Meredith & The Media <> Off the Record Collab ($20/Month Discount)
I’ve had some big jobs. Led PR for household names and agencies. Climbed the corporate ladder super quick—I swear I was just 22!
But no one talks about the fast ride to leadership and all of the responsibility (and um, loneliness) that comes with being a comms leader. My biggest pet peeve is when people say, “It’s PR, not ER.” Like, no, you make the wrong decision and:
Catastrophic headlines
The stock crashes
Leaders get fired
Teams get fired
Online trolls have a field day
Your name is now forever tied to said crisis on the internet
OK, OK, those are extreme examples, but they do happen. I was fortunate to have some strong leaders and mentors, but nowadays, I’m seeing them less and less of that, making “community” more critical than ever.
Enter Off the Record, a private membership and community for comms professionals, founded by Gab Ferree. I’ve followed Gab since her days leading comms at Bumble, Slack, and Salesforce but believe she has truly peaked with this latest venture.
Off the Record opened for members THIS WEEK and includes:
Monthly workshops that go way beyond surface-level fluff
Real-time gut checks from people who’ve sat in your seat
A community that feels like the group chat you actually want to be in
Strategic templates and tools to stop guessing
As a true believer in community, I had to be part of this membership opportunity, including signing myself up.
In Meredith & The Media’s FIRST-EVER COLLABORATION, Meredith & the Media subscribers will get $20 off of the founders’ rate of $99/month, with a yearly savings of $240!
That's $20 off, every month, locked, using code MEREDITH at checkout*.
We all need a comms bestie. One that doesn’t judge us or compete with us—but rather listens to us and lifts us up. I wish I had this community coming up in comms—but, the best I can do is be part of it now and encourage you all to do the same.
