The Modern Publicist…

Thoughts to consider when hiring a Publicist…

Not too many years ago a publicist was someone responsible for getting their client’s featured on television, in the newspaper or on the radio.   Today, we know the role of the modern public relations representative has drastically changed.

If you are tasked with the publicity of a product, place, person or company you most likely have a pretty stressful job. The reason is that the traditional role has transitioned into one that resembles a jack of all trades. The traditional mediums mentioned above have morphed to include traditional PR and a number of additional marketing strategies, like online and social media strategies, crisis communications strategies, branding, and video production. It is easy to see the modern PR Rep must master these areas and also have a creative streak.

As a chef must mix together different ingredients to create amazing courses, a construction company must use many different tools and materials to build a house and a doctor has many different options when it comes to prescribing treatment to patients.  In the same sense, the modern day publicist must use a host of available resources to do their job with an artistic approach while producing scientific results.

In today’s world, the role of a publicist is as essential as that of a lawyer or an account.  As a professional services company, our goal is to assist in formulating multiple communication strategies through multiple medium, thus leading you to a return on investment.

With budgets getting tighter, publicists need to take a scientific approach in managing all aspects of the process.  Performance tracking at every level is a necessity and routinely re-evaluating analytics and campaign performance. One must intentionally measure in order to effectively manage. Focus on operations and flawless execution, within budget, is at the top of most clients priority list.
