Universal Truths of PR

Unfortunately, we can’t have an answer to every question. Some things in this world are just commonly known and have to be accepted as so.  PR is no different.

Here are a five universal truths about PR:

  1. PR never ends: You may think you have completed a task, but your job is never truly done. PR professionals are essentially storytellers for their clients. We are always thinking of innovative ways to express to others why our clients are the best of the best. Along with this, we are constantly looking to build connections in order to share our client’s stories to a greater audience.
  2. You can’t scare easily: We never plan for bad things to happen to us, but that’s life. As PR pros, we pride ourselves on thorough planning and time management. However, crises can never be programmed into our calendars. Because of this, we must prepare our team and our clients to react accordingly to the issue at hand. Panicking will only make matters worse.
  3. First impressions matter: Whether this occurs through face to face interaction, email exchanges, or any other form of contact, the first outreach can tell a lot about a person. Always act professional, and in return, you will be treated as one.
  4. Relationships are important: The more personal your relationships are, the more connected you typically are to that person. Especially with technology being as big as it is now, genuine face to face contact makes a huge impact and can lead to strong, successful relationships with both your clients and the public.
  5. You are worth more than you get credit for: People often times do not understand the value behind a well-written press release, or a brochure that has an eye-catching headline, but don’t let that discourage you. You are keeping your client’s brand alive and increasing its worth as each day passes. Keep up the good work and more opportunities to get noticed will come your way.
