Written by Micah Warren, Posted in Byline | Leave a comment

Yes, I agree with the majority of people that think 2016 was awful and we need to move forward to 2017 as soon as possible. But, I like to look at the positives of 2016. First and foremost I got a daughter. That alone wipes out just about everything else bad that was the year 2016. But, another thing I’m really happy about with our current calendar year is that I started writing for Muck Rack. I get to offer my opinions, thoughts and advice to a very large audience of public relations professionals and media members. I really enjoy […]

When it comes to global public transportation, there might not be a more knowledgeable entity than the UITP. As the International Association of Public Transportation they are extremely well plugged into the latest trends in urban transport. On Saturday, the Philadelphia Inquirer spoke to regional manager Andrew Bata about the Northeast Corridor. Not only did it run in Saturday’s paper, it was the top story above the fold! I was pretty excited about that! You can read the full story here

Muck Rack byline on what PR employees should stop doing

Tags: Micah Warren, Muck Rack, PR Employees
Written by Micah Warren, Posted in Byline | Leave a comment

I had previously written two articles for Muck Rack on what PR bosses should stop doing. I wasn’t trying to slam the boss, I was just trying to offer some helpful reminders of operational strategies that just don’t work. However, if I’m going to write that, it’s only fair that I look at it from the other side of the coin as well. I’ve been on both sides, and I know that certain employee behaviors can be maddening as well. So, Muck Rack recently published my article on three things that PR employees should stop doing. I’ve gotten good receptions […]

I was pretty excited at the chance to contribute to Muck Rack, perhaps that biggest media and public relations website. Back in July, I wrote my first article about phone pitching tips for PR professionals. I guess it did really well, because it made Muck Rack’s top three articles for the month of July. PR Daily also must have thought it did pretty well too, because they recently picked it up and ran it as well. Good stuff, glad it did well!

Muck Rack byline on PR bosses part 2

Written by Micah Warren, Posted in Byline | Leave a comment

I mentioned before that I was asked by Muck Rack to write a two-part series on things PR bosses should stop doing. It’s not to rag on the boss, but just to offer some constructive criticism. Part one of that series is right here. The second installment went up today. These articles seem to be performing pretty well in terms of social shares, so there should be more on the way. Stay tuned!

Micah’s byline top 3 for Muck Rack in July

Tags: July, Micah Warren, Muck Rack, phone pitching
Written by Micah Warren, Posted in Media | Leave a comment

You might remember us talking about my byline in probably the top website for PR/media folks called Muck Rack. I offered phone pitching tips for PR pros and it performed quite well. As of this posting, my article has 40 shares on Facebook and 150 shares on LinkedIn. I thought that was pretty good, but apparently it’s really good. I saw a tweet yesterday from @muckrack announcing that my article was one of the top three for all of July! And what’s neat is that one of the other three was written by my good buddy Nicole Fallon Taylor from […]

Twitter allowing anyone to apply for verified account

Tags: Twitter, verified account
Written by Micah Warren, Posted in Twitter | Leave a comment

It used to be that Twitter only let you apply for a verified Twitter account if you were someone or something famous. As of July 19th, they are allowing anyone to request that little blue checkmark. It’s not exactly clear why they are doing this, but they’ve opened up the process to all of us. In defining who can get approved, Twitter says that “an account may be verified if it is determined to be of public interest.” Okay, so they aren’t handing out free blue checkmarks. “We want to make it even easier for people to find creators and […]

I’ve been much more active lately sharing phone pitching tips with other public relations professionals. I actually get quite excited about it.

Thusly, I was excited to offer three of my better phone pitching tips to the good folks over at Muck Rack. It ran today and you can read it right here.

How to turn off Facebook Live notifications

Tags: Facebook, Facebook Live Video, Notifications, off
Written by Micah Warren, Posted in Facebook | Leave a comment

You may or may not have noticed that Facebook recently added its Live Videos feature where you can instantly connect your phone or device to Facebook and broadcast video live to your friends’ news feeds. They even get a notification with a little red dot that you’re live! I haven’t found too many people that are thrilled with this. Fine if you want to let people broadcast live, but I don’t need a notification when someone I know from high school wants to take a video of their dog eating. And most people agree with me. At first, Facebook made […]
