Disclaimer: All the experiences mentioned in this E-mail are real and do hold all resemblance to us the PR team at ADIT. image courtesy: http://google.com. Our googler Ms. B did not find it difficult to find that particular contact reflected in the image. But the rest were a challenge and we still are in search:) The author bears no responsibility for the mental harassment, boredom and sleepiness caused to the readers after reading this post.
Being a PR[Public Relations] Member, let me start with some things that bothered me about rest of the PRs I dealt with in the past couple of days.
Mr. A [Our head], comes up with plans, ideas, flashes of thoughts poured into my brain and the job of expanding, structuring them and implementing them - left to me:)
Starting with a list of chief guests. Call him, Call her; No he can't be called - Z Security! Oh Oh.. Naaa - no politicians allowed; She would be good - great vision you see...and blah blah blah the list goes on and on and on. . .
Now writing invitations to such high-profile people has become a routine for us the PRs. But googling their details out is the biggest issue. Information and profile details are available from everywhere; but E-mail ids? Naaaaah! Imagine this:
You look for an entire google page on some personality; all possible searches relating the same are being made. Look at the figure below:
And finally, after going through some 357 pages, we do not seem to find any E-mail id but all absurd information and little useful. What is so peculiar about these people? I mean you know you're a well-known public figure? What's wrong in keeping an E-mail id for the public and let it be managed by a PR, who can take care of the necessary things. phhheeeeewww...! You can always hire us for the same you see :)
Another thing:
Send an E-mail to so many organizations, companies, people, et al. And you keep waiting for one, two, three, four days just like that. . . . . . . . Tick Tick Tick and the inbox shows no update from their side.
I think we as PRs of SPECTRUM'10 are doing a better job; responding and reverting back to each and every E-mail. If not interested, or the reply is to be left pending for a while, atleast specify that in the response, mentioning your disinterest or the duration of delay. . . !
And anyone reading this blog feels that we can make Good PRs; please brief us about the job details on spectrum10@adit.ac.in
We would willingly join you..:) *
*terms and conditions apply, the decision of which is left to two of our great imaginers - Mr. A and Mr. M
Kindly do not send criticisms of the said post on the above E-mail. You can always put in comments for such non-sense frustration we go through each new day. Suggestions/Opinions/Feedback/Similar Experiences are always and most welcomed.
So that's all for time being. This is PR signing off for today.
