How is AI changing the spread of information online? Learn about it in our new blog post: themach1group.com/news-opini… #AI #GEO #SEO

As AI evolves and platforms continue to reward speed over substance, media literacy becomes less of an abstract concept and more of a survival skill. In a world built for two-second reactions, the organizations that earn trust will be the ones that meet their audiences where they are, while still delivering information that is credible and clear. #PRTipsandTricks

Our own Alice Claiborne was featured on CBS News Texas, sharing how she accidentally dismissed a life-threatening flash flood warning after mistaking it for another late-night Amber Alert. Her story highlights a growing issue: “notification fatigue.” With so many alerts, critical warnings can get lost in the noise. Alice is advocating for distinct emergency alert sounds so people know instantly when action is needed — because seconds matter. Watch the full interview here: cbsnews.com/texas/news/amber…

Last week, Mach 1 was honored to attend the @PinkGraniteTX Party with a Purpose in recognition of National World Ovarian Cancer Day.

We’re grateful to have been part of such an important cause and inspiring community. #txlege #WOCD2026

When it comes to earned media, impact beats impressions every time. Quantity does not equal effectiveness, and our results aren’t measured by how many headlines we generate, but by how well we reach the right audience. Broad visibility might build awareness, but if it misses your audience, it’s wasted effort. Strategic communications means pairing thoughtful strategy with precise messaging, ensuring every placement counts. #PRTipsandTricks

The Mach 1 Group is proud to be fully women-founded and women-owned, and many of those incredible women are mothers. Happy Mother’s Day to these wonderful ladies and to all the moms out there. #MothersDay

Too early to think about the 90th Texas Legislative Session? Think again. Effective advocacy starts long before Session, and it starts with strong coalitions. Our latest blog breaks down why building relationships now is the foundation for success later. Read it here: ow.ly/fjBL50YRmit #txlege
