Most executive communications strategies I've reviewed focus heavily on messaging frameworks, channel selection, and cadence. All important. But here's what's consistently missing:
Positioning.
Not the organization's positioning -- the leader's own.
Over the course of countless conversations with executives across industries, one pattern stood out: very few leaders had invested serious time defining the space they wanted to own in the minds of their audiences. They could articulate company strategy with precision. They could speak to quarterly targets. But when asked, "What do you want to be known for?" the answers were often vague, reactive, or borrowed from the corporate brand.
That gap is where I see the biggest untapped opportunity right now.
We're operating in an AI-saturated content landscape. Thought leadership feeds are overflowing. Every platform rewards volume. The noise is deafening -- and growing. In that environment, executives who have done the foundational work of establishing a clear, differentiated positioning don't just stand out. They compound.
It's one of the least invested-in strategies in executive branding. Yet, in my experience, it's also one of the most effective.
Positioning gives a leader's communications a throughline -- a reason for every op-ed, keynote, panel, and post to exist beyond simply occupying space. It creates coherence. It builds recognition. And over time, it builds trust at a velocity that ad hoc visibility simply can't match.
So if you're an executive reading this and you haven't deliberately defined your positioning, consider this your invitation. Not because it's trendy. Because the leaders who do this work now will have a compounded advantage that becomes harder to close with every passing quarter.

Should Companies Audit What Employees Post on Social Media?
Workplace discussions around responsible social media use are becoming a key part of modern corporate governance. Photo: Vitaly Gariev via Unsplash.Dear Cherubs, every employee has a smartphone, a social media account, and, occasionally, the confidence to post something that makes the legal department reach for the aspirin. The question isn’t whether companies notice anymore. It’s whether they should actively monitor what relevant employees post online.
The answer, in many cases, is yes—but with boundaries.
WHO COUNTS?
Not every employee represents a company in the same way. The warehouse worker posting holiday photos isn’t in the same position as the CEO announcing “exciting news” before the stock market opens. A software engineer leaking confidential product details isn’t the same as someone sharing pictures of their dog wearing a tiny hat.
Roles matter. Executives, senior managers, public relations staff, salespeople, recruiters, customer service representatives, and anyone with access to sensitive information can significantly affect a company’s reputation or even its legal standing.
According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, companies must ensure material information is disclosed fairly to investors. One careless post from a senior executive could create regulatory headaches and market confusion.
THE FINE LINE
Auditing social media shouldn’t mean turning into Big Brother with a Wi-Fi connection.
Employers generally have legitimate reasons to monitor public posts when they relate directly to company interests, such as confidential information, harassment, discrimination, threats, or conduct that damages the business. What employees discuss privately with friends or within lawful private spaces is a different matter and may be protected by employment laws or privacy legislation depending on the country.
That’s where many companies stumble. The goal isn’t to police opinions. It’s to manage risk.
A sensible social media audit focuses on business-related concerns rather than personal beliefs unrelated to work. Otherwise, the company risks becoming the story instead of preventing one.
COMMON SENSE WINS
According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), many employers already include social media expectations in workplace policies. The best policies are surprisingly boring—and that’s a compliment.
They explain what confidential information is.
They remind employees not to imply they speak for the company unless authorised.
They encourage respectful online behaviour.
And they outline what happens if someone ignores those rules.
No mystery. No secret surveillance. Just expectations.
Training may actually be more valuable than monitoring. Many social media disasters aren’t malicious—they’re accidental. A frustrated employee vents after work. An enthusiastic executive posts too early. Someone shares a client story without realising confidentiality applies online just as much as it does in the office.
According to thisclaimer.com, digital reputation has become one of the fastest-moving business risks because online content spreads globally in minutes while apologies travel considerably slower.
The smartest companies therefore treat social media governance like cybersecurity: prevention first, enforcement second.
Ultimately, companies absolutely should pay attention to what relevant employees publicly post when those posts could affect customers, shareholders, confidential information or the organisation’s reputation. But auditing should never become blanket surveillance of employees’ personal lives.
Good governance protects both the company and its people. Bad governance simply creates another PR crisis waiting to trend.

PR is evolving because of AI, not declining.
PR continues to be a vital force in the modern communications landscape, despite persistent misconceptions about its relevance in an era dominated by artificial intelligence and digital transformation. The fundamental purpose of public relations, which is about building and maintaining a positive public image through strategic communication, media relations and influencer outreach, remains as essential as ever. What distinguishes PR from advertising is its focus on earned credibility rather than paid placement, a distinction that sometimes requires explanation but does not indicate industry decline. Rather, this recurring need to articulate PR’s unique value proposition serves as a reminder that the discipline operates in a less immediately tangible space, making its contributions sometimes underestimated despite their critical importance.
The increasing convergence of PR, marketing, and social media represents not a threat to the profession but rather an expansion of its reach and influence. This integration with emerging channels such as social media platforms, influencer partnerships, and content marketing demonstrates the field’s adaptability and forward momentum. The core competencies that PR professionals bring to the table, which include crafting compelling narratives, managing reputations, and cultivating relationships with media outlets and new media, are more valuable now than at any point in recent history. While the industry may appear different on the surface, its foundational function of building trust and safeguarding a brand’s reputation remains indispensable in an increasingly complex information ecosystem.
The evolution toward digital PR has introduced new dimensions to the practice, including online reputation management, SEO-driven content strategies, and sophisticated influencer relations. These developments have naturally created overlapping responsibilities with marketing functions, which can occasionally generate friction within organizations. However, this convergence also presents significant opportunities for PR professionals to broaden their skill sets and demonstrate greater strategic value. The transformation underway is best understood as an evolution of the field rather than a revolution or decline, reflecting the natural progression of communications in response to technological and cultural shifts.
Client education remains a crucial component of sustaining PR’s perceived value in the marketplace. Many stakeholders continue to conflate PR with advertising or social media marketing, expecting immediate sales outcomes rather than recognizing the long-term trust and visibility that PR cultivates. Developing educational materials, such as presentations, reports and case studies, can effectively communicate PR’s distinct contribution to organizational success. Organizations that truly understand and appreciate PR’s impact tend to maintain longer, more productive relationships, underscoring the reality that PR is not an expense but an essential investment for any organization seeking sustainable growth.The proliferation of AI, analytics, and digital marketing tools has undeniably transformed certain aspects of PR work. Tasks such as media monitoring, data analysis, and routine outreach are increasingly being automated, freeing practitioners to focus on higher-order strategic and creative work. This technological shift does not signal the industry’s demise but rather its maturation.
PR professionals who embrace adaptation by concentrating on the strategic, creative, and human-centric elements of their work, areas where machines cannot replicate genuine human insight and relationship-building, will find themselves more valuable than ever. The future belongs to those who leverage technology as a tool while doubling down on the uniquely human capabilities that define exceptional public relations.
