Embrace the spring PR frenzy
Spring has (almost) sprung here in Australia, and in our amazingly-wild PR world, this signals the onset of a whirlwind season filled with boundless opportunities for brands, media and content creators.
As the temperature heats up, flowers bloom and the air becomes abuzz with excitement, it’s time we all start preparing for the most exhilarating and action-packed time of the year for PR. Spring!
There’s a lot coming up over the next few months, and it can be overwhelming to say the least. With all the events, editorial themes, new product launches and everything in-between, it’s natural to find yourself unsure of where to begin or where to direct your focus. As much as we’d all love to say ‘yes’ to everything, unfortunately that’s (in most cases) unrealistic. While embracing every opportunity is a tempting thought, this approach might not always align with reality.
Consider this your definitive guide to not only surviving but truly conquering the upcoming spring PR season in the APAC region.
