They work very closely together (and have to to be successful!), but no... PR and marketing are not the same thing. 🙃

When it comes to media relations, you can throw spaghetti at the wall - or you can take the time to do it right. You don't need a lot of fancy bells & whistles - but you DO need a good story pitched to the right reporter or publication at the right time. And - you need patience.

A friendly reminder. Don’t bother calling TV stations when there’s severe weather on the way. Meteorologists are working hard to keep people informed and safe. I really don’t give a rip how much you love Jeopardy! or any other show for that matter. People’s lives are at stake.

I’ve noticed that a lot of new PR professionals really underestimate the value of local media. Sometimes local stories have MASSIVE impacts for brands.

PR is as much about understanding human psychology as it is about communication. Knowing how and why people think and behave the way they do can be the difference between a good campaign and a great one.

Newsflash: there’s no PR without journalists. - Be respectful in *every* interaction - Never demand anything - Do your research
