#PRQuote This week, I want you to have an inkling into the thoughts of Integrated Marketing Communications Professionals Every enterpreneur needs to be sure of who his target audience are. You don't just go into business without a clear understanding of your target audience. Also, PR Consultants must have an idea of the target audience, this will help them to communicate appropriately. Don't just say everyone, you need to know the exact "one" that you are communicating with per time.

"PR getting to" a civilian online is nothing to joke about

It happens and has happened many a time in real life.  Ask a larrie. Ask someone from the old Brokeback fandom.  Ask myself who has been stalked and trolled since 2008 in the Jake Gyllenhaal/Austin Nichols fandom.  And ask Decoding Anna from the J2 fandom.  She was bullied off of the internet.  Narnia Dispatches did a 4-part series back in 2016 about the bullying of Decoding Anna and how it had everything to do with the Hollywood closet and a pr team’s heavy handed tactics.   Unfortunately, she disappeared online w/o a trace.

It’s worth repeating and reflecting back on.

Brad and Sienna Pt. 2

Sometimes, rumors are floated by PR teams just to get their clients’ names out there with some “he/she’s out there” cred.  A denial comes through and pffft!  That’s all that’s needed.  It’s called buying some time.

Resume Critique with Heyman Associates' Jamie Wernet

At this Wednesday’s meeting we were lucky enough to have a fantastic resume workshop led by Jamie Wernet of Heyman Associates, and we wanted to share some of her tips with you! 

1. Design is important, but there is no one correct design- Don’t get hung up on alignment, spacing, and fancy designs; what’s more important is the information you have to share.

2.  Have a WHY for everything on your resume- Be sure you can explain why you have included each piece of information you have chosen to list on your resume, know why it’s relevant to the position you are applying for and be sure you can explain this in an interview.

3. Don’t think people will assume things about you from your resume- If you want an employer to know something about you, write it down. Don’t expect them to infer skills based on job descriptions, be explicit.

4. Top skills to have in a PR career: a) global mindset b) creativity c) strategy & tactics and most important 4) interpersonal communication skills

I know these tips helped me to rethink the structure of my resume, hope they help you too!
