Missouri has been a test state for so many things that happen in other states and the nation. We get new bills that adjust the acceptability window and new strategies. Pay attention, everyone!

C-Suite folks, take notice because the media sure does when you get rid of your PR person or they quit by themselves.
Love to see this incredible duo tackle STL issues and topics through a regular newsletter. Make sure to support!
Some professional news: I'm excited to share that @RyanWKrull and I are getting the band back together (at least the two-man version!). We launch a new daily newsletter and podcast via @stlmag next month. Sign up via now so you don't miss a thing stlmag.com/slm-updates/major…
.@RiverfrontTimes was a wonderful newspaper that had dedicated reporters. The talents of @sarahfenske, @KallieECox, @RyanWKrull & many others I worked with over the past 10 years are what made this hometown newspaper incredible.
This is devastating.

He’s all for the Missouri Human Rights Act now but not when we are talking about protecting LGBTQ+ Missourians from discrimination. 🙄🤡

Ha! “The most google-able name ever” I love it.
Their SEO is going to go through the roof.
If you've ever thought St. Louis could use another 7 a.m. bar or another low-key south city sports bar, you're going to love South City Sports Bar, the bar with the most google-able name ever riverfronttimes.com/food-dri…
Look beyond your industry for inspiration. I’ve worked in government, nonprofit, celebrity fashion, music… the one thing I learned from all of it is each industry can teach the other new things.
You just have to have the courage to think outside the box — that there is no box.
Since joining PROMO, it’s been extremely interesting to see what reporters I used to work with regularly do simple acts of allyship to the LGBTQ+ community like the wonderful @MichelleLiTV and which ones are consumed by misinformation and false narratives like @MarkReardonKFTK.
Particularly useful for any of my travel and food PR friends as well! Check them now and check them often as they can change.
PR pros: quick reminder to look at editorial calendars for opportunities for your clients.
Found two opportunities for a client yesterday by simply checking in with editors re: what was listed on their ed cals.
Works well with trade press.

“Breaking”… you know what’s breaking? Our education system where schools are on 4-day weeks, where teacher pay is outlandishly low, and children cannot read at their grade level.
But sure, let’s worry about schools who are trying to give opportunities to students and employees.

My partner and I are looking for new apartments, and one of my favorite questions to ask is always “What does the pet rent go towards?”
It stumps them every time, particularly if they are already charging a pet deposit that’s between $300-$500.
“We need to protect kids” and yet…
Missouri House Speaker Dean Plocher on Thursday largely refused to answer questions about the state’s lax gun laws and abruptly ended a news conference after he was asked repeatedly about yesterday's shooting in Kansas City. #moleg
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the first time any one is hearing about an officer apology. You may think you've "commented a lot" on this, Chief, but you've provided no answers.
You're worried about the court of law, but you're losing in the court of public opinion.
St. Louis Police Chief Robert Tracy addresses the Bar:PM crash, where police crashed into an LGBTQ bar and then arrested the co-owner: "They made a mistake" riverfronttimes.com/news/st-…
He forgot to add, “…unless you don’t believe in what I believe. Then I will co-parent with you on healthcare access, curriculum taught in schools, and allowing discrimination against LGBTQ+ students.”

I love when press come with receipts 👏
This is the definition on inequity, Black history is part of all of our history and we cannot learn to do better as a society unless we have that knowledge. The FHSB continues to put children’s futures in danger.
The all-white Francis Howell School Board voted Thursday to eliminate the elective courses Black History and Black Literature from the district’s three high schools. The vote was 5-2. buff.ly/487JcOy
Never been this close to a live fire before. Huge shoutout to the fast reaction time of @STLFireDept tonight who contained it to just this detached garage.
Absolutely not. Fellow PR pros, if you’re doing this to get a story, stop. Immediately.
The opener of a real pitch I just received. No notes, no words.
ALT As global attention is riveted by the conflict between Israel and Palestine, war is a term that's on everyone's lips. As marketers, we reflect on battles of a different kind, ones that are fought every day in the realm of digital marketing.
