Favorite Tools for Comms Experts…IPR 547

On this week’s episode of Inside PR, Joe Thornley, Martin Waxman, and I discuss our favorite tools and what has changed—and what has stayed the same—since COVID hit.

Before you get into the tools, though, we have an important reminder: it’s not about the tools. It’s about whether or not you’ll actually use them. It’s easy for us to discuss our favorites, but if you don’t love something about the tool or your brain works differently, you’ll hate the tools we love.

It’s more important that you and your team love the tools—that’s what will create collaboration and adoption.

With that out of the way, take a listen to the tools we all love. The tools we use for meetings, for collaboration, for project management, for discussions, for videos and podcasting, and for good, old-fashioned documents.

Enjoy!

We are Back … IPR 546

Hello … Helloooo … Check 1, 2 … Is this thing on?

OK, cliches aside, I’m happy to report that after a hiatus of around 20 months and all the things that have happened between then and now, Gini Dietrich, Joe Thornley and I are back recording Inside PR.

Why? To be honest we missed talking with each other about what’s new in PR, social media and digital marketing. We also missed hearing from you.

Our one big change is we’ve moved to a biweekly or fortnightly format, which fits better with our schedules and other commitments. That way, you can expect to hear from us on a regular basis. (OK, given our recent history, my fingers are crossed on that one.)

In our first new episode, we catch up and talk about what’s changed.

Gini: Learned how to teach first and second grade, bakes and rides her bike more than before, and runs her business with an even sharper focus.

Joe: Stared at the same 120-foot view of the street from his home office for days on end and pivoted to a remote business, communicating internally and externally on Microsoft Teams.

Martin: Moved my office furniture counterclockwise, kept track of who, in the neighbourhood, needed a paint job on their front porch, and started a Digital Marketing Trends newsletter on LinkedIn.

We also talked about how to establish boundaries when you don’t stray too far from the home office and ways to spark creativity.

It’s great to be back!
