You can’t just email or call a journalist and say, “We’re the best.”
That’s not how media relationships work.
Journalists will always ask why — and they should. Leading with self-promotion instead of substance is an instant turnoff.
- Lead with why the story matters
- Offer real context and credibility
- Respect the journalist’s role and audience
📌 Strong PR is about value, not control.

Happy New Year — and welcome to 2026!
A new year always brings fresh energy, renewed focus and an opportunity to reset how we show up — both personally and professionally. As we turn the calendar to 2026, it’s the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and think intentionally about how we want to be seen, heard and remembered.
In this January edition of the PR Maven Monthly Newsletter, I’ve curated a collection of articles I’ve published recently that I believe will be especially helpful as you plan for the year ahead. These pieces span a wide range of timely and practical topics — from celebrating the holidays on a budget, to writing press releases that can be discovered in an AI-powered search environment, to modern-day “tricks of the trade” that every communicator should have in their toolkit. I’ve also included insights and ideas to help you shape smart resolutions for stronger PR and marketing in 2026.
Each of these articles was hand-chosen with you in mind — to help you stay relevant, visible, and credible as you build your personal brand and connect with your targeted audiences. Whether you’re leading an organization, growing a business or managing your own professional reputation, my goal is to give you ideas and tools you can put to work right away.
Here’s to a healthy, happy and successful new year — and to making 2026 your most strategic and impactful year yet.
Warm regards,
Nancy Marshall

If you’re constantly busy but still feel behind, this might explain why.
Procrastination doesn’t usually look like doing nothing — it looks like packed calendars, nonstop emails, meetings that fill the day, and just enough productivity to convince ourselves we’re making progress. Meanwhile, the work that actually matters keeps getting pushed to “later.”
In this piece, Nancy Marshall gets candid about how distraction, devices, and even AI can quietly keep professionals stuck in that cycle — and why talking about how overwhelmed we are can become part of the problem. She also shares what actually helps break the pattern and regain focus.
If you want 2026 to feel more intentional — not just busier — this perspective may hit home. ... See MoreSee Less

AI search is fundamentally changing how people find businesses online.
Instead of typing keywords into Google, people are asking full questions to tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity — and receiving direct answers, not lists of links. That shift means your website, media coverage, and overall digital presence need to be clearer, more credible, and more consistent than ever.
In her latest column for Mainebiz, Nancy Marshall shares practical, real-world guidance on how businesses can stay visible in this new AI-driven search landscape — from strengthening homepage messaging and FAQs to earning credible media coverage and building trust across authoritative platforms.
