Grow Your Company with PR
In 2005 I consulted for a start-up that was owned by an entrepreneur who had a public relations back ground. I learned the value of good Public Relations (PR) and since then I have always consider it the next best form of advertising. I believe the best form of advertising is word of mouth.
PR if done correctly can be a game changer for an organization. PR can also backfire if not taken seriously and can have a negative impact on your image with prospects, customers and your industry. I recently read a blog post on bNet that outlined the 10 Breakthrough PR Techniques from a Master. The interview with Lou Hoffman, President and CEO of Hoffman Agency, provides an excellent set of techniques and examples of how to use PR to maximize its effectiveness.
