Required Skills
Just what basic public relation skills do specialists need to do
a good job for their clients?
The basics include, well, basic communication skills.
Compelling and concise press release, news bulletins, social media content, and
articles are all essential. Communications experts also need to manage time
because time is what moves media. The ‘when’ of deadlines is crucial.
Creativity
What’s a campaign without a creative touch? This is what
makes the news you deliver unique. So, think outside the box about ways to
capture media attention as well as your audience’s attention long enough to
hear what you’ve got to say.
Add flexibility, self-direction, and reliability with your
clients, co-workers and media personnel and you’re off to a good start.
