What We’re Thankful For This Season

The turkey is eaten, the leaves are off the trees and we are all in the last days of fall. November really marks the beginning of the end of the year – especially in the corporate world.

If you are trying to get ahold of anyone, you probably have realized the holiday season can seem like a wash with everyone on vacation or at luncheons, year-end vacations or just plain checked out until January.

Luckily, this isn’t the corporate world. (No offense to those working in corporate, we just really love working for a small business!)

When you’re working in PR and social media, there are no down times. Every season is important and a part of your overall plan. Year-end is also a time for reflecting on how grateful we are for the clients who entrust us with sharing their stories.

This year we’ve had the privilege of sharing some really meaningful social media content.

We’ve also been able to share stories in a very new, emerging industry.

And then there are the sweet clients that remind us all to stop and make memories with our family and friends.

Most recently, we’re preparing some fun holiday news on a seasonal event we helped launch in 2020 when the world learned the art of ‘The Pivot.’ Royal Park Hotel learned to pivot really well and made international headlines for their holiday themed hotel suites in 2020.

I am grateful for each client who entrusts us with their words, branding, and storytelling. I’m grateful for the media folks who open my emails, call when they need something, and pick up the phone when I have an idea.

Without this perfect balance of crafting stories and finding the places where they can be told, I wouldn’t get to do the job I love.

Most importantly, I’m grateful for my team! The Walker Publicity team went through a lot of changes in 2022 and they not only navigate their own work really well, they remind me of why we do what we love.

As you’re heading into the holiday season, don’t forget to think back on 2022 and be grateful for the people you’ve met, the stories you’ll tell, and the journey you’ve been able to experience.
