Comment on I Work in PR and My Family Has No Idea What I Do by Zackery M

Last Thanksgiving I was talking about getting my PR degree and the freelance projects I’ve worked on. I thought I did a good job explaining what PR is, but at Christmas I found myself explaining it again. Once I had to explain to my dad it was OK that someone else’s name appeared in the byline for an editorial I wrote.

Now I just tell my family I build relationships with the people that matter to my clients. And sometimes that means I have to take a break from writing so I can go to parties. I hate my job…

What’s worse than my mom and dad not getting it is when someone like an administrative assistant says he or she “does PR.” Sitting at the front desk and answering a phone does not a PR pro make.

Good post! I liked the information you contained in it. I would have never found this site if I did not find it Googling random things!

First of all, I just love this blog and specifically this post! I was just telling a friend about my trials and tribulations in describing PR. Not only do I often get the,” oh, you make billboards?” comment, but people seem to be confused with term ‘communications’ altogether. At a recent networking mixer, I asked someone if they have an internal communications team. His response was, “Our IT guys work out of Houston.” No, no, no! The most succinct way I describe a PR pro is to say that s/he is the conduit between the organization and media.

We have the same problem in the recruiting industry, but it’s pretty easy to explain. My father just told to my grandfather yesterday that “she calls people and gets a check in the mail.” Wow, I wish it was that easy!

I love that this topic gets all the PR people to respond.

I just tell people that I’m a male nurse (see Johnny Dangerously).

PR people have it rough - it’s not easily definable, like say a dentist or fireman.
When asked, I say “I help tech companies tell their story to the world.” Sounds a bit grandiose, but it works.
