checking news feeds, reading top stories of the day, monitoring the Web for client mentions, and responding to clients and media.
There are specific things you can do to sharpen your strategic focus, though, so we surveyed our staff at Gregory FCA and came up with seven daily to-dos that help them get breakthrough results for clients:

2. Closely align media outreach with your client’s schedule.
