Putting the Relations Back in PR

Richard Laermer published listicles before they were cool.

Not only was his Bad Pitch Blog among the first PR focused blogs in existence, it has pulled off the feat of actually staying relevant in our latest digital era of podcasts and virtual reality.

As far as Richard is concerned, getting your story noticed is all about connecting with other humans without the filters.


Topics include:

  • New trends in the PR world (and why they don’t work).
  • How to making meaningful (and mutually beneficial) connections without the BS.
  • How to go to the emotional core of a subject
