Just learned the best @SlackHQ tip! If you have a pesky notification that won't go away, press Shift and Esc. It will give you the option to mark everything as read, and gloriously stop pretending there are unread messages.

@CloeyCallahan Congrats Cloey! Excited to see where you land next and wishing you all the best on a new chapter!

@apbenven oooh yay Alexis!!! Excited to read this one!

@bethanybiron The local Jersey City liquor store has a cat named Hennessy if willing to make a PATH trip 🐈‍⬛

@noahkagan I saw this tweet once that resonated -- close all tabs and if it's meant to be, your tabs will find a way back to you

[Mandy Menaker @mandymenaker]

@CloeyCallahan This is so cute! Happy birthday!

[Mandy Menaker @mandymenaker]

@noahkagan Depends on your product/service, the expected LTV of each customer, and your CAC. There is no right answer, since so many factors influence the biz model.

[Mandy Menaker @mandymenaker]

@eagerber Agree. Especially since many journalists don't get say in the final headline. It takes complex pieces and turns it into clickbait.

[Mandy Menaker @mandymenaker]

@thedigitalyenta Yes -- constructive feedback is one of my favorite love languages.

[Mandy Menaker @mandymenaker]

Writes @CloeyCallahan "ADUs blend the convenience of remote-friendly spaces with the ability to physically “leave the office” at the end of the workday – except now the commute is only a few steps across your backyard." Fun article on a growing trend. https://t.co/0CpFQdimZQ

@martyswant Big fan of working dog winery in NJ! It's about an hours drive, dog friendly (outside), and they have live music on weekends.

@BeckyLucasConde Loved Ladera Hotel in St. Lucia! Went for a Babymoon last December. Beautiful rooms, welcoming team, and the coolest gym view ever.

[Mandy Menaker @mandymenaker]

This is an excellent piece from @CloeyCallahan. Years ago I was guilty of being a micromanager, and thankfully have learned better ways to guide others and manage my own anxiety. If you have a manager who hasn't gotten there yet, give this a read for actionable tips.

[Cloey Callahan @CloeyCallahan]

I wrote an in-depth guide with realistic tips on how to approach 10 different kinds of managers in the workplace. In a perfect world, these folks would have solid training, but that doesn't always happen, so here's our advice on working with them.

@dianakelly Hi Diana! What sources are you hunting for right now? Happy to help share with my network of PR folks.

[Mandy Menaker @mandymenaker]

Love this question - @PRisUs is a great resource for #pr folks out there to follow.

My 2 cents? Always link (not attach) assets and keep those assets super organized and well labeled with company name and context. If pitching a TV station, also link b-roll if available.

[Michelle Garrett | B2B PR Consultant/Writer @PRisUs]

Journalist friends: Would you prefer it if a PR pro sent you a pitch with a few relevant visual asset files attached - OR - a link to a Dropbox or Google Drive with the assets so you could pick & choose?

[Mandy Menaker @mandymenaker]

It’s obviously awesome when a journalist says yes to a story or source. But it’s also awesome when they take the time to say no thank you - it means they value the thought you put into the pitch, even if not right for them. Take time to celebrate the no, not just the yes #pr

[Mandy Menaker @mandymenaker]

Sharing my latest article for @PRDaily. In this article, I share insights on how to define your career values and why it's crucial to revisit them regularly. Thanks @AllisonLCarter for the opportunity to contribute!

@Katie_Roof But also can we talk about how supportive her sorority was when she needed to get her score up? Legally Blonde is such a wonderful example of women rallying around each other and celebrating non romantic wins

[Mandy Menaker @mandymenaker]

@AmandaMGoetz My daughter is currently in daycare 4 days a week and it is the right balance for me -- my brain enjoys variety, and I am a more present mom during family hours when I also work. That being said, I switched from in-house to running my own biz, which allows for more flexibility.

[Mandy Menaker @mandymenaker]

@KaeLaniSays @phillymag oooh that sushi plate is pretty

[Mandy Menaker @mandymenaker]

@ThinkDesign_Ed The cost of acquiring and onboarding a new customer is much higher than finding ways to drum up more business from your existing customers. Almost always better to extend LTV and create long-term business!
