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.

Typical day for a PR professional would be a myth. Flexibility & ability to multitask thus become fundamental to be successful in Public Relations.

Programme planning to liaise with management & clients throughout, working with printed word as large groups of people have to be reached, developing & maintaining working  contact with media, meeting & communicating with individuals or groups of people to enable one on one conversation, supervisory technique knowledge activities, handling events for a specific purpose which mainly is to get attention of targeted groups, & researching on trending practices & market activities to help formulate future strategies are routine activities which result in the so called typical day in a PR professional's life.

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
