Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the ideas you share. They really resonate with me: PR isn’t just for big brands, it’s a powerful free tool for small businesses too. Amazing how much our thinking aligns with what we’re building at @betatale.com ! Just wanted to send some support :)

Loved bringing this idea to life: Speed networking for journalists and Yorkshire businesses: www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/2500007...

Businesses learn how to share their stories at first York event of its kind

Thirty businesses from York and the region met in the city last week to learn how to better tell their stories and gain media coverage.

Hi Daisy!
If the deadline’s still open, I can share this with the big AI community + @Betatale media experts (there are cryo specialists there).
Which outlet are you writing for, and when’s the deadline?

Let me know if it’s still relevant — or if you’ve got new topics.
Cheers!
Constantine

Constantine Boch @constboch.bsky.social · Jun 7

Hi Heidi,
I realise it’s been a month, but if the deadline hasn’t passed, I can share this in my Tech Nation community and also post it in the @Betatale media expert network, where I’m the founder.

Let me know if it’s still relevant, or if there are any new topics you’re working on.

Cheers! :)

Hi Sam! Deadline likely passed, but we had slug invasions on our ground-floor balcony. My wife hates slugs and used Slug & Snail Killer (blue granules) - magically, slugs won’t cross it :)) Super effective but toxic to pets. Can share more, just limited to 300 characters here :)
