For Immediate Release
Ronn Torossian’s book ‘For Immediate Release’ offers several nuggets of PR and crisis management wisdom throughout. Here are a few important takeaways from his best-selling book
- Information is power. PR doesn’t always equate to spilling all the beans.
- Protect yourself. In case a crisis arises, always have a PR representative on standby.
- Always exceed expectations by under-promising and over-delivering. This builds trust and loyalty.
- Remain consistent. Ensure every piece of communication you choose to share aligns with your brand.
- Lead by example.
- Hire teammates who represent your company. Contrary to common opinion, the CEO of a company isn’t the only person who determines how an organization is perceived by the public. An image is defined and a brand is cultivated by its employees.
- Constantly engage with clients. When customers feel heard by a brand, they become more attached to it. This will easily result in increased positive PR for your brand.
- Utilize your strengths instead of trying to catch up with your competitor.
- Attention is a valuable currency in crisis management and PR. Capturing the right attention has to be done consistently and strategically.
- Always be prepared for anything.
- Share information deliberately and with strategic placement.
- Remain true to yourself. Staying authentic can sometimes mean saying no to even the most lucrative opportunities when they don’t align with your brand and its core mission and values.
