What the press is saying..
“Unfortunately, a lot of what passes for public relations is lacking because it’s ineffective, irrelevant, and intangible. Negative (or alternatively, overly romanticized) public perception of the industry is fueled by pop culture portrayals that are completely unrepresentative of what real PR work entails,” writes New York counselor Ronn Torossian in his forthcoming book “For Immediate Release: Shape Minds, Build Brands and Deliver Results with Game Changing Results.”
Ronn Torossian promises to reveal the “power that modern PR has to help brands innovate, market, and message well.” His goal is to demonstrate that PR is for everyone.
In his recently published book, PR guru Ronn Torossian highlights Chabad.org as a public relations model for organizations and websites.
