well, that was an epic FAIL!
3 days after, we still here!
anyway on a not-pshycotic note…
Since i have finished my studies last year, and done my internship, i have been a Public Relations Practitioner at Brand Menu (marketing and advertising company) for just about 6 months and i decided to vent my opinions on a this minute space on the enormous internet.
In one of our first meeting i was asked to define Public Relations, and as a PR graduate i should have answered:
Public Relations
Definition: Using the news or business press to carry positive stories about your company or your products; cultivating a good relationship with local press representatives… http://www.entrepreneur.com/encyclopedia/term/82434.html
but i didn’t, i said:
its better than advertising (true) because its not paid for(true), which in tern makes it better (obviously)because its seen as an article not an advertisement… to which my new boss lady replied: if that is true, i dont have a job…(very awkward pause)
after i died, i sucked it up and tried to show them what PR and how it works well with advertising and marketing… as i was doing practically, what i learned through lots of theory, i realised that i didn’t know squat! and that i should deflate my big head!
what i have learned: don’t speak about stuff you don’t know nothing about…
