Just dropped something new on LinkedIn! Head on over to my profile to read the latest or click the link below: www.linkedin.com/posts/chrisn...

MailOnline says it’s lost 89% of clicks from Google when AI Overviews appear. Even ranking #1 now means half the traffic gone. If the UK’s biggest news site can’t hold its audience, what happens to everyone else? AI search isn’t the future of visibility, it’s the filter. #GEO #AEO

It’s out! Check out my new piece on LinkedIn visibility secrets & storytelling strategies.

Thanks to @DavidPisarek for having me on his podcast. I talked about the Storytelling Secrets that Increase Donations for the third sector. #charityPR

📢 PR Stunt Alert: Greggs to open first pub with its own Newcastle beers on draft. I do love a pop-up pub stunt. We have done a few of these ourselves, and everyone loves to try a fresh new beer or two. www.independent.co.uk/news/busines... #prstunts

Here is a quick clip of me saying that nobody trusts politicians or anyone in 2025. Shocker. 🙈 #trust

Crisis is closer than you think. I joined Frank Algin on Networking RX to share lessons from PR fails, dotcom crashes, BBC ticker chaos & more. Why honesty + speed matter, and how AI is changing crisis comms. 🎧 Listen here: networkingrx.libsyn.com/a-crisis-is-... #PRFail #CrisisManagement

Media workflows are getting a brain transplant. From translation to synthetic presenters, AI orchestration is running the whole circus. But can it tell a good story? 🎬

Just five IPOs and £160 m raised in H1 2025. London’s listing drought is brutal. Now PR pros are pivoting from deal hype to crisis‑comms, ESG talk and board‑level strategy advice 😉

PR pros are swapping press lists for prompts. AI isn’t coming, it’s already here 🤖

Trust is at an all-time low. I was delighted to be invited on the Beyond the Bio Podcast to chat about the power of stories - great fun. Here I am banging on about PMs lol. You can catch the full show here: shorturl.at/GTxyY

Domino’s sent a robot to fight seagulls and deliver pizza. Is it silly? Yes. Did it work? Absolutely. PR gold 🍕

In the strange world of marketing podcasting, we are first in Bosnia today. We are a big deal in Sri Lanka too. 🤭🙈 We are 28th in the UK this morning, but does Bosnia mean I can claim we are now the top 1? I think my mates Jon Evans and Phill Agnew might have something to say about that. 🤣

If your marketing ends up next to someone selling tanning nasal spray, your brand needs SPF 1000 ☀️

Half of Gen Z wants proper news, the other half thinks political analysis means watching a Minecraft streamer rant about taxes 🗳️

No viral hits. No TikTok takeover. Just memes about Coldplay and people pretending to be slugs. What a time to be alive 🧠

Great news if you fancy being deepfaked into saying you love crocs and crypto. Less great if you're in PR 🎭

Reddit’s letting AI crawl your comments so brands can flog more stuff. It’s like targeted ads with a creepier accent 🤖

AI-generated billboards, a pun about "Great Jeans," and suddenly you're being accused of eugenics. What could possibly go wrong? 👖

Delta’s AI pricing has sparked a trust storm turns out people don’t like algorithms messing with their wallets 💸

The UK’s Online Safety Act could protect kids or muzzle the internet and nobody agrees which it is.

Amazon’s Alexa+ might soon interrupt your chats with ads because what we all want is a sales pitch mid sentence.

The BBC’s @spenley.bsky.social once: 📱 Called the iPad a “stupid idea” (6 hrs before launch) 🎵 Told Spotify’s founder it would never work 🚁 Survived a £2,000 drone crash We talked about what these failures taught him about innovation, storytelling and comms. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=YStB...

Pretty shocking and sad to be honest. #PublicRelations

Half of PR pros thought about quitting last year. 44% actually did. 96% can’t switch off after work. That’s the industry average. Not at Prohibition PR. We’re hiring a PR Account Manager in Leeds. Great work. No burnout. DM me

My view today ain't too bad.

A “model” campaign if you like your fashion faces pixel-perfect. Vogue’s AI-generated model just sparked a backlash. Authenticity, diversity, human creativity... all sacrificed for sleek pixels 😬

Seven years of silence and now a sorry? The UK finally admits it left kids swimming in toxic content while Big Tech ran riot. Cheers for the apology Peter, bit late though 🙄

AI search now has ads that talk back. Whole Foods and Indeed are testing “sponsored follow-up questions”. Native genius or just another bloody sales feed in disguise 🤖

UK teens are bypassing age checks with VPNs. Proving once again that if you build a wall, they’ll just Google how to walk around it.

Beeban Kidron wants to ban dopamine-fuelled design tricks. Likes, scrolls, nudges—they’re all in the firing line. Silicon Valley just spat out its kombucha 📵

AI bots are behind boycott campaigns now. If your crisis comms plan doesn’t include fending off fake outrage, you’ve already lost.

📢 PR Stunt Alert: Astronomer took a Coldplay scandal, added Gwyneth Paltrow, mixed in Ryan Reynolds, and turned chaos into clicks. PR witchcraft.

Nearly 1 in 5 students now trust influencers more than teachers when revising. Apparently TikTok is the new textbook.

The UK’s new police unit is scanning social media for anti-migrant content. Safety or surveillance? Either way, Big Brother’s got WiFi.

If I wanted to interview an expert in GEO on the pod, who would you guys recommend? Thanks for your help guys. #geo

Meta’s ad engine now runs itself. You set the budget and goals, AI does the rest. Somewhere, a strategist just wept into their flat white.

NVIDIA’s helping brands mass-produce 3D personalised ads with AI. Because why hire creatives when you can train a robot on Pixar?

JWP and Connatix are ditching social data and using AI to place ads based on content. Contextual targeting is finally getting clever. Took them long enough.

📢 PR Stunt Alert: They weren’t real, they were AI. Got one million Spotify plays anyway. Shame it wasn’t followed by one million refunds 🎧

Ha ha love this. I can never read what they write.

Why does every lead generation person on LinkedIn guarantee results? 🤭 If that were true, wouldn't they be richer than Elon Musk and Donald Trump combined? The confidence of people in these businesses fascinates me. Is it just me?

AI can now write your SEO. Brilliant. Except when every site sounds the same and looks like it was written by a robot what's the point?

Turns out hoovering up people’s private data for ad targeting is frowned upon. Who knew? X might want to read the GDPR rules... or just the room.
