PR Pro Tip: Not all attention is good attention

Just because something can go viral doesn’t mean it should. In purpose-driven work, intention matters more than reach.

The goal isn’t just to be seen, it’s to be seen for the right reasons.

Today, on the National Day of Awareness and Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Two-Spirit and Gender-Diverse People, also known as Red Dress Day, we reflect and take action.

The red dress has become a powerful symbol of the lives stolen and the voices silenced by violence, injustice and systemic neglect. This day is a call of remembrance and a call to action to amplify Indigenous voices and work toward meaningful change.

Swipe through this post to learn more about the importance of May 5 and how you can be an active ally.

Every year on May 3, the world comes together to celebrate World Press Freedom Day, a day dedicated to recognizing the essential role of a free press, defending media independence and honouring journalists who have lost their lives in the pursuit of truth.

This year, the spotlight is on a topic dominating conversations worldwide: Artificial Intelligence (AI).

AI is reshaping the landscape of journalism. From enhancing efficiency to broadening access to information, it transforms how stories are told. 

Yet, with these advances come challenges, from the spread of misinformation to ethical and safety concerns.

As professionals connected to this field, this day holds special meaning for us. Today, we take a moment to reflect on the evolving role of AI in journalism and recommit to upholding the values of press freedom in an increasingly digital world.

Posts featuring imagery and symbols of a specific Nation or culture see higher engagement from those communities while also supporting cultural revitalization.

As a non-Indigenous organization, we are committed to meaningful collaboration with Indigenous creators. By working with Indigenous artists, Knowledge Keepers and organizations, especially when serving Indigenous clients, we ensure our work is culturally respectful, relevant and Indigenous-led.

PR Misfire: When purpose gets lost in space. 

When Katy Perry boarded a high-profile Blue Origin flight pitched to symbolize female empowerment and human innovation, it should have been a slam dunk for purpose-driven storytelling. Instead, it significantly missed the mark. 

Rather than inspiring, the event came off as tone-deaf. It was an extravagant display at odds with the very causes Perry and others often champion. 

Today’s audiences can smell inauthenticity a mile away. In an era where brand trust and public loyalty hinge on authenticity, optics alone don’t cut it. Purpose isn't a backdrop for spectacle; it must be deeply embedded in action.
