PSA I came across a job listing and felt compelled to comment. It was advertised as a "Communications Coordinator" and the list of duties and areas requiring specialized skills was STAGGERING. They included; Copywriting for web, writing press releases, preparation of internal communications, speech writing, script writing, media coordination, photography, videography, video editing, social media content development, social media management, communications strategy, public relations, and on site support for events. This type of position has unfortunately been normalized in many businesses but let's be clear; the above is describing a minimum of three positions and it's likely closer to four. In our industry it has always been a challenge to explain the amount of training, expertise, and experience required to execute even one of these tasks at a high level. There are of course the realities of available budgets and team sizes to consider, but there are always solutions that go beyond stuffing unrelated jobs into one team member who's likely to be overworked, undervalued, and not performing well in any one area. A thorough review of your requirements and audit of your overall marketing and communication strategy could reveal which SPECIFIC position would have the largest impact, and then tasking an agency can fill the other gaps in your team, especially for specific campaigns and initiatives. #humanresources #leadership #brandingdesign #brandingagency #marketingagency #communications #communicationsjobs #albertabusiness #socialemediamarketing #socialmedia #contentstrategy #teamdevelopment

After leaving Roaring Mouse and taking some time off, it’s about time I got back to work. So, I’m looking for my next comms opportunity! Here’s a little bit about me and what I can offer: 📚I'm a highly experienced communications professional. I’ve worked in PR and comms for more years than I dare admit to (OK then, 25+ years). During that time, I’ve worked in-house; for PR agencies large and small; and as an independent consultant, most often supporting technology, financial & professional services, manufacturing or retail businesses. 💡I’m expert in PR and media relations, internal comms, issues management, and content creation. I’m also a qualified proofreader. 📢I can support your business with B2B and Tech PR content delivered across traditional, digital and social media. Or work with your leadership team on a Corporate PR programme to manage your organisation’s reputation. Or create a strategic internal communications plan using creative content to drive employee engagement. Or develop engaging content – from blogs to whitepapers, podcasts to infographics. Or simply read stuff for you. 🎯I love working with businesses to put a spotlight on their skills and successes. I know how to dig out and tell a good story, and create campaigns that hit the mark with audiences and deliver against targets. I’m really flexible workwise. I’m equally happy to join an organisation as an employee or provide freelance support. What's more important is working for a business I enjoy being a part of, for clients I admire, and with people I like. If you know a business or have contacts I could help, please get in touch. Thank you! 🙏 #OpenToWork #PR #Communications

If you’re hiring PR help, be sure to ask if they handle ALL the work themselves. You want full transparency. If they outsource, you want to know. This came in an email today from a company that does work FOR public relations agencies, who I guess don't want to do (or are unable to do) the work themselves? 🤷♀️ Note: I NEVER outsource work - when you hire me, you work with me. #PRTips #publicrelations #PRconsultant #freelancePR
