Letter to Cousin

Hey, Todd!

You recently just sent me an email asking what exactly a public relations professional does as a career. I know that grandma asks me if I want to change my major at every family reunion, but little does she know how valuable PR people really are. Public relations is all about information transfer, whether that be finding out how people perceive a company, the company sending out new information on its new product, research on a topic relating to both sides, or even event planning! As the BLS' Occupational Handbook states, public relations professionals build and maintain positive relationships with the public. The entry they have listed explains many facets of the work very clearly. You might want to check it out! Here is the link.

Most organizations, whether they be businesses, non-profit organizations, government entities, or other consumer-related entities, have PR professionals working with them, though their titles may differ from industry to industry.

We do a lot of press releases, and often work in busy offices with busy schedules.

If you have any more questions, feel free to give me a call! If your schedule allows time this week, I'd love to sit down to some lunch with you. Let me know.

Thanks,

Lauren
