Today (September 5th) has been declared the International Day of Charity by the United Nations General Assembly. According to their website, the UN calls for a “spirit of global solidarity focused on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable… and acknowledges the role of the diverse public sector.”  In short, we all must do our part!

Even though summer is winding down, there are PR opportunities to keep us busy. From more podcasts to human news aggregation on Facebook, we hope these opportunities can be helpful in your day-to-day PR activities!

Welcome back to the May edition of the Inner Circle Round Up, where we pour through media news to help find new opportunities for you to consider. This month, NBC’s streaming platform and a new global religion desk are among some of the promising new PR possibilities.

After getting so many things wrong over the course of the season, the man who “drinks and knows things” returns to true form. Tyrion now recognizes that Varys was right all along and that his faith in Daenerys was tragically misplaced. While a stroll through the burnt shell of King’s Landing - and a few hours back in prison - have brought him to this realization, one thing he knows for certain is that it is Jon Snow he needs to convince.

Lord Varys, aka The Master of Whisperers, is back to doing what he does best this week - quietly assessing the situation and pivoting strategy. With the Battle of Winterfell won and the White Walker apocalypse averted, Varys refocuses on who will be the best leader for the Children of Men.

Spring has sprung, bringing us fresh opportunities for PR pros from text based news platforms to opinion pages and you guessed it- more podcasts! In this month’s Round Up, we continue to see print and digital publishers expand their audience reach with new platforms and formats- which means more ways for PR pros to creatively reach them.

Each week our team will select a GoT Communicator of the Week, highlighting the character who understood their audience, stayed on brand, and most effectively communicated their message.

Every year some organizations rise above the online chatter and commentary with clear, meaningful campaigns. Some don’t. Scott Circle Communications VP Dee Donavanik gave her take on one hit and one blunder that she saw in 2018.
