Learning, stories, insite, practical information - even entertainment!
The official last weekend of summer makes me sad but also glad. I’m sad that summer is over, but glad for all the fall's new beginnings.
Whether in the mountains, at the lake, in a prairie
campground, on an ocean beach, or relaxing in your backyard, this is for you. I’ve
selected the top Brandit Blogs from the past year for your reading pleasure.
Deep Seated Love
I write and speak about branding, marketing and communications
because I love helping people! In fact, I can truly say helping others is a
major reason I get up in the morning. Another would be breakfast, but that’s
another story.
My annual ‘Best of Post’ links to the most popular articles
I’ve written this past year. Posts are chosen based on readership analytics, timeliness,
and reader comments.

Top 10 Posts
Below are the most-read Brandit posts of 2023-2024 for
you to enjoy once again. While reader numbers are gratifying, I love the
personal conversations they bring through telephone calls, emails, or comments
below the post.
I also receive personal comments during business meetings and social occasions,
which is cool. The conversation usually gravitates to how to blog and analytics
in particular.
Top 5 Countries
I love skimming through the analytics reports after
each post. I can see who opened each email and who didn't. Blogger provides
deeper analysis, such as the geographic regions where readers live.
After I publish an article, I wait a week to review the
numbers as not all people read their posts on the day it is published. Since
launching the Brandit With Robyn in 2014, 277,205 have viewed my posts.

Storm Warning! RAT Rain May be in the Forecast
I wrote this post on a whim the day the Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup. It immediately attracted many readers. As an avid hockey fan, I was surprised so many did not know the origins of the rat legend. Fans throw plastic rats on the ice after Panther wins! However, if you’re a fan of rats, do not read this.
Look Good, Sound Good, and Be Good on Video Calls!
COVID forced people to communicate virtually. We saw those who talked too fast, too slow, or froze and didn’t talk at all! The speaker was rattled!
Gestures were frenetic. Or, they stared wistfully at
some distant planet that was not aligned with the camera.
The coup de grâce came as the speaker reached for a
glass of water and promptly spilled it. While the spill happened off-camera,
the sound of the speaker's shrieking curses startled the audience. The lasting
image of them frantically leaping up to shake the water off their notes and half-eaten
sandwich was chilling.

Why a Media Release
Last week, a senior executive of a major not-for-profit organization approached me about media release strategies. My coaching worked and produced a TV interview!

new product announcements, or other big ideas!

the attention of newspaper or magazine editors, TV assignment editors or talk
radio producers or program hosts.
