PURPLE’s Post

I love this post. Here's the thing - good comms people have two key characteristics. As Sarah Kissko Hersh points out below, tenacity is one essential characteristic. It's the willingness to learn more about your market, publications, key reporters/bloggers/influencers, etc. Even if I don't know a particular reporter, I know how to do a deep dive, understand what they do/what they value when writing a piece and how to grow that relationship. Relationship building is the heart of a successful comms program. It also enables you to gain a better understanding of issues at a broader level, providing guidance to your internal team as to whether you can add value to that conversation. The second is the ability to write. Good writing is a super power. Well-written outreach opens doors and well-written articles build trust with your audience. That's critical in any market, but particularly critical in #CybersecurityCommunications. It's not just small details; it is understanding how to craft a piece that gets to the heart of what matters to both the journalist as well as their audience. Of course, all of this is so much easier when you love what you do and the market you're in. Then learning more, understanding and growing relationships with others is not only educational but...well, fun!

So well written! PR principles remains the same in all the industry so domain expertise is just a myth. PR is PR and it remains same for all industries. #pr #lifeofpr #prconsultant

THIS, 💯. Transferable skills for days (and months and years). It’s as true in #communications as it is in PR. A wise co-worker used to say, “You can more easily teach an industry, it’s harder to teach skills.” If you limit your team or company to people with industry experience, you miss out on: ✅ Talented employees who bring history on what’s worked and what hasn’t in other areas ✅ Fresh ideas from other businesses and industries ✅ New perspectives on how to look at and solve for issues ✅ People who ask questions that generate new lines of thinking ✅ Team members who might be a better culture fit despite not having as much industry experience I’ve worked for high-tech, healthcare, entertainment, media, hospitality, beverage, business software, finance, news, beauty and med-tech companies, both B2C and B2B, as big as Fortune 10 and as small as startup. Each stop was a chance to bring my spectrum of experience to bear on their issues and add a color or two to my palette. Every company that hired me got to take advantage of it. It wasn’t a one-way street of them investing in me, I invested my expertise in them too. And a variety of colors is more inspiring and engaging than painting everything with the same shade over and over. Once people get used a single color that never changes, it becomes an ignored background. Can you remember what color your house is? #communications #commsjobs #transferableskills #skills
