Annual #PR predictions post coming at ya (this time in a *new & improved* format thanks to our partner BrandSlap). I know you've been on the edge of your seat in anticipation! 📧 Email isn’t going anywhere, but AI inundation abounds. Bot pitches are clogging journalists' inboxes. We'll have to lean on other channels like X, LinkedIn and QWOTED for pitching. 📰 Publications as a piece of the puzzle. "Traditional media is dead and founder-led comms is the future" was the common refrain this year. What I believe to be true about that statement is that we'll be doing more comms via other channels in 2025 — LinkedIn, speaking, internal, short-form video, etc. Wrote about this recently for MarketingProfs (in the comments). 📐 We’re on the cusp of a breakthrough in PR measurement. More on that in the video, but I am impressed by what I am seeing from tools like Memo. 🤝 Are events back... for real this time? Based on what I am hearing from clients, we'll see a comeback next year for in-person activities. I am talking interesting, mid to large-scale events with cool activations and knowledgeable speakers… not desksides :). What did I miss?

I wonder if Bluesky will take off as a potential replacement for X 🤔

🔮 thank you, resident Oracle.🔮 Agreed, social pitching and tools like SOS/Qwoted are suuuuper necessary. In 2025 I wonder if we'll see more reporters/editors creating their own email lists to get sources, similar to what Rachel Wolfe from the WSJ does!
