💥 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 ✊

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 ✊
