PR Mantras

Every PR person has a list of phrases they find themselves repeating to every client, day after day. Deborah Schultz and David Parmet share theirs.

My favourites are:

David:

Yes his blog is read by only 2,000 people but it’s probably the 2,000 people you most want to reach.

Deborah:

No, real evangelism, buzz and community cannot be manufactured out of thin air.

I don’t have the energy to write down ten of my oft-repeated phrases, but I’d say that my number one would probably be “I realize that this is your corporate line, but that’s not a story anyone is going to care about.”

Anyone want to share their favourites?
