Most of you re
ading this know that Buchanan Public Relations is a dog-friendly office. And while everyone here appreciates canine cuddles, you may not know that about half of us are just as, if not more, obsessed with cats. In fact, I’ve brought my feline friend, Phoebe, into the office on several occasions (I mean, come on, how cute is she?).
And, we’re not alone. If you work in PR, you likely spend a fair amount of time on social media. So, you must know that cat memes are all the rage. And earlier this month, a study of 7,000 internet users performed by Computers in Human Behavior even revealed that watching cat videos might actually be good for you.
So, for your viewing pleasure, here are a few cats whose expressions describe some typical situations in PR – I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
1. When you’ve been in a pitching rut and finally get an interview request
2. What you feel like after sending a clip and your client says, “This is great!”
3. When a reporter says, “I might be interested. Can you send more info?” and then disappears
4. Sending different announcements for a handful of clients in the same day
5. When you discover your work BFFs are just as weird as you
6. When you’re put on a new account, you are really excited about, and they want to make a big splash
7. 2:59 p.m. during summer Fridays
8. Working with the coolest co-workers on the planet
