Hello folks,
The newsletter’s taking a little breather while I rethink the project’s next chapter. It’s not going away—just on pause while I explore where it’s headed next.
In the meantime, I’m going to focus on quick updates, ideas, experiments and guest chats on LinkedIn. If you work in comms, feel free to connect with me there—just send me a connection request.
I’ll then let everyone know (who is connected with me via the newsletter or Linkedin) as to where things go next.
As always, I hope you have a great week ahead—may your pitches land, your stories stick, and your clients or bosses be delighted!!
Warm wishes,
Richard (Link to LinkedIn)
“PRBITES“
Techniques, ideas and inspiration from the front line of PR and comms
Not theories but real-world techniques with real-world results. The ideas in-house comms pros and agencies are actually using.
WHAT IS PRBITES?
PRBites is a weekly newsletter that takes about 5-7 minutes to read all about comms technique.
It’s full of observations on what people are doing in PR/comms right now, tips from people, and some fictional challenges to practise again to.
It’s not theory; this is what is actually working in comms techniques today.
Why?
In Richard’s view, the future of marketing is PR and comms. Traditional advertising and branding are going to struggle in the AI era. The future belongs to people like you—the storytellers who weave narratives into people’s lives, whether you’ve been doing it for four months or 40 years.
If you want to hear what others are doing, sign up for the newsletter, and he’ll get the first one off to you very soon.
