Well as I recorded this episode I am quarantined with my husband and daughter in Jupiter, Fl - things did not quite turn out like we thought this week - just like 2021.
In survival mode, raw and a little shaken and stirred.
All ready to move forward - then sideways, then backward, we had blinders on (at least some of), then we had our head in the sand (or some of us), then we wanted to rip our masks off (most of us), we wanted to travel (I think all of us), to hug, and then we all seemed to suffer burnout and fatigue.
Here’s a recap of the most popular Social PR Secrets in 2021 according to analytics and the ones YOU liked the best and then I added a few of my favorites to prepare you for 2022.
Megan Foster says you can pitch to any type of writer or editor, no matter how influential. She used to receive over 200 pitches a day. How do you make your pitch stand out? Here are Megan’s top tips.

Images of the product will tell the editor what you’re about right away. It also gives them a better understanding of their audience’s reaction to ie, explains Megan.

While almost all companies are willing to splurge on advertising, few understand that digital PR is another central element of a successful business. However, for digital PR to work, brands need more than money. They need to understand the process takes time; they should communicate and cooperate with their agency and keep their expectations realistic.
Once you’ve understood that, digital PR will surprise you in more ways than one. Unlike advertising, PR positively affects every part of the funnel. And unlike advertising, PR offers sustained rewards over time. In short, PR gives brands what they can’t buy in ads. This includes:
Myth #1. PR is only measured in numbers
Myth #2. Only big companies do social listening
Myth #3. The best PR pros live in LA and New York
Brands should keep in mind they’re looking for talent, not location. The best professionals can now be found all over the country – and the world!
