Setting yourself up for marketing/comms success in 2021 and beyond 2020 is a year that we won’t soon forget. It’s a year that taught us all how essential toilet paper is to the fabric of society; a year that forced us to slow down and reevaluate our priorities; and a year that required everyone to become more comfortable with uncertainty and change.  The latter point was especially the case for businesses across various sectors who had to adopt new approaches to PR/marketing in light of a hectic and ever-changing news landscape. Despite all these changes, we saw several brands that...

I could write for days about SEO (and I might just do that one day), but in this post I’m going to focus on a number of...

Interviewer: “So, what do you know about PR?”Me: Okay, think, what do you know about PR? Why don’t I know this?“Honestly, nothing.”I followed with, “I hope I can better answer that question in a few weeks.” Landing the illustrious internship was just the beginning, the next step was figuring out what I wanted from this internship: what skills do I want to acquire and will I forge a career in this industry? My intention was to approach tasks confidently, take initiative, absorb knowledge like a sponge and eventually try to understand the bigger picture. It was easy to see Gallium was...

With Diwali, Black Friday, Hannuka, Thanksgiving and Christmas all crammed into the next few months, tis’ the season of holiday roundups and gift guides dominating the media. Editors become gift buying gurus who impart their wisdom through in-depth reviews and aesthetically pleasing staging to help us make the most savvy shopping decisions.  In recent years, the eagle-eyed may have noticed a new introduction line kicking off most of these roundups: “we may earn a commission through products bought via links” – but what exactly does it mean?  If an article includes a link to a particular stockist of a product,...

Fortunately, this step isn’t as daunting as it sounds. Companies that are already familiar with manufacturing products will likely already have the tooling in place, which means the next step is to find the materials to suit...

We’re eight months deep into this pandemic with no clearly defined end in sight. Despite the struggles that we as a global society have experienced as a result of this pandemic, it has also provided a unique moment in time to really reflect on the grave issues currently faced by societies worldwide. These issues include climate change, global public health, and of course, racial discrimination.  In the wake of the global Black Lives Matter movement, which has been brought to the forefront of the news due to the public outcry after the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, this...
