It’s easy for a story to get lost in the constant firehose of headlines being generated in today’s “24-7 and right now” media cycles. Trying to get the attention of a specific media outlet can feel impossible, and trying to get your narrative out the way you want it can be a real battle… or at least feel like one. Getting the word out about your brand doesn’t need to feel or to be impossible.

Addressing the JVP meetup with Pnina Ben Ami. I traveled throughout Israel over the past 10 days and visited many parts of the beautiful country. Each place was more awe-inspiring than the last. But Jerusalem really stood out, for its history, mix of cultures and religions, and sheer beauty. The Old City must be seen to be believed. Walking through the bustling underground markets and sites that are thousands of years old seemed to take me back in time.

Controversies are amongst the most difficult types of negative events to manage effectively. Why? Because they are emotionally charged situations that automatically segregate your audience. Not to mention that, due to their emotional relatability, they present a high-risk for fast escalation and virality. Furthermore, our current societal climate-with the Me Too and Time’s Up movements, our collective stance against racial discrimination, and more-controversial issues are an increasing hig

They say it’s not “what you know,” it’s “who you know.” That idiom has some legs, but this isn’t an “either / or” world. If you want to be successful, especially in any form of communication, you need to know what you’re doing, and you need to know who wants what you offer. That basic fact will not change, no matter what kind of media we have and who is running it.

Most often, reactive PR is associated with “newsjacking,” where a brand may seize on a trending news story through social posts or expert commentary in the media. Then there are the real-time marketing coups, like when Tide and Oreo took advantage of the 2013 Super Bowl blackout with witty ads; or Snickers sent its product to the Top Gear host who had been suspended for having a meltdown on set.
