Public relations is about more than press relations; I have to say that I hate it when people think that PR is about having articles published.

'The profession or practice of creating and maintaining goodwill of an organization's various publics (customers, employees, investors, suppliers, etc.), usually through publicity and other nonpaid forms of communication. These efforts may also include support of arts, charitable causes, education, sporting events, and other civic engagements.'

I chat today about what I am learning from the Girls Day School Trust in the UK about pivoting, communication and being aligned to their "so that."

"So that" was shared by Paul Dunn who is the Chairman of the B1G1 (Buy1GIVE1) is a global giving business movement that helps businesses give back easily in meaningful ways. Since 2007, B1G1 has worked with more than 2,000 businesses from all industries around the world, creating over 130 million giving impacts.

As I walked downtown in Bath today I surveyed the banks and shops, then took a look at their websites when I got home. Listen to my review of their high street and net street personalities and what it says about their "so that" motives.

As we keep saying, those with a COVID strategy will survive. See my slideshare on the need for pr to be Compassionate, Optimistic, Values Based, Informative and Digital. See here

Finally - how is a tech newspaper in Vietnam putting big companies to shame when it comes to helping its vulnerable readers? With over 2m visually impaired in the UK and  285 million people visually impaired worldwide (about the same as the population of the USA), how is your company showing it cares for employees and customers who are vulnerable at this time? Doing so now will build lasting loyalty.

Am I adding value to you?

If so - I'd like to ask you to support the show.

In return, I will continue to bring massive value with two weekly shows, up to 3 hours per month of brilliant conversations and insights.

Monthly subscriptions start at $3 per month. At $1 per hour, that's much less than the minimum wage, but we'll take what we can at this stage of the business.

Of course, this is still free, but as an entrepreneur, the actual test of anything is if people are willing to pay for it.

If I'm adding value to you, please support me by clicking the link now.

Go ahead, make my day :)
