UNDERSTANDING PR IS KEY TO DOING IT WELL (AND GETTING RESULTS FOR YOUR BUSINESS)
PR is a weapon, but only if you understand how to harness its power for the benefit of your business (or cause or issue if that's your end game).
In this episode, we get down to tin-tacks, unpacking the concept of public relations, busting myths, and discussing what PR really is (versus what the majority of the business world thinks it is), plus why it's important for entrepreneurs to understand the crucial role it plays in building their brand and their business.
Having a practical understanding of PR will give you an edge in the marketplace. Many (most?) people in business - even those in marketing! - have little understanding of what constitutes PR today; they simply don't recognise or appreciate with any great depth the key role it plays in helping to build and sustain a successful enterprise.
Bottom line: You can't master PR until you understand its nuances, the role it plays in the marketing mix, as well as the value it brings to the table in a more holistic business sense.
Become one of the 1% of entrepreneurs who 'get' PR and thus are able to harness it in a powerful and strategic way for their business!
What you'll learn:
The true definition of PR (and why most of what you've heard is wrong)Why reputation and relationships are the keys to long-term business successHow to sustainably grow your audience and become your own PR machineBusting persistent PR myths and misconceptionsActionable tactics to build bridges and amplify positive word of mouth
Whether you're a solopreneur, small business, or just keen to get your story out there, tune in to understand how PR can fuel your growth - minus the spin!
