In the words of one desperate Jerry Maguire, “help me help you.”
Office hours work best when they are used to address the questions that are stressing you in the moment. So rather than cover a new topic in today’s issue, I want to use this space to ask you what’s on your mind right now.
And if you think this is an excuse of an issue because I’ve spent too much time over the past week watching Olympics gymnastics, enjoying everything Ilona Maher does on TikTok, and trying to sleep off a never-ending summer cold — you’re not not right.
So tell me, what are you most interested in hearing about now? Is pitching during an election cycle keeping you up at night? Are you struggling to figure out what your manager wants and could use more advice on managing them? Is deciphering client-speak driving you up a wall? Do you want more guidance on what you’re really supposed to do about all these AI tools popping up?
Drop a quick vote into the above poll or a line in the comments to share what you’re most interested in. It doesn’t even have to be about one of these topics - maybe there’s something I haven’t even thought of that you’d like to see discussed. Open to questions from every level, but of course if you know of people who are just starting out in PR and could use a resource, pass this along.
After all, this newsletter is all about answering the questions you may not feel like you can ask at work! This is the space for them.
I don’t know if it’s the presence of Deadpool in the video or the fact that there’s Spanish in the song, but Stray Kids’ Chk Chk Boom has been living rent-free in my head for two weeks now. Now it can live in yours.
