How do I define the goals for my PR project?
Start by thinking about what you want to achieve. Do you want more people to know about your brand, or maybe you want to improve your image? Write down clear goals and share them with your PR manager. This helps everyone know what's expected.
What should I look for in a PR manager's past work?
Check their past projects and see if they've worked with similar brands to yours. Look for successful campaigns and see how they measure success. It's like finding clues that show they know how to handle work like yours.
How can I make sure my PR needs are understood?
Explain your brand and what makes it special. Talk about your audience and what's important to them. This way, your PR manager knows exactly what you need and can create a plan that fits.

Think about the main tasks that need to be completed. Maybe it’s getting stories in the news or organizing events. Write these down and agree on them with your PR manager. This keeps the project on track.
What are the best ways to communicate with my PR manager?
Decide on how often you want updates – weekly or bi-weekly meetings might work. Choose a way to chat, like emails or video calls. Clear communication means fewer surprises and smoother projects.
How can I make sure my timeline is realistic?
Discuss the schedule with your PR manager. They can give you an idea of how long tasks take. Make sure there’s some extra time just in case things don’t go as planned. This makes the timeline fair for everyone.
