Honored to win a Communicator Award (@commawards) for our crisis comms work at MSR!

400% more productive per person. That is where @blocks banking engineering org sits today, inside a compliance-heavy vertical with quality checks at every layer.
We spoke with Bhupesh Bansal, Head of Engineering - Block Banking, at SF’s ELC Annual Conference.
His team applies a five-level AI adoption ladder at the workflow level, identifying which workflows can advance to the next stage of automation.
Bhupesh’s take: "The culture we build in the organization is about open to experimentation, open to learning. That is a core tenet for us”.
Teams of five build across backend, frontend, mobile, and design. Adoption spreads through role modeling and AI champions embedded in each project.
Watch the full conversation for Bhupesh's workflow-level approach to AI adoption.

Meta's new terms allow it to crawl websites linked to business accounts.
For PR pros, it's a reminder that a brand's entire digital footprint matters. From earned media to owned content, every touchpoint should tell a cohesive story.

PR goes beyond tier 1 placements. New research found that 34% of AI citations analyzed came from sites with a domain authority below 40.
For brands refining their AEO strategy, a diverse earned media footprint is even more valuable.

Social commerce revenue at The Independent just overtook SEO-driven revenue, reports @Digiday.
With holiday gift guide pitching underway, it got us thinking: a placement's social reach may be just as valuable as the article itself. 🎁

Podcast audiences trust the hosts they choose to spend hours with.
As @MediaPost reports, that creates opportunities for brands. But trust isn't automatic.
The best appearances connect relevant expertise with conversations listeners already care about.

From LinkedIn's “AI slop” button to Google's expanded AI-content verification tools, audiences are paying closer attention to what's behind the content they see.
For brands, a distinct voice, original stories & authenticity matter more than ever.

We talk a lot about AI at MSR, and this @PRDaily article hits on a big concern: trust.
As AI-generated content becomes harder to verify, credible sources, genuine expertise & strong journalist relationships will matter more than ever.

When buyers’ inboxes are bombarded w/emails, brand trust can be what earns an open.
New Validity research found consumers weigh trust over discounts when deciding which emails to read.
Brands must establish trust long before the promotional email.

What happened to the “Twitter killers”?
This @PRDaily article got us thinking about a bigger shift: audiences are increasingly fragmented.
For brands, one big media hit isn’t the whole picture. When attention is scattered, visibility has to travel.

Podcasts have changed the way we share information & how thought leaders can connect with audiences.
They let audiences hear not only what an expert thinks, but how they think.
Here are a few recent podcast opportunities we helped secure. 👇

Thanks to @saastr and @jasonlk for featuring Larridin this week.
With budget season here, now is the time to truly understand your AI investment. As Jason puts it, "more budget converts to more output only where fluency already exists."
Larridin gives companies clear visibility into their AI spend, from tokens to adoption, and connects that spend to the business outcomes it drives.

Emily from the MSR team recently visited @SFGATE’s pop-up newsroom!
One takeaway: hard news matters, but so do stories rooted in what communities are experiencing and talking about.
A valuable reminder of what you can learn by connecting with journalists beyond the inbox.
