Now updated with thoughts from @sparklypinchy.bsky.social and @darrylsparey.bsky.social. Think we've got something fairly useful here - again, unbranded, so whether in-house or agency/consultant, think you might find it useful if you don't already have something similar.

Right, I’m hoping lots more digital PR people make their way over here. To make it as easy as possible, here’s a growing thread of all the digital PR starter packs, lists and feeds. If you make one, or spot that one is missing, let me know and I’ll add it!
