Time flies: Culpwrit is wrapping up its 14th year and nearing 1,500 posts.
It was the early spring of 2008 when three interns led by Kevin Saghy pitched the idea of this blog to yours truly, who at the time headed the Chicago office of Ketchum. That winning pitch was more life changing than ever imagined. It lead to a career shift where I traded in a corporate/agency career for a move to academia where I work with some amazing colleagues who are helping develop future leaders of the public relations profession.
Each year at this point, I enjoy looking back at the past year to see what blog posts clicked most with readers. Here are the favorite posts of 2022:
- Rip Up Your Resume. Focus on Your LinkedIn Profile
- Interns Are a Bargain — Pay Them Fairly
- How a Former Professional Ballerina Became PRWeek’s Outstanding Student
- Ketchum CEO Discusses Serving Employees and Communities Through DEI
- Say Hi! Building a More Connected World Through Weak Ties
- Going Independent: Starting Up or Starting Out in 2022
- What I’ve Learned From Being Bad, Not the Misbehavin’ Kind of Bad
- It’s PR, Not ER: PR Advice From Pros
