AI can draft a press release. Then what?
Monday Morning PR Minute ⏱️Your weekly dose of PR inspiration | Read time: 1 minute | Hi Reader, A few weeks ago, I joined a handful of other CommsConsultants.com members for lunch in Denver. Of course, AI was one of the main topics with people asking what happens to our work. Will companies still hire us? What happens when they ask us to charge less? There’s real fear underneath those questions - and I think it’s pointed at the wrong thing. This Week’s Quick PR Tip: Get Clear On What You’re Actually Paying A Senior PR Partner For“Can’t AI just do this?” is the question on a lot of minds right now. The one worth sitting with is “What am I paying a senior partner for that AI can’t do?” AI can draft. It can pull together a reasonable press release, a usable bio, and a decent first pass at talking points - super helpful. What it can’t do is bring decades of experience to the decisions around that draft. Is this the right story to lead with? Is this even worth pitching and is now the right time? Will this open you up to scrutiny you’re not ready for? Those calls take judgment AI doesn’t have. AI gives you the output. Knowing what to do with it is what you’re paying someone like me for. This week, name three decisions in the last month where you needed someone’s judgment more than their drafting. That’s where the true value of a senior partner shows up. Hope you've had a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend! Until next week, --- Orapin // Purpose-Driven PR Follow me on LinkedIn for more insights and musings about purpose-driven PR.

Monday Morning PR Minute ⏱️ Your weekly dose of PR inspiration | Read time: 1 minute | Hi Reader, I just finished season three of Shrinking and I'm so sad. The kind of sad of leaving people you loved spending time with. I was completely invested in the characters and loved the premise of the show: life is better when you have people in your corner. People who know you, who actually get it, who show up for you, and who make you better. This Week’s Quick PR Tip: Find Someone Who Gets It One of...
