You read how I fell in
love with PR and you are asking yourself why you should like PR too? Then, read
this!
Do
you know you practice PR almost everyday?
You think I am kidding
but I am really serious. Each and everyone in this world practice PR without
being aware of it. Wondering how?
Have you ever organised
a party for a friend or a family member? Guess what! This is PR. Event management
is part of PR. We all at least once in our life have to organise an event. No
matter how big or small it can be, it still requires good preparation.
Organising and managing an event requires PR skills.
Have you ever tried to
convince a friend that someone else is a good person? If yes, congratulations,
you practiced PR!
Be a super hero with PR!
When we were kids, we’ve
been wearing capes and we’ve been copying our favourite super heroes. But then
when we grew up, we started believing that super heroes do not exist. You still
think so? I do not and you should not too because PR practitioners are super
heroes!
They can of course not
fly or move objects by just looking at them but they can for sure save people
and organisations. In times of crisis, an organisation shouts for help and the
ones who can help the most are PR practitioners. One of their super powers is
to solve issues and crises in the shortest time period possible and
consequently save the organisation and its employees
PR is not pretentious!
Nobody loves
pretentious people. Good news! PR is not pretentious.
I believe PR is one of
the most important departments of an organisation. PR practitioners do
almost everything and they should know about almost everything. But PR works
behind the scene. PR practitioners work hard to promote an organisation’s image and for other people to be famous.
A PR person writes a
press release and where is it published? In somebody else’s newspaper. A PR
person writes a speech for whom? For somebody else to read it. PR practitioners
organise events for other people to enjoy. A PR person helps somebody else
(spokespersons) to talk in front of journalists and cameras.
Do they say a word
about it? No, they are actually happy with the way PR works. They are happy to
help others attain their goals and develop their skills.
I did not know that PR was present in our everyday life, when i was reading your post, I realized that it is true, it forms part of our daily life. Do post more about PR, it is an interesting topic and i'm sure I will have a lot to learn about it. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading my post and for commenting.
DeleteYeah, that's true, PR is part of our daily life but many people don't know the real definition of PR and some don't even know PR exists (like me before starting the bachelor degree).
Great post Lorna, i think that through your post i finally started to love PR a little bit. You're right when you say that it is present in our daily life. Looking forward to reading more posts from your behalf.

Hey Shonakshee, thank you for reading my post and for commenting. That's a good start, i know so many students who don't love PR, i would say because of some bad experiences but I luckily didn't experience any bad moments in PR.
DeleteI will surely read your blog.
Lona, the way you present PR can make anyone fall in love with that job. I agree with u..it's part of our everyday life without us even realizing it. Thank you for simplifying everything :D
