Social media is the most powerful awareness/recruiting tool if used correctly, but also can be harmful if done wrong. When the army tasked me with using social media to reach highschool audiences it helped us break major records recruiting quality highschool students. But at 24 when I focused more on gaining attention that was off brand rather than representing the brand, it caused undo backlash. Moral of the story. There is a fine line of gaining attention and awareness to your brand without crossing a line. When hiring a social media team make sure to have it managed by someone with a CEO mindset that understands the line. Don’t learn the hard way when you don’t have to

Repeat after me. Hiring someone is an emotional decision. Hiring someone is an emotional decision. Hiring someone is an emotional decision. Hiring someone is an emotional decision. Hiring someone is an emotional decision. Hiring someone is an emotional decision. Most candidates are trying to prove logically why they are a good fit for the role. They are trying to check all the boxes. Yet they fail to demonstrate why they are an awesome candidate in general. Someone that the hiring manager should WANT to work with. Someone that is just awesome, a high achiever. Someone that has a personality. Someone who they will be proud to hire and bring on the team. Don't just try to check the box. Stand out, don't just fit in.

What is this obsession with brands wanting to go in house for their creative needs? I've been an agency man all my life and i have seen that a brand that is doing wonders in advertising have a great balance of both in house resources as well as a capable creative agency. Creative Agency being the masters of the industry come up with clutter breaking concepts and the in house team at the brand side supports the agency in extra deliverables or in house branding, but that's just my take. Is building your in house department much more effective than hiring an agency?

"I have an in-house team; why should I hire an agency?" One of my prospects recently asked me this. I understand the hesitation, but hear me out. While an in-house team can be valuable, there are compelling reasons why partnering with a specialized PR agency can take your communications to new heights. 1⃣ Wider expertise: PR agencies work with diverse clients. This gives them more knowledge and connections than your in-house team. 2⃣ Laser-sharp focus: Agencies are dedicated to delivering results. Internal meetings or policies do not distract them. 3⃣ Media savvy: PR professionals at agencies know how to navigate the media landscape. They can craft pitches that grab attention. 4⃣ Cost-effective: It's often more budget-friendly to use an agency's resources than to build a big in-house team. 5⃣ Complementary efforts: An agency can work alongside your in-house team, combining strengths to amplify your brand's impact. While your in-house team is valuable, a specialized PR agency can bring a fresh perspective and powerful connections to the table. It could be the missing piece to take your communications to the next level. What is your biggest hesitation while hiring a PR agency? Let me clear up your doubts in the comments.

I was in the office 4 times last week – luckily all with purpose that inspired and excited me. But it was a juggle. I had a 9am meeting, nursery doesn’t open until 7.45. My partner also had conflicting meetings which meant both of us wouldn’t make pick ups (🙏 thank you grandad for stepping in). It got me thinking how working in an office 9-5 just isn’t set up for working families. Many have to go part time, taking a cut to their salary, just to manage this juggle. The same salary that enables them to pay for the childcare so that they can work🤨. Make it make sense. I just can’t understand why some companies are mandating so many days back in the office. What reason could there possibly be (aside from your hefty office cost…) There are so many reasons why flexible working is not a nice to have but a necessity, especially for inclusivity, and I love that at Tomorrow we have no mandated days in the office and flexible hours. It has been transformative in the way we work, the talent we attract and the inclusivity we have for everyone. Want to join us? Check out our open roles.
