearly they see the problem and want to fix it.
But I swear we've seen all 50 of these.

Journalists do not want:
❌ 3-page pitches
❌ fake exclusives
❌ 6 exclamation marks
❌ your “urgent” non-urgent email
❌ a cold pitch with a calendar invite attached
They want actual stories (and lucky for us, that's what we LOVE to do for our #PR clients. Just sayin').
We put together a list of 50 PR mistakes to avoid.
PR pro's (and marketers who are doing PR off the side of their desk): which mistakes did we miss? Leave yours in a comment below!

"You will own nothing and be happy."
Okay, but for the elites, it's different: "You will know nothing and be so richly rewarded that it won't matter."

@BasedMikeLee I'm actually starting to believe Ilhan Omar doesn't know the difference between $30 million and $6 million or $18,000 for that matter.
https://t.co/Fk3bO716vl
Rep. Ilhan Omar filed documents with Congress saying her wealth was between $6 million and $30 million. Now she says that was a mistake, and her wealth is actually between $18,000 and $95,000. That's quite a difference. From @WSJ: https://t.co/nSSy3WUrNW
