Getting communication pros together for a day of training is great. Getting department leaders to join the communication pros for a day of training is phenomenal! Had fun with the whole group @MountPleasantPD for a day of strategizing and messaging. What a team!

Always happy to help a student out when I can. A @GeorgiaStateU student visiting family in town needed a law enforcement source for a research project. Sometimes getting the right information to the right people at the right time is done one-on-one. #thestateway

When writing a news release, think like your reader: -They want news, not history. -They want what’s happening, not what happened.

I’ve never seen things go that well for the fifth person stepping up to the mic at a news conference.

Reputation management starts inside the organization. It’s an everybody thing.

Media staging areas shouldn’t be holding pins akin to a timeout spot. They should offer value and visuals.
