SUMMARY:What is PR ... and why should I care?
DESCRIPTION:What is PR and why should I care? \nHow can PR add value to me and my organisation? \nIf I run a small business\, should I consider working with a PR person or agency? \n  \nHave you ever wondered about Public Relations – what it means – how PR differs from marketing – and whether it applies to you? Join us for a light refreshment (aka drinks and nibbles) after business on Thursday 7th March at our Business Whanganui HQ in Guyton Street\, where we’ll be discussing these and other questions about public relations and marketing with our special guest\, Susanne Martin\, Chief Executive of PRINZ (Public Relations Institute of New Zealand). \nThis is a ‘network and learn’ event we are co-hosting with Business Whanganui network member Kathy Cunningham from Empire PR. \nThere is no charge to attend. \nYou are welcome to bring a non-member friend. \n
