Frause Mavens

When I was younger, I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up. One year I aspired to be a judge, the next, a paleontologist and the next, a firefighter. The thrill was less about the jobs, and more about learning all I could about them. As I went through high school with no career path to call my own, I realized what I loved most was learning. Knowing I couldn’t be a student forever, I sought a new way to parlay learning into a career and found public relations.


Since public relations firms tend to represent a wide variety of clients, I get to learn about trends in many different industries, and share my knowledge and ideas to benefit others. As Malcolm Gladwell describes in his book The Tipping Point, I get to be a maven — an information broker who shares and trades what they know. As an intern at Frause, I am learning about these ever-changing industries from the pros. But who do they learn from? This week, I wanted to showcase the “must read” blogs and publications that the Frause team uses to get their news:

Sustainability: GreenBiz
Restaurants: Eater Seattle
Built Environment: Seattle’s Daily Journal of Commerce
Social Media: Mashable
Local Government: Crosscut
Graphic Design: HOW Design
Real Estate: Curbed Seattle
