It's always the brand in the spotlight - we are fine being the background, strategizing, working on messaging and producing. We don't execute as a director does, but we are the wheels behind the creativity. Great post KT! A PR person, to me, is never the leading role. It’s always the brand in the spotlight – we are fine being the background, strategizing, working on messaging and producing. We don’t execute as a director does, but we are the wheels behind the creativity.

Great post KT!

They are very specific and focus extremely well. This was a great analogy related to Katie's original post - thanks for the great points D.

I like the idea of "getting to know the computer nerds" :) There is a lot of behind the scenes stuff in our field! Like you and Emily said, it's the details and the inner workings that really make things happen but don't always get the glory. I'm glad you thought it was a fun analogy! :) Thanks so much for stopping by and adding to the convo!! @goktgo Haha! I like the idea of “getting to know the computer nerds” :)
