  1. So, that is a broad, philosophical description of what a public relations agency does, at a broadest level. Now let's talk about what a public relations specialist actually does in the practical world. A public relations specialist is responsible for gathering and disseminating information, and responding to any requests. They also work to keep any public figures who are in the public eye in good standing with the various news agencies and other media groups. Public figures can include politicians, athletes, talk show hosts, etc. Usually, a public relations specialist manages or oversees the PR campaigns of these public figures. A third aspect of public relation that's not as philosophical is the work of the agency when it is requested to perform investigative work on a newspaper or magazine. This type of newsgathering can sometimes be called "behind-the scenes" work. This type of media coverage sometimes requires the services of a PR firm because the reporters and other media personalities don't want to be bothered with all the public relations and press releases. In this case, the agency would handle all of the PR work, making sure that the story is well-kept, the facts are accurate, and that the target audience receives the correct message. A public relations agency will sometimes be called upon to defend a particular company, politician, athlete or celebrity against an attack advertisement or defamation suit. The company's reputation will be at risk in this instance, so the public relations agency must do all it can to protect it before the court of opinion. Sometimes media personalities are in trouble, particularly if they respond negatively to negative news stories. This is true for musicians, band members, sports players, and businesspeople. Public relations agencies may be asked to represent a public figure accused of sexual harassment, or any other crime. In this situation, the PR firm may have to create a number of social media strategies and public statements in defense of the person. The firm may also have to make available certain information about the situation, perhaps compiling a list of sexual harassing incidents that have come up in recent weeks, months or days. These statements can be posted on social media and in press releases. Another type of public relations function that many PR agencies perform is that of media liaison, meaning that they work with other entities such as newspapers, radio stations and television stations to get news out about a specific company, organization or person. This may include writing press releases, creating personalized correspondences, submitting news releases to different press release services and working with them to distribute the news. An PR firm might be able to post news about new products or services on the shelves of stores at the exact same time it goes public. Such a liaison also works with celebrities, ensuring that their reputations are maintained in the public eye. Public relations agencies often write articles for magazines and newspapers that are publicized. They are usually written by independent writers contracted by a professional agency. The agency writes articles that are specifically geared toward that product, and they then place them online at various article directories. A PR agency can increase website traffic by placing informative articles on the internet if they are placed in the right context. An experienced PR company will know how to find keywords that can be used to attract attention to products. When it comes to social media, there are not many sammis ochoa public relations agency limits to what can be written and published about a business or organization. For instance, a public relations firm can go onto Facebook, Twitter, MySpace or LinkedIn and write press releases or commentaries about the company or brand.

  2. Blogs are the same. An PR company can create blogs relevant to the business, and post links to their website or Facebook pages whenever it is interesting. This allows you to market your brand, and keeps the public updated about new trends and events.
