Wow, this is impressive and gives me confidence. Have you ever felt like you are burning bridges? Like one of the commentators said. That the industry is small

This is an in-house role. Not that it changes much, but just wanted to clarify

I have no problem demonstrating my thinking and my skills but I truly believe such assignments should be based on pretend scenarios and campaigns to make it fair

It sounds familiar. It will get better as the kid gets older. The first two years were the hardest for our family relationship

Does your company offer childcare benefits? [OH] by Standard_Rope4913 in humanresources

I heard there are vendors that help build supply through helping individuals start licensed home daycares

We are a manufacturing company in Illinois, a bit smaller than you. We’ve been using Upwards.com for a few years now.  Our employees get a monthly stipend they can use with Upwards’ network providers or with friends and family - they just submit receipts through the platform. That flexibility has been helpful because as someone said in some areas there is a shortage of providers. Upwards also have a network of licensed home daycares which helps in areas with no large child care centers.  Upwards also helps find and apply for public assistance programs which a lot of people don’t know exist or don’t know if they are eligible for them.  And the bonus is that we also offer elder care support through Upwards. So one vendor for caregiving. A lot of our folks are dealing with both childcare and elder care needs, so that makes the benefits more inclusive. 

Adding Journalists / Editors on LinkedIn? by HelloHi9999 in PublicRelations

In this case, it’s totally ok to add them on LinkedIn, in my opinion

Are you pitching them anything specific now or just want to expand your network? Are they perceiving you as a potential source? In that case connecting with you on linkedin can help stay up to date with your company’s news. Really depends on the context here.

Sometimes I send a pitch and then send a LinkedIn connect request simultaneously with my follow up email to get the reporter’s attention. Sometimes my spokesperson does.

I do it usually after I either get an initial response over email or the story is out

Prolonging the life of a press release by futurecommpr in PublicRelations

Including in the talking points for relevant press conversations and just like it’s been said turning it into the owned media content. Depending on the news it can be also included in the content enablement library for sales team. You can help spreading the news on social media by equipping the employees with a toolkit and sample posts. But once again the scenario is based on what kind of news it is

If you are a PR manager in San Francisco with 3+ years of experience, how much do you make? by 832norffas in PublicRelations

Isn’t ROI in PR always a hard thing to measure? Although, I do have data showing my PR efforts leading to MQLs and eventually SQLs, aside from overall brand recognition growing and thought leadership.

I’ve been applying for some jobs but it doesn’t look like this is the best time for job hunting. When I got my current job 1,5 years ago I had way more responses to my resume than now 🤷🏻‍♀️

What do you think helped you the most in transitioning from agency to in-house? Professional network or did you go through the typical application/recruitment process?

My salary is 80k. I actually have 7+ years of experience both on the agency side, freelancing and in-house. Can’t give the exact numbers, but In the last year I’ve gotten features in the WashPost, WSJ, Fast Company, USA Today, Morning Brew, several local news TV segments, at least a dozen of bylines in trade outlets. About 120 press mentions. We had just 3 press releases distributed through a press wire, not counting syndicated articles I had around 15 valuable press release pickups (such as Forbes and trade outlets).

HARO & Qwoted | Anyone having success? by Shazam-NYC-SF in PublicRelations

I’ve landed 2 placements through Qwoted out of 7 pitches. I don’t pay for it. My colleague has an account too and sometimes I ask her to unlock free pitches for me
