The 12 Days of PR

Dec 14, 2012 admin

One of my colleagues likes to say that the euphoria one experiences during a highly successful PR launch, is like being a kid on Christmas morning. There are very few things that make us jump up and down with the same enthusiasm as, say, a child who gets a puppy from Santa. But for public relations professionals, a top-tier media hit that delights a client is one of those things. Launching a successful social media campaign is one of those things. Landing a speaking engagement at a key conference is one of those things. Yet as any elf knows, a whole lot of effort goes in to making the holidays bright. Our office equivalent is the strategic planning that goes in to creating success in the year ahead.

To keep with the Christmas theme while highlighting just some of the things that can go into an amazing plan for clients, I have re-written a traditional holiday song to capture these gifts that keep on giving. I call it The 12 Days of PR. Feel free to sing along:
