What's a PR professional's typical day like?

As long as I have been working in public relations , I have never really had a "typical day". ِActually There is no typical day, but you'll always do certain things, just in different orders and on different days.

While your day-to-day tasks may shift, most of your time will be either on email doing things or a phone call doing things. You will not often go places and do events, though many people will tell you this is a thing you will do. You will spend most of your day behind a desk.

If a PR person craves a "typical day" then he or she is in the wrong business:)-.

Nonetheless, here are a bunch of activities a PR professional may confront.

1. Develop press materials (usually, press releases, sometimes, simple emails)
2. Send press materials out
3. Speak to members of the media - through email and on the phone, predominantly
4. Develop/update media contact lists and notes
5. Handle new business calls
6. Identify coverage opportunities
7. Collate coverage, report/feedback to management and clients
8. Speak to clients
9. Plan client angles/campaigns
10. Planning (events, interviews, meetings etc)
11. Meet journalists, clients and potential clients.
