While it’s easy to think a public relations campaign involves nothing more than writing and sending a press release or two, there’s a lot to the process. As this behind-the-scenes look at our PR campaign work for the Chesapeake Bay Trust and its new Bay Plate shows, a comprehensive campaign also includes dozens of phone calls, boots-on-the-ground support, and hundreds of carefully-crafted emails with recipient-relevant talking points.
