PR Buzzwords That Should Be Banned

ImPRessions - Crenshaw Communications

As a PR professional and secret Zillow enthusiast, I can appreciate real estate euphemisms. We’ve all seen flowery descriptions describing homes for sale as “cozy” (read: tiny); with a “low-maintenance yard” (probably paved concrete); or “partial water view” (maybe a dried stream bed). A recent tweet about a “Frank Lloyd Wright inspired cabin” made me think about the PR jargon that clutters press releases and business memos.

THE OTHER STRICTLY CURSE

Mark My Words

The Sun. For some of these celebrities, being the first to be kicked off Strictly Come Dancing seriously harmed their careers. PR expert Mark Borkowski reckons it is all down to the shame of being first out on TV’s biggest show — a subject none of the agents of First Week Losers I approached wanted their clients to discuss.
