PR for Anyone

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

The best rule, of course, is to slightly underpromise and overdeliver — in writing. Occasionally we see overconfident executives who feel they aren’t in need of media training. With little reason to believe otherwise, a PR team will sometimes book an interview with a journalist, only to see it go poorly.

We were most impressed when a candidate tracked down press releases for competitors to a client and created a simple SWOT analysis that aided in our pitching.

Also unlike your CEO, we can’t “script” customers or clients for interviews.
