- [Deirdre] In the noisy and media-saturated world that we live in today, it's more important than ever to communicate with your customers and other stakeholders to help them understand your story. Public relations is one of the best ways to get recognized, build loyalty, and encourage advocacy, and that's what this course is all about. I'm Deirdre Breakenridge and I've been teaching, consulting, and writing about public relations for over 25 years. I've worked with companies all around the world to help them incorporate digital and social media into their PR and communications approach in a meaningful way.
In this course, I want to share with you the fundamentals of public relations. We'll look at the elements of a PR plan, building relationships beyond traditional media, reputation management, planning for and navigating crisis, and measuring PR outcomes. PR isn't all about news releases or spinning your stories. It's about planning strategically and building solid relationships to help increase credibility, trust, brand health, customer satisfaction, and so much more.
