My PR Tweet Went a Little Bit Viral
We're 11 days into 2023, and I already messed up + where I'm traveling next!
Hey everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season celebrating whatever festive traditions you celebrate with family and friends. And in the eternally wise and ornery words of Larry David…
Since it’s well after the 7th, let’s just get down to business.
I’ve already faced some communication mishaps in 2023, and it cost me. It’s been a big lesson learner for me when working with PR and editors. Lesson: Transparency and communication are key!
So, I asked my brilliant, trusted colleagues what their favorite PR traits, are and it went a little bit viral. Mine isn’t a shocker, but all of these are helpful.
I Get This Question A Lot…
Since I travel 24/7 365, friends and colleagues ask which credit card is the best for travel. For me, it’s hands down Chase Sapphire Reserve.
Yeah, the annual fee is high, but $300 of it goes to travel, so in reality, it’s only $250. The best part for me is free Priority Pass lounge access for you and a guest. It’s legitimately the biggest perk during long layovers or when getting to the airport three hours early because you’re a travel writer with travel anxiety.
There’s lots of other travel insurance, hotel and Clear perks as well. Plus, their customer service is legitimately excellent. Unheard of, I know.
So, if you’re in the market for a new travel credit card, click here and I may get some extra affiliate points.
