Reflection

OK so I thought I might reflect on this course with the 10Min's free time I have.
While I feel in myself I haven't kept up with my usual standards of work, I really need to work on time management that is for sure.
I have grasped a great deal from this course, while at first I was in love with the idea of PR I'm looking at it with much more reality and thankfully still with interest.
Some important points I will take away with me are:
Research is everything.
Budgets are crucial.
Any type of partnership or sponsorship must be done with open communication, similar goals and target markets.
Adjust the writing for the audience.
Plan, plan and plan some more!
Know your surroundings and understand the people you are working with and those you want to.
To me Public Relations is much more of a job then some fancy celebrity like career it is portrayed as. It certainly has its aspects of 'spin doctoring' but if you follow your ethics and gut instinct then your credibility won't be lost.
Like any career in the marketing and advertising industry you have to prove yourself, I feel this course has given us the basics to be able to start attempting work experience, etc.
But for now, it's time to start, what else in PR, but a plan!
