Mid-Quarter PR Check-In: Is Your Strategy on Track?

We’re nearly halfway through Q1—can you believe it? 🎉 Time is flying, and now’s the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and ask yourself: Is my PR strategy actually working?

Whether you kicked off 2025 with a full PR game plan or you’re still figuring things out, a mid-quarter check-in can be the game-changer you didn’t know you needed. It’s the sweet spot between launching goals and making the right tweaks before the quarter wraps.
