PR is the scientist in the room … your reaction when you’re caught off guard might make or break a story
Quick recap: Data firm Astronomer’s CEO, Andy Byron and Chief People Officer (HR director), Kristin Cabot, were caught during a kiss-cam sweep at a concert. Their duck-and-run response sparked uh-ohs and lots of speculation.
Their reaction sparked the hot takes that led to a PR issue. Had they stayed chill and not reacted to their images on the screen, the public might not know the name Astronomer-the-company any better than it did last week. Photo credit: Coldplay
