What a new client can expect
Our working style is pro-active and client-responsive.
PR at Jazzmyne Public Relations has two meanings: public
relations and personal relations.
A new client's relationship begins with Jazzmyne Public
Relations developing a comprehensive PR program and timeline
to guide our working together. This includes goals, objectives,
strategy, and specific steps. This working document is
used as the basis for a campaign. As we continue working
with you, we customize your campaign to draw upon specific
information we gather as we get to know you and your needs.
The program and timeline are flexible to allow for adjustments
throughout the course of a campaign.
We are in frequent contact and meet with you on a regular
basis. Monthly progress reports provide a detailed summary
of activities carried out on your behalf.
In order to deliver optimal results, we do our homework.
We get in your back pocket, learning about your company
and industry from the inside out.

. Who at your company will be the official spokesperson,

As part of our initial research about you and your company,
we gather the information for your press kit and initial
press releases. We help you to streamline and enliven
your messages so that they will have the most beneficial
impact in the marketplace.
Development of a press kit and key corporate messages
occurs at the start of your campaign. Typically, your
kit will include a corporate backgrounder, bios and photos
of key executives, relevant industry background, and recent
news releases. If you are a dot.com business, a colorful
screen grab of your home page and other relevant Web pages
is also included.
If your company spokesperson(s) need media training, we
can provide this before the initial media interviews.

with the media, see FAQ.

Disseminating your news
When you have a press release, the agency services it
to its targeted media list, utilizing the method journalists
prefer. For example, some media request mailed copies,
while others prefer either fax or e-mail. Increasingly,
journalists are requesting a majority of their information
electronically. This means that when you have news to
announce and it includes photos, the images need to be
in a digital format for sending via e-mail.
When your news warrants the expense of distribution by
PR Newswire, we provide the release to this service. The
dissemination can be tailored to the needs of each particular
news story--being sent either locally, nationally or internationally
and targeted to specific types of media desired. For international
distribution, the news is translated into the native language.
Monitoring results
We work with news monitoring services which provide a
regular reporting and copies of news clippings. Typically,
there is about a three-week lag time between the time
the news appears and when the agency receives it. For
optimal tracking, the agency provides the monitoring service
with copies of press releases and advises when interviews
occur. We provide clients with monthly activity reports,
and these include copies of news clippings.
