Yesterday, several news articles appeared forecasting that the public relations specialist profession is expected to experience strong growth in the next ten years. This should be no surprise to anyone in the public relations profession.

As founder of a small public relations firm, I have a firsthand look into the growth of the industry. I relocated my business to California and there are several client possibilities near and far. To me…public relations is the ultimate profession. It combines creativity, writing, type-A personalities, event planning and spontaneity. Public relations is evolving with new developments in social media. Due to this change businesses need public relations more than ever.  So stick with me a while longer…PR is here to stay.
