In a previous blog, I shared some tips on what I learned from my first couple of weeks in the PR industry. One thing I learned after joining the Catapult team is that, “Tips from co-workers are the best… if a co-worker gives you any information on how to make your time more productive or to make others in the office happier, take it. Many of my co-workers at Catapult have helped me with this.”
Shouldn’t this giving approach and insight also apply to our industry and peers?
I think so!
So, looking back I reviewed some of the great industry-level content the team at Catapult regularly shares. It’s full of great tips and insights about Strategic Narrative Marketing, and our vision for a better PR industry. This week, I want to celebrate what has been said and offer our top takeaways just in case you might have missed any along the way.
