“PR is extremely important, and being able to use it in the right way means everything. You have to market your success. ~ #Lee Haney, bodybuilder and former Mr. Olympia

The three main elements of Public Relations are practically as old as society: informing people, persuading people, or integrating people with people. Of course, the means and methods of accomplishing these ends have changed as society has changed. – Edward Bernays

Myth: It’s all about being social. Fact: There’s A LOT more to it1 To an outsider, the ‘relationship-building’ that’s always referenced as the key to PR can be envisioned as a typical movie montage of professional life: fancy client dinners and drinks, followed by golfing or boating. While good social skills and the ability to cultivate and maintain clients’ and journalists’ trust do remain at the forefront of PR, many people don’t understand the work – from coordination and written communication to research and measurement – required to establish and maintain productive relationships. Clients won’t put their trust in you just because they like you – you need credibility and concrete results to back you up.
