I've always thought of my PR takes as dead simple. Not intellectual or theoretical enough to deserve airtime. @lennysan's appreciation for the practical and tactical changed that!
Emilie Gerber (@eagerber) is the founder and CEO of @SixEastern, a top PR agency that’s helped 100+ tech companies craft and execute their comms strategy, from stealth startups to publicly traded companies, including companies like @Perplexity_ai @TryRamp and @Nubank. Before starting her own firm, she worked at @Uber, where she led PR for the business development team and B2B products. In our conversation, we discuss: 🔸 How to craft your pitch 🔸 How to find and reach reporters 🔸 The second-order effects of press 🔸 What each tech publication (TechCrunch, Axios, The Verge, etc.) cares most about 🔸 Common misconceptions about the impact press can have 🔸 Pitching press vs. pitching customers 🔸 How to invest in direct communication through social media versus traditional press 🔸 Much more

Software is mostly just workflows on top of a database. This hasn't changed. What's changed is how those workflows are built. @jakeserval and @getserval saw the world changing and nailed it.

Productivity at a standstill as my entire team sleuths for every tiny pixelated client logo in the letters so we can say they’re in a Super Bowl ad. Seven and counting…
In an effort to expand awareness of technology and business, we bought a Super Bowl ad. See you Sunday on NBC

At least once a week a client shares a link asking why we can’t get them a story like that, but it’s actually a story we landed for another client

Because people don’t click the fourth time someone has been in a show in a fortnight!

The minute I see someone doing a podcast tour I cancel the episode we have with them. Not arrogant just have zero patience for people parroting the same message.

"Crisis comms" but it's just dealing with other guests wearing the same costume as your client before he goes on air. Much more fun!
"In venture, you have to be consistent. You can't sprint and pause, sprint and pause." "If you're not growing in this business, you're essentially losing, stagnating." "There's no such thing as cruise control or steady state." @asenkut on being an effective VC:

Can anyone intro me to @nikitabier to see if he can unsuspend my company’s X account? (Also debating if booking time with him on @useintro for this is genius or inappropriate.)

My company’s X account (@sixeastern) got suspended for no reason. Just a small business of 17 women trying not to have our livelihood impacted by @elonmusk (we rely on it for new business!) Can anyone help?

Love this video. Incredible to see @ElisaSchreiber pull off such a flawless launch two months into a role. Rare we get to work with a CMO who speaks our same language, is super collaborative, and moves fast!
Here’s to the founders. We see what you see. We just raised $900M - our largest fund yet - to back those who are brave and daring enough to imagine the radically new.

Married @ksliech in Vegas after reuniting in Vegas during Money 20/20 in 2024. I was there for clients, he was there because it was a quick flight from SF (and I was living in NY at the time). Thanks @money2020! I may have blown off all non-essential sessions/meetings, but I also found a pretty good husband.
