The unlikely has happened. Finally, there's a solid startup marketing course + community available in the small language that is Estonian. Learn from the people that helped the likes of Bolt and Wise grow - @KarolaKarlson @mrknt @marelleellen and others gritpodcast.ee/

If only journalists knew how much PR folks protect them from clients/executives & their (not-so newsworthy) whims. Keeping them at bay is like 35% of our job! Think your inbox is jammed with irrelevant stuff now? Imagine if we didn't control pitch frequency, content & context.

The ideal number of investor quotes in your funding press release? Between 0 and 1. (tbh leaning towards the lower end...)

A reminder: the world doesn't care about your new product. It cares about its value to them. And value is personal. So know your audience and ask yourself, "why should they care?".

Dear PRs trying to sell me PropTech stories: I am literally NOT interested unless there is a climate / net zero angle. The built environment is a massive CO2 emitter. Please do your homework…

It sounds like Twitter’s PR/comms team — which was maybe ~80-100 people — is down to just two people after layoffs today….
