Each year, Communiqué PR hosts a visit from Professor Fearn-Banks’ Communication 444 Public Relations and Society class. It is a very fun time for us as we get to talk to the next generation of PR professionals about the work we do.
This year, six students visited our boutique PR firm. We focused our discussion on the history of the firm, the difference between a large firm and a boutique agency, and provided them with tips on how to find their first internship and job in public relations.
We applaud professor Fearn-Banks for incorporating office visits into her curriculum as we believe they’re really helpful to students as they work to gain insight into what they should expect should they decide to pursue a career in public relations.
We also are big fans of Kathleen Fearn-Banks’ book on crisis communications. Crisis Communications: A Casebook Approach is a good read for the PR professional wishing to stay current on best practices in this area.
