Course Overview
INTRODUCTION
Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple embraced PR, and so do Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group and Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft. How about you? In fact, Bill Gates once said, “If I was down to my last dollar, I’d spend it on public relations.” And these business titans are not alone in their fervent faith in PR. Many executives from companies feel the same.
The increasing complexity of today’s world and proliferation of hot and emerging trends have presented challenges for PR practitioners and business executives to stay ahead of the latest trends and learn to communicate effectively and tactfully, and at the right time. Being equipped with PR essential tools and get prepared is all-time important.
