India PR: Small Steps Make Wonder
 It is very important for any industry to maintain proper employer- employee relationship, because after all success cannot be achieved single handedly, it is a team work, and a team not only constitutes of seniors but also of juniors and new joiners.But, the problem lies here, the new joiners are not really happy with the way they are treated in their new organizations, specially the PR agencies. An agency is a small organization, where a limited number of employees work in a close knit network and with the time tend to become a family. This is the thing that a new employee wants from the elder ones; they wish to be equally accepted in the family. So here are some small suggestions for both the groups – For the Agency -
For the Employee –
These are some small suggestions that we are sharing from the bouquet of our experience and some of the colleagues of the industry. These are really small steps and hardly take any effort, but trust me they work wonders. Cheers! Team Renaissance PR " Nurturing Relations" |

India PR: Client Servicing
 The PR industry is a very closely woven web, where everything is got to be correct, which means to the consent of the clients. As far as you keep on saying what they want you to say, they are happy but no sooner than you begin making them understand your point of view than they start penalizing you. Almost all PR folks share the similar problem of clients who don't listen to their advice. There are times when you fail to make them understand your point of view even if it is correct, they want you to do only that which they find correct and would like to do. We, at Renaissance PR have some different thought and process regarding this issue. Not every client is problematic; they do understand your point of view if you are capable enough to make them understand what the trend of industry is, how shall the news go about, the media habits and all other problems that come in our way. There are times when people become stubborn but it is this moment when we need to understand their thought process and make sure that the relationship becomes double sided so that each one can understand each others point of view thereby getting extraordinary work done in a little simple manner. Thus this is the piece of advice that we would like to share with all our PR friends from our bouquet of experience- that they all need to learn how to tackle the expectations of clients without being hyper because they are not aware of the industry but we are and it is our responsibility to make them aware of it.

India PR: Manoj Tiwari and his PR strategy...
 Picture: Viral Bhayani The famous bhojpuri singer cum actor Mr. Manoj Tiwari possesses excellent PR skills, that is what we thought when we got to hear the news of his photograph being issued on the stamp of Holland. Amazing isn't it but of course hard to believe. India has some brilliant and extraordinary personalities, almost in all fields. Even if we just consider the arena of showbiz, we have the superstar of the millennium – Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. We have an outstanding actress, who has not only been acknowledged in India but also in Hollywood – Mrs. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and various other superb examples to prove that howsoever famous this man becomes, but cannot ever match or compete with the extravaganza of Mr. Bachchan, and that's where the needle of doubt stroke. The Times of India was the newspaper, which carried the news of Manoj Tiwari being so much extraordinarily famous but then again it was the same prestigious and trusted newspaper which revealed the falsity of the news, proving it just a publicity stunt. It is indeed creditable for the most trusted name to prove the truth and bring to us the originality of Tiwari, by speaking to the authority of Holland, who thereby denied the news of having issued any such stamp. This is what I wanted to share with all my friends and readers, which PR is not about gaining publicity by providing wrong information and misleading the media. We must remember that it is the media which is responsible for enlightening the masses by making available all true and hidden facts. Hats off to our media who not just blindly believed what was said, but tried to find out the truth and present it before us.
