Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits?

The benefits of having a strategic public relations plan include:

* A solid blueprint to proactively guide and build external communications for your business.
* Specific tools aligned with business goals.
* Proven strategies to elevate business leaders, products, and brands.

People often refer to public relations as a "dying industry." It is anything but and is an increasingly critical component of a comprehensive and integrated communications plan. Public relations is what elevates leadership profiles. Public relations is your company's narrative, the story of you, your brand, and your product(s). It is what builds public trust in good times and restores it in times of crisis.

"If I was down to my last dollar, I would spend it on public relations." ~Bill Gates

What can I do in a day(s)?

In a day, I can meet with you to discuss your business and your communications goals and then take that input and create a comprehensive 6-12 month strategic public relations plan including target audience, tactics, pitch ideas, media list, press release template, and additional considerations.

How does the process work?

Book Your Day
Reserve your day with a $1,000 deposit ("Book Now" button). Choose a day when you will be available for an input session in the morning and able to respond to questions via text or Voxer throughout the day.

If you have questions, please email me first so we can schedule a free 30-minute consultation before booking your day.

Complete Your Pre-Work
After you book your day, you will receive a questionnaire to complete to help me learn more about your business and communications goals. We will review this information during our input session to ensure we are on the same page before I begin work.

Attend Your Input Session
The morning of your VIP Day, we will meet for one hour via Zoom to go over the information you provided in the questionnaire. This is an opportunity for me to learn more about what you do and what role public relations has historically played in your communications strategy as well as any challenges your business has faced or anticipates facing in the future.

Leave The Work To Me
Following our conversation, I will roll up my sleeves and get to work on your plan and press release. I may reach out to you via text or Voxer with follow-up questions; your timely response will be an important part of the process.

Delivery
Within 24 hours of our input session, I will email you your plan and press release documents.
