WHY WAIT ? | TEN PR SKILLS OF TOMORROW THAT ARE NEEDED TODAY | 1. Strong Journalistic Writing + Storytelling – We must always be able to tell a strong story with all of the relevant information beyond the what, when, who and where. Craft an engaging and relevant story. comet marketing + public relations evolved

Strong Journalistic Writing + Storytelling – We must always be able to tell a strong story with all of the relevant information beyond the what, when, who and where. Craft an engaging and relevant story. 2. Relationship Development – PR is so much more than press releases, media relations and pitching. We need to be able to develop relationships on multiple levels of an organization, with the media/bloggers, with customers, the social community and with people who have opposing views. comet marketing + public relations evolved

We need to be able to develop relationships on multiple levels of an organization, with the media/bloggers, with customers, the social community and with people who have opposing views. 3. Business Acumen – Access to C-Suite level discussions and decision making is only possible if we can offer well-rounded and strategic business recommendations. This ability can only come from experience and practical knowledge. We need to be able to look at a business and help figure out what it needs to grow business and sales through PR/communications/social media. comet marketing + public relations evolved

WHY WAIT ? | TEN PR SKILLS OF TOMORROW THAT ARE NEEDED TODAY | 4. Curiosity + Restlessness – Within every industry, there are people who are constantly curious and restless about what they do. They lead the pack. These people are always keeping tabs on new developments and trying to find new ways to do things. The moment we become comfortable and satisfied with the current state of things, that’s the exact moment to be concerned. We, the PR industry, should always be thinking about what comes next and evolving what we do. comet marketing + public relations evolved

The moment we become comfortable and satisfied with the current state of things, that’s the exact moment to be concerned. We, the PR industry, should always be thinking about what comes next and evolving what we do. 5. Programming + Design – We all need an understanding of web programming so we can communicate with programmers to get what we need to build a Web site and contribute/edit and customize content. It would be ideal to know some coding ourselves, but a lot can be said about having someone who is truly skilled take the lead. As blog platforms continue to evolve and become easier to use, we still need to have an understanding to communicate changes or the ability to make tweaks and changes on our own. comet marketing + public relations evolved

WHY WAIT ? | TEN PR SKILLS OF TOMORROW THAT ARE NEEDED TODAY | 6. Working knowledge of social media distribution platforms – For all of the great elements of social media, one drawback is that the social web has many disparate gathering places. Applications for social media publishing continue to evolve and distribution platforms like Shoutlet are coming to the forefront to help communications pros distribute content across many channels (email, Twitter, Facebook, widgets, etc.) simultaneously. comet marketing + public relations evolved

Applications for social media publishing continue to evolve and distribution platforms like Shoutlet are coming to the forefront to help communications pros distribute content across many channels (email, Twitter, Facebook, widgets, etc.) simultaneously. 7. Video creative direction, writing + production – The social web is fueled by engaging and relevant content. One of the most attractive forms of that content is video. The caveat within this element that is interesting is that video for the social web needs to be very good, but it does not have to be great. Frankly, the slicker the video looks the less authentic it feels and the less accepted it will be in the social web. Because of this, we don’t need to be super-duper Grade-A class video producers, but we need to be pretty good. comet marketing + public relations evolved

WHY WAIT ? | TEN PR SKILLS OF TOMORROW THAT ARE NEEDED TODAY | 8. Community gardening – Many people refer to this as community management, but a friend of mine recently shared with me that he doesn’t think we can fully “manage” a community. I liked what he had to say. If you think about it, the masses probably don’t want to be managed. In this, a PR pro needs to be able to help grow a community and foster activity and conversation within it. comet marketing + public relations evolved

In this, a PR pro needs to be able to help grow a community and foster activity and conversation within it. 9. Walking the talk – There are many lessons that can only be learned within the art of social public relations by doing it for yourself. There is no better teacher than personal experience. If we aren’t out there writing blogs, doing podcast/ videocasts and growing a community for ourselves or our own agencies/ companies, all we can do is talk. And how far will that get us? If we are doing all of these things, we are learning every day and those learnings can then be used to drive strategy for our clients and others. comet marketing + public relations evolved

Proving Return on Investment – This is an area that I will leave for Sara Meaney to handle as the Left Brain of Comet Branding. Although I’m not fully a numbers person, I do understand and value how important they are. If we can’t prove to our clients that the programs we are running for them are worth it, then it’s not worth a heck of a lot. We have to show proof, proof and more proof. comet marketing + public relations evolved
