Pitfall
Some 88% of PR professionals say strategic planning will be one of the most important skills for success in the next five years, followed by media relations (77%) and social media (72%).
Bug Fire
Myth: PR success is based totally on chance. Fact: While there’s an element of unpredictability to PR, success is really based on strategy. Another common take on PR is that not much planning goes into it – that PR pros just push press releases or spray their message indiscriminately to the media, hoping for an easy hit. This couldn’t be further from the truth. PR is all about timing and strategy. Most successful PR professionals are news junkies, which is helpful because a huge and essential par of the job is staying up-to-date on current events, trends, and breaking news. If anything relevant to your client is going on in the media, you need to act quickly and approach clients with a plan of action for leveraging the opportunity before someone else beats you to the punch. While it may look like certain articles or announcements get published just because the topic is inherently interesting, PR teams work hard on behalf of their clients to cultivate relationships with reporters and prove that certain stories are relevant and worth printing.
