How to Pick the Right PR Firm for Your Company

You’ve decided it’s time to launch your PR campaign.  You’re ready to move forward.  Now you need to figure out who your public relations partner in this journey is going to be.  Believe me, it is a journey (and can be a great one) and in the best of cases the PR company that you choose is going to be functioning as a trusted partner, at least in this one arena.  But how do you pick a firm that fits your particular needs?

The first mistake that you want to avoid is to only consider companies that specialize in your field.  You definitely want to consider them in the mix, but what you’re primarily looking for is a firm that knows PR, that knows how to develop and place stories in the media, if they’re good, they can use their expertise and know-how and apply that to any field.  Remember, PR is a communication business, for it to truly work, you need to be able to comfortably communicate with them and they need to expertly craft your message and communicate that to the media.  The following are a few topics to consider and questions to ask, when interviewing a PR firm.

Questions to ask your potential PR firm:

1)  How long have they been in business and which media outlets have they placed stories in?

2) How they would define a successful campaign.  Get a sense of their mindset and how they view the process.  Discuss how you would define success and see if there is a common thread.

3) How do they work when it comes to developing story ideas?  Are they looking for you to do all of the work?  Are they asking you for the story ideas and then simply turning those into pitches or are they a firm that will work with you to develop creative and unique pitch ideas?

4) What do they see as your campaign’s greatest potential strengths?

5) What do they think will be the greatest challenges?  All campaigns offer challenges.  You want to make sure that the firm you pick sees them, has an approach to deal with them.  You also want to make sure that this is not a firm that is going to tell you that it will be easy, a slam dunk.  You want a contrasted confidant who will work with you, not a cheerleader that avoids the real issues.

6)  Why do they want to work with you and why do they think it would be a good fit?  Find out why they’d be excited to work with you.  You need to know that they are excited by the PR campaign and why.

These are just some questions to ask. I’m sure you’ll have others.  Also keep in mind if it feels like a good fit.  You need to be able to communicate with you representatives.  You also need trusted advisors who will tell you when they feel you’re steering off base or making a wrong move.  If you pick wisely, this could be the start of a successful and profitable relationship.

Standard Notation for The Guitar 0

Posted on February 27, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

Guitar tablature is fine, as long as we have music written that way. But if we want to read from “ordinary” scores or want to understand the rhythmic values of the notes, we have to learn how to read standard notation. This will be very important if we want to arrange our own guitar music. And we also have to understand a little bit of music theory: how scales are made and formed. We’ll also master the advanced technique of playing more than one melody part at the same time an integral part of classical guitar technique.

“Standard music notation” is more common. Believe it or not, notation is not hard to learn,and once mastered it will speed your learning of new music. Any system that has survived for centuries and is used to record all types of music must be a valuable one to learn!

music is written in standard notation for the guitar. We learn about the musical staff and how it differs from the one used for tablature. We see how notes are written on the staff and also above and below it, and we relate this to rising and falling pitch.Tones and half tones are discussed and related to the frets of the guitar. Then we put theory into practice and start actually playing from notation, with easy examples of notes on each string.
