The U.S. Cen­sus Bureau recent­ly released results from the 2020 Cen­sus, high­light­ing new changes and trends in com­mu­ni­ties across the country.

Over the years, we’ve heard from clients and oth­er orga­ni­za­tions in our net­work that recruit­ment and hir­ing is a grow­ing area of focus for com­mu­ni­ca­tions teams, and that grow­ing their brand aware­ness as an employ­er is a top pri­or­i­ty.

The COVID-19 pan­dem­ic and result­ing media fur­loughs have forced many orga­ni­za­tions to rethink their earned media strate­gies over the last few months – cre­at­ing the oppor­tu­ni­ty to review exist­ing strate­gies and tac­tics.

Recent­ly, I had the oppor­tu­ni­ty to attend the Ragan Con­tent Mar­ket­ing Con­fer­ence in the heart of Sil­i­con Val­ley and left with sev­er­al take­aways about brand jour­nal­ism and con­tent mar­ket­ing that we’ll be putting to work for our clients in the future.
