Founder 

Crackle Communications is a tech public relations agency that works with good companies only. We know communications, social media, branding and creative services cold. We’re a remote-first PR agency built for now, with deep experience connecting stories to their audiences. Warning: we’re transparent, picky and fearless.

💥 We don’t know if the economy is about to tank, and everything feels crazy. 

But we do know this: 

PR isn’t a “nice to have” that can be cut to save costs any more. 🔪

Not this time. 

As CEO Gregory Galant of Muck Rack  correctly notes, PR is no longer just “brand-building”: 

It’s a *performance channel*. 

Large Language Models like ChatGPT  heavily favor *earned media* in their answers to your questions.

Helllloooo, PR 👋

Vroom vroom

This is the way ✊

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

We must film everything. 

Even if we’re scared. 

It’s the only way to hold accountable the *secret police killing American citizens* like I.C.U. nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti.

This is the way ✊

Tech Reporter: “Is there *anything else* I didn’t ask during this interview that my readers should know?” 🤷‍♀️

CEO: “No, I um, I think we covered just about everything.” 

PR pros: 😩

Wrong answer, CEO. 

When a reporter offers you a *layup* at the end of an interview…

… You best SLAM DUNK your most powerful message. 

To let that opportunity pass is a dereliction of your most important duty: 

🌟 storytelling for your brand 🌟

This is the way ✊

No alternative text description for this image

graphical user interface, text, application

Your new website isn’t newsworthy. 

I’m sorry. 

This is the way ✊

Not to brag, but my middle name is Reid. 

So I’m literally PR Headrick. 

From birth. 

This is the way ✊

💥 Muck Rack’s CEO Gregory Galant is my spirit animal. If you’re in comms, you need to follow him. 

Consider this absolute banger: 

“In Muck Rack’s What Is AI Reading? December 2025 report, we found that *82% of links cited by AI come from earned media*. In many ways, this reinforces the fundamentals PR has always been built on.”

Hard agree. 

The difference is, as he put it in a different post, now PR can’t be reduced to a “nice to have” during tough times. 

Not any more. 

Your CMO needs to understand that forevermore, in the age of AI answers, PR is a legit performance channel. 

Put that in your pipe and smoke it. 

This is the way ✊

Head of PR Partnerships | How to Bulletproof your Storytelling: Communication Tactics from a Military Media Officer

I help leaders under pressure communicate with clarity, command, and courage when the stakes are high.

As a Chief Comms Officer in the Ministry of Defence and a Squadron Leader in the RAF Reserves, I’ve operated where reputation is mission-critical: from strategic campaigns with global allies to high-profile film and TV partnerships.

I’ve led at the intersection of crisis and creativity; helping senior teams align under pressure, influence with credibility, and move fast without losing trust.

As a third-generation military officer, I’ve seen what happens when stories fracture in the field, and when they hold the line.

This is my Bulletproof Storytelling system.

🔹 Clarity: see the mission, the message, and the moment with precision.

🔹 Command: lead with authority and alignment that others can follow.

🔹 Courage: act visibly when it would be easier to hide or harden.

In high-stakes leadership, your story isn’t just content, it’s command, control, and credibility.

“Her strategic vision was key to the success of Top Gun Maverick. Lesley knows how to integrate brand messaging under immense pressure.”

Ya-Lin Chen, Head of Partnerships & Promotions, Paramount Pictures UK

“Lesley brings jaw-dropping insights into leadership and crisis management, delivered with humour, authenticity, and unparalleled expertise.”

Charlotte Speedy, Head of Communications, Guide Dogs for the Blind
