When times get tough, be a goldfish. ✨🐠

Goldfish supposedly have short memories, which is exactly why Ted Lasso tells his players to be one: don’t let one bad moment ruin the next one.

School communications could use a little of that energy.

A rough board meeting. A post that didn’t land. A newsletter mistake. A comment section that went completely off the rails.

Learn from it. Fix what needs fixing. Then move forward. Because one hard moment doesn’t have to define the next one.

Set a timer. Open your website. Prepare to question every “click here” link you’ve ever written. 👀

Website accessibility can feel like a massive undertaking, but you can learn a lot in just 15 minutes.

CEL’s free Website and Digital Content Accessibility Checklist helps you take a quick look at:

✅ Text and readability
✅ Images, alt text and video captions
✅ Navigation and mobile usability
✅ Forms and interactive elements
✅ Important information trapped inside PDFs

It’s not a complete accessibility audit. It is a practical place to start, spot quick improvements and identify what may need a closer look.

Chelsea Janke takes the NSPRA stage on Monday! 🎤✨

Her session, The Impact of AI on Your Digital Content and Online Search (SEO), tackles a question school communicators can’t ignore much longer:

What happens when families stop searching your website and start asking AI?

Chelsea will break down how AI-powered search, chatbots, and recommendation engines are changing which content gets found, why clear structure and plain language matter more than ever, and how schools can stay visible without losing authenticity.

📅 Monday, July 20
⏰ 2:15–3:15 p.m.
📍 Grand Salon 3 & 6

Expect practical strategies, real examples, and zero need to become an SEO robot.

Heading to NSPRA? Add it to your schedule and go cheer her on for us. 🧡💙 https://nspra-communications.secure-platform.com/a/gallery/rounds/129/schedule/items/33876

Happy World PR Day to the people behind the messages, relationships, reputations, and plans (that somehow need to be finished by 3 p.m.).

PR is often reduced to press releases and publicity. But the real work is much bigger.

It’s listening before speaking. Understanding what people need to know. Building trust before it is urgently needed. Helping organizations communicate clearly when the answer is complicated, emotional, or still unfolding.

AI can help us work faster. It cannot replace judgment, empathy, context, or the relationships that make communication credible.

Today, we’re celebrating the people who bring all of that to the work—and who know that good PR is rarely about getting the most attention.

It’s about earning trust.

Is your marketing really the problem?

Your logo is cute. Your ads are running. Your website has tasteful little animations. Meanwhile, the phone has been ringing into the void since Tuesday, the contact form submits directly to Narnia, and three potential customers are still waiting for a reply from someone named “info@.”

And now we’re talking about increasing the ad budget?

Bestie. More leads for whom?

Marketing cannot keep dragging people through the front door just for your customer experience to hit them with a folding chair. We can promise that you’re responsive, welcoming and easy to work with, but eventually someone at the organization has to respond, welcome them and be easy to work with.

We love advertising money. Deeply. Passionately. Perhaps too much. But before we spend another dollar, let’s make sure the current leads are not decomposing in an inbox nobody checks.

Sometimes the problem is not awareness.

Sometimes nobody is answering the phone.

One of our favorite things about accessibility work is watching the lightbulb moments happen.

The moment someone realizes accessibility isn't just compliance. It's communication. It's inclusion.

It's making sure the people who need your information can actually access it.

Chelsea had a great time sharing, learning, and talking accessibility at the Social Media Retreat. Thanks to everyone who joined the conversation. 💙🧡

🌴 TONIGHT ON LOVE ISLAND: CEL EDITION 🌴

Meet our newest bombshells:

🐶 Bella — repping Team Design and serving main-character energy. As the loyal companion of our Design Director Kelly, Bella knows a thing or two about turning heads and creating unforgettable first impressions.

🐶 Rachel — from the Integrated Communications villa, bringing strategy, charm, and just enough mystery to keep everyone guessing. Andrew’s four-legged sidekick is here to make connections.

✨ One arrived ready to nap dramatically.
✨ One arrived with a stick and a plan.
✨ Both are here for the right reasons.

Will Bella’s creative flair steal the spotlight? Will Rachel communicate her way to victory? Or will they couple up for the ultimate CEL collaboration?

Wheeeeere’s Rachel ??? 🔎

We’re at the Social Media Retreat for Schools in Stillwater, rubbing elbows with some of our favorite school communicators, storytellers, and social media pros.

Rachel Skinner and Chelsea Janke are both here soaking up ideas, swapping stories, and enjoying the ✨ immaculate vibes ✨. Shoutout to for curating the kind of event where everyone leaves with a notebook full of ideas and a phone full of new contacts.

If you’re here, come say hi.

Bonus points if you can find Rachel in the photo first. 👀
