@ShopRiteStores I just sent you everything you need. Thank you social team for paying attention ♥️

It’s been 3 weeks since a @ShopRiteStores delivery truck hit my car parked on the street and RAN . No note, no attempt to reach me. And my attempts to reach @ShopRiteStores have gone IGNORED. There were witnesses. Do better.

A peer in a PR group I’m part of broke down in tears.

Honestly, I could relate.

Our industry is tough.

Not just because:
- It doesn’t matter who you “know”
- Getting top-tier placements is an art + science
- You have to be scrappy, adaptable, and tenacious to succeed

But also because of client expectations.

This colleague got their client multiple top-tier placements.

But they were still unhappy and demanded more.

The problem:

Even the best PR firm on the planet can’t control what happens *after* you get placed.

They can get you in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch —

But they can’t determine whether a client converts any of the interest from investors, business partners, and elite talent that follows.

If you’re working or plan to work with a PR firm…

Keep this in mind:

Behind every placement are human beings.

Who 👏 worked their butts off 👏 to get your company featured.

And the better you treat them—

The harder they’ll work for you next time.

In North Jersey it’s a Taylor Quake. In South Jersey, it’s an earth roll.

[Alex Aldrich @AlexAldrichPR]

Having to consistently perform when the odds are against you and rejection is almost certain.

That is PR.

A thread all my #Philly friends need in their life today. Thank you for your service @FarFarrAway may they fix them fast and the smell be minimal. 🫡

[Stephanie Farr @FarFarrAway]

Got word that Philly’s new public loo opened in Center City today, so I’ve armed myself with a 40 oz Wawa iced tea to give you a first person review. Dear lord this thing better be open I have to pee so bad. Follow along for some service journalism by yours truly. (A thread)

[Carly Martinetti @PRcarly]

The PR industry should focus more on quality over quantity.

It's not about how many pitches you send, but how relevant and well-crafted they are.

[Carly Martinetti @PRcarly]

Journalists: what’s your biggest pet peeve when a PR person pitches you??

@CherlynnLow There’s a lot of broken hearts and silent walks home

The psychedelic, used in medical settings as an anesthetic — and illegally as a party drug — is considered to be a promising but experimental mental health treatment.

No YOU live in a society. I live in timesheet jail.

@lcs_smythe @MaxMMarin really? because it's the heart shaped bed and random stripper pole that screams "last night on earth" for me.
