Build your public relations strategy with these tools

Use public relations to support your business goals and help boost awareness of your brand

Public relations (PR) can be an excellent way to increase the credibility of yourself and your firm among clients, prospects and community. It's about building relationships with the people who can provide third-party credibility.

What's more, these advisors know how to position their message so that readers care about their point of view on any number of topics.

  • Craft compelling story ideas and a message map
  • Understand best practices for pitches, news releases, media alerts, and bylines
