I'm asking this question again because no one answered post #38...
Ok, currently I'm a freelance stylist but I'm looking to get into PR, preferably in house. There's a situation that might come up for me to do PR for a small accessories brand (or atleast interview with a strong recommendation).
I know a few PR managers on a friendly level, and as a stylist I interact with quite a few... but what do they really do all day? It seems as though the ones who work for smaller brands just lend out samples to stylists, but what else do they do?
I'm thinking coming from a background in styling & college degree, albeit unrelated, I should be able to do this job. I understand product placement, etc. Also, the place I want to work has such a small office- 5 people!
I would really appreciate if anyone has any info on what other job duties a PR manager who essentially lends out samples also does!![]()
Hello, maybe I can offer some help!
I worked/work(I'm on a temporary hiatus to finsih my studies lol) in a PR office for one of the LVMH fashion houses in Paris with four of us in the office.
We had like a presss office manager and a director of the press office/Public Relations of the brand. The press office manager was more just like a press officer, in other words in charge of keepin all the magazines sweet, stayin in touch with them dealing with their requests for samples and passing them onto us who were lower down the cahin. The PR director was more involved in things like organising big meetings with influential editors like Carine Roitfeld etc with our president and creative director etc, a lot less day to day work with journalists/sample requests. Trying to co-ordinate/write all the press releases for the events, new launches, limited edition products etc, much more about the marketing/public relations of the brand u know?
Then the two of them were also basically in charge of all the people who got invited to the show for fashion week and then where they were seated!
I'm sure there's more but cant think of it off the top of my head lol
If u have any more specific questions, just post and I will try to answer! Hope that helped! x
