At the end of each month we invite a member of our PR Couture Council to curate a selection of industry news, tools and other fun stuff capturing their interest at the current moment. Enjoy!

I have a few things I’m currently obsessed with right now.
1. I LOVE my salt lamps. I have two in my office and one in my bedroom. They give off that perfect calming yet empowering vibe.
2. I’m a huge walker. I love getting in a ton of steps when I’m not at my desk. I can’t live without my Bose SoundSport Free wireless headphones. Your life will change once you cut the cord.
3. We’ve recently been testing the waters with Airtable in the office. I’m still digging in, but so far I’m enjoying the status, approval and assignment functionalities it offers between managers and team members.
You just landed a huge hit for a client and five minutes later they want to know what’s next.
1. Take advantage of internships and the opportunity to learn from others in the industry. Don’t be afraid to send a cold email and ask to grab coffee with an agency owner about how they got started.
2. Make your notebook your new best friend. I’ve had interns tell me they’ll remember everything I assign them in a touch-base and then I list 20 things off. It’s just not possible. Anticipate and be prepared. Bring it with you everywhere.
3. Knowing what you love to do is just as important as knowing what you hate to do. Learn the difference and let it support you in finding your dream career.
2. In PR, you have to be okay with rejection and understand that getting a “yes” or acceptance is far and few between. I appreciate Gary V’s enthusiasm in this video to inspire youth not to just shut down after being told “no” once. *Youth lecture starts around 7:30. This video has adult language.
3. Running your own business forces you to avoid living in the past and to quickly make changes to adjust to industry ebbs and flows. In this article, Richard Branson shares 11 words that confirm that exact mentality.
4. Being in the business of storytelling, I love listening to stories and hearing how people got started in their career. In this podcast interview Tim Ferriss turns the tables and interviews Katie Couric to get the scoop on her background.
5. I love to skim through top marketing campaign roundups or award lists to see what worked and didn’t work for brands of all sizes. This article summarizes the 2018 WARC 100 and shares the impactful results for a few of the top performing campaigns.
