All about PR = Public Relations

I would think that if you've had studied regular PR it it'll be easier to get a job in the future?

Fashion PR is more to my interest, and I think I would do a good job, but I'm just trying to think smart.

Do you think it is hard to get ahead in PR/Publicity without a degree? (degree in progress)

Idk?

Hey. Sorry for bumping this thread up again, but I have a question.

Something exciting has begun to take place in my life. My friend and I have decided to start our own fashion Public Relations company together. We're both very excited and want to start in the next few years.
Just a little background on us: I will have a degree in English and History and I have done an internship at a fashion PR company before. Meanwhile my friend has a degree in Communications majoring in PR and might have her Masters soon and is working for a fashion PR company now. Obviously she sounds more suited than I do :P but we're both equally confident and social people. And we're very good friends

What I'm hoping to get is some advice on what are the first basic fundamental steps we need to take to launch our own company. I'm talking about things like space, funds, budgets, clients, approaching people, basic skills and employment. It's one thing to have a job at a company but it's another thing to actually have your own company.

ANY advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

*Bump*

I'm going to start a fashion PR internship with a major luxury brand...I'm really super excited about it!

Could anyone in the field kindly give me any tips on how I can maximize my experience there? It's not certain that the internship will lead to a job opening (although if all goes well, it would be nice), but I'd like to know what my strategy should be so that it would eventually lead to a job.

Thanks!
