Citizens Advice Barnet’s Post

Let’s be real: the PR industry can be grueling. Too often, PR agencies promise the moon, only to deliver smoke and mirrors. It’s a nightmare when quantity trumps quality, and junior staff are left to deliver on unrealistic expectations set by those "well-connected" agency leaders. We see it all the time from PR professionals who are fed up with the broken agency model—places where promises about media connections and "exclusive" deals are just that: promises. At By George Communications, we do things differently. We don’t overpromise—we overdeliver. No media mafia, no magic tricks, just honest work that builds trust and results. Here’s what we believe: if we’re transparent about what’s possible—and what isn’t—we protect our clients, our team, and our reputation. Simple as that. If you're tired of the false expectations, let’s chat about how a REAL PR strategy can transform your brand. https://lnkd.in/gQcrHSeY #bygeorgecomms #PRexpert #PR #successstories

Look, before you go and hire a social media person to help with your marketing efforts... There's a few things you need to consider to make sure you're hiring the right one. 1. What EXACTLY are you looking to get out of this position? 2. What are you tasking them to do? 3. Are they actually qualified? Or are they just telling you that they know how to run social media? 4. You might actually be looking for another position but not sure what to call it. For example, if you're looking to get more views and increase your reach, you might actually not be looking for a social media person, you might in fact be looking for a video editor. Not all social media managers understand video and storytelling. Not all social media people understand design and branding. The moral of the story is KNOW what exactly you are looking for. And if you have no idea, Let's jump on a call. Tell me what you think you need and I'll tell you EXACTLY who you need to hire. Here is my calendar. Give me 15 minute and at the end of our convo, you'll know exactly what your next steps will be! https://lnkd.in/gvy4vNcm

🌟 Exciting Developments in Public Relations! 🌟 I recently read an insightful article about the growing importance of digital storytelling in public relations and how brands are using it to create deeper connections with their audiences. With so much information competing for attention, companies that leverage storytelling to convey their mission stand out. As I continue developing my own skills in PR, this article really resonated with me, especially in how it highlights the evolving role of PR professionals as storytellers. Definitely worth a read if you’re interested in communications and marketing! 📖 Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gkPRG8pp

As a PR professional, I'm really struggling with the constant interference from marketing teams who don't understand media or PR but still insist on making excessive changes to article drafts. 🤦♀️ I often work with editors who have put together solid content, but then I’m asked to make multiple changes based on the marketing team's personal beliefs and strategies — even though they don't write the content themselves. They don't seem to grasp the fundamentals of PR, and it's frustrating to watch them make edits that don’t align with best practices or the voice of the article. Has anyone else faced similar issues when collaborating with integrated marketing teams? How do you manage these situations and ensure that the integrity of your PR content is maintained? Would love to hear your thoughts on how to avoid or handle collaborations like this with teams that don’t fully understand media or PR. Let’s share some strategies! #PublicRelations #PRStrategy #IntegratedMarketing #MediaRelations #ContentMarketing #PRChallenges #MarketingVsPR #PRProfessionals #PRCommunity #BrandManagement

A Social Media manager IS NOT the same as a Content Manager. A Content Manager DOES NOT manage your social communities. A Content Manager DOES NOT make your graphics. It's quite discouraging to see listings for creative roles that ask the candidate to operate within several roles. #jobsearch #socialmediamanager #contentmanager #contentstrategy
