Why traditional PR folks rule

The PR game feels like it changes faster than light. New platforms pop up every other day, and everyone’s chasing the next big marketing trend. But before you write off us old-school PR folks as relics from the fax machine era, hear me out.

We may not be social media ninjas (though hey, some of us are!), but we bring a different kind of magic to the table. Here’s why experience makes us communication powerhouses:

We’ve seen it all – B2B, B2C, crisis mode, you name it. We’ve been there, done that, and got the t-shirt (probably with a slightly outdated slogan). This means we can adapt our approach to anything you throw our way. Think of us as communication chameleons – masters of blending into any situation.

Relationships matter, not just retweets – we didn’t build our careers on follower counts. We built them on trust and respect with journalists. Years of nurturing those relationships mean we can actually get you placements in publications that people read, not just some random blog with a dubious domain name.

We speak geek (and English) – remember the days of writing white papers that people actually devoured? We do. That experience translates to making complex topics understandable, which is a superpower in a world saturated with information.

Your CEO’s secret weapon – we’ve prepped CEOs for interviews that could make or break their careers. We know how to anticipate questions, refine messages, and deliver them with confidence. Basically, we’re your client’s media sherpa, guiding them through the interview jungle with a clear path to success.

We’ve got the receipts – we’ve been around the PR block a few times. We’ve seen trends come and go, fads fizzle out, and what truly works stand the test of time. This historical knowledge helps us navigate the ever-changing landscape and keep your PR strategy future-proof.

In short, a traditional PR person brings experience, relationships, communication mastery, media training expertise, and historical knowledge to the table. They’re the steady hand that guides your PR through fads and builds a strong foundation for success, especially when combined with the digital fluency of the new generation. Together, you’ve got a PR dream team.
