Session: <\/b>Living the Life: Entertainment PR<\/p>\n

Presenters: <\/b>Priscilla Clarke, President, Clarke & Associates, LLC (@pclarkepr<\/a>);\u00a0Nicole Garner, CEO, The Garner Circle LLC (@thegarnercircle<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Recap:<\/b> Priscilla Clarke from Clarke & Associates, LLC<\/a> described her company as non-profit mixed with entertainment. She made sure to add stories from her public relations career as examples for what to do and what not to do in certain situations. Nicole Garner represented The Garner Circle<\/a>, which was named one of the most progressive companies in the city of Atlanta. To break the ice and get the session attendees more involved, there was an exercise to show an example of how to broaden your mind and think on the spot.<\/p>\n

Clarke and Garner discussed the differences between publicity and promotion. Publicity is like the front cover of People magazine, while promotion is similar to the back cover they said. They wanted students to understand that knowledge of crisis management is essential. Both Clarke and Garner referenced \u201cScandal\u201d to give an example of satellite media tours and product placement relevance.<\/p>\n
