Part of effective PR is having strong relationships with key journalists.
This means giving the right journalist the right story at the right time and feeding them a regular supply of useful articles, insight and comment.
If you are an entrepreneur or small business doing your own PR, how do you get started?
Either call or e-mail key journalists in your sector and invite them for a coffee or lunch.
Award-winning Property Editor Anne Ashworth, of The Times, will be meeting PR Superstar’s luxury property client Huntly Hooper later this month after we suggested a 121. We have also arranged media meetings for Huntly Hooper with The Financial Times, The Sunday Times, The Wall Street Journal and The London Evening Standard.
