Name: Ged Carroll, 38

Company: Ruder Finn, 40+ people UK and 600+ worldwide. Prior to this he helped found Waggener Edstrom’s digital office and worked in house at Yahoo!

Job Title: Director, Digital Strategies

Mopwater: What made you get into public relations? What do you like best about the field?  GC: I got into PR through wanting to work in an agency environment following completing a degree in marketing. I had previously worked part-time marketing club nights, DJ’ing and working in the oil industry as a plant process operator.  PR as a career has been good to me; I have managed to travel internationally and meet some interesting people.

Mopwater: What aspects of the industry are you currently most excited about? GC: Probably the most exciting bit about the industry at the present time is the change that it is undergoing, which I think that the recession will accelerate. This change will be structural as marketing communications disciplines mesh together and the opportunities opening up as the Gordian knot of how to measure PR is finally broken!

Mopwater: Describe a typical work day including your typical work hours. GC: There is no typical work day in digital. The other day I went from dealing with lice shampoo to semiconductors in the space of half an hour. My role involves doing web research, conducting online outreach, designing online campaigns, working with internal designers, developers and third parties to build websites, providing advice to teams and clients, running external training programmes and speaking at conferences. Sometimes it can be long hours, but on the up side the firm is pretty flexible and efforts are appreciated. Read the full story

Name: Anne Williams
Age: 36
Current City: Washington, DC
Job Title: Customer Services Program Specialist
Company Name: DC Office on Aging
Length of Time in this Role: 1 year
Twitter Handle: annieb1113

Mopwater: Describe your path to PR. How did you wind up in this field? AW: As a radio,tv & film production major at Howard University, I had interesting internships that sparked my interested in the public relations field: promotions department at Majic 102.3 and the White House Office of Communications. After HU, I got my graduate degree in public communication from American University. I’ve worked at a non-profit organization in the DC area and a marketing and PR firm in Northern Virginia. In 2000, I landed in the marketing and communications department at BET Networks where I stayed for a little over seven years. Now, I work for the DC Office on Aging.

Mopwater: What aspects of the industry are you most excited about? AW: Entertainment PR.  I have always been a huge television and movie addict and pop culture junkie,  so everything entertainment related really excites me.

Mopwater: Describe a typical workday including your work hours. What do you do all day? AW: My work day begins at 8:30am and ends at 5pm. On a daily basis, I manage the ADRC website, create publicity and marketing materials for upcoming events and agency initiatives. Because all media related public relations is being centralized under the Mayor’s communications team, I work on collateral publicity and marketing materials. A lot of time is spent using desktop publishing programs to create flyers, brochures, advertisements, program booklets, etc.  I also design and edit the ADRC newsletter.

Mopwater: What are your favorite and least favorite PR tasks and why? Do you love to pitch? Dread writing releases? Adore blogging for your brands?  AW: I love writing! Being creative and making people take a second look at what would normally be considered “the usual”. I’m an optimist so I try to find the positive an every situation.  I’m not as big a fan of pitching but with digital media, that aspect of pr is evolving. You can establish relationships and creatively pitch clients via email, Facebook, and Twitter a lot faster and reach a broader audience.  Pitching has become so much more than just a phone call to a reporter.

Christine Randle

Christine Randle, 38

DPR Group, Inc.

Account Executive, about 3 years

Mopwater: Describe your path to PR. What made you want to get into the field?

CR: This is a difficult question, because I really fell into this field. I have a B.A. in history and an M.A. in Urban Studies. When I was looking for jobs after graduate school, I wanted to work in nonprofit—likely in a research capacity. I landed a position with a large workforce development agency in Philadelphia as a communications manager, simply because I was a good writer, understood the issues and could synthesize information quickly and concisely. I immediately fell in love with communications and can’t see myself doing anything else. In particular, media relations are an enormous amount of fun. There’s nothing quite like seeing an article appear in print or online that you’ve pitched and placed.

Mopwater: What aspects of the industry are you most excited about?

CR:I think  social media is exciting, in part because so much of it is uncharted territory. The rules are changing as quickly as they are created, so you really have to be on your toes.

Mopwater: Describe your office and workplace.

CR:My company, DPR Group has two offices—one in Germantown, MD and one in Cary, NC. It is a fairly laid-back environment, as long as you deliver results for your clients. We are lucky enough to have a casual dress code and the ability to telecommute on an as needed basis. How many co-workers do you have? DPR Group is a small firm with 7 people in the MD office and 7 people in the NC office. Where, how, and how often do you collaborate with them? I collaborate with my co-workers quite frequently, seeking regular advice on a range of issues from media relations to client relations. We connect several times throughout the day using email, phone and face-to-face contact most often, but we also connect via Twitter, sharing industry news related to both PR and our clients’ respective markets.

Rebekah Lovell of Renown Promotions in Atlanta

Rebekah Lovell, 24 Woodstock, GA (Atlanta)

PR Strategist to Small Business

Owner of Renown Promotions,  going on 2 years

Renown Blog

Twitter: @Renown

Mopwater: Describe your path to PR. What made you want to get into the field?
RL: Back in high school I was elected to the Public Relations seat on our Student Council and something clicked. Since then, I’ve always gravitated towards managing people, business, and events and loved the idea of creating value for businesses and organizations by doing so. I started in college as a Dance Pedagogy major, then Journalism, and then quickly changed to PR upon learning what it was really all about. I was the nerd who sat on the front row and actually read the textbooks and started a blog upon my professor’s suggestion. After a stellar experience at my internship, I took a job in Marketing with a top Atlanta Real Estate Firm. I couldn’t wait to strike out on my own once I saw the depth of small businesses in our area needing counsel and direction. I like to be behind the scenes, and position people and causes for success. It seems PR is a natural extension of my personality and gifts and I’m very passionate about what I do. I enjoy the fast-paced climate of PR and always learning what’s next.

Mopwater: What aspects of the industry are you most excited about?

RL: Strategy and Campaigns, Writing, Social Media, Causes and Events. I like to help businesses get from A to B, and help them look back at how far they’ve come.

Mopwater: Describe your office and workplace. How many co-workers do you have? Where, how, and how often do you collaborate with them?
RL: I work from my home office and communicate with the world outside non-stop via phone, email, and social media. I work hand-in-hand with a couple of other PR companies and freelancers to accomplish everything on my plate.

Mopwater: Describe a typical workday including your work hours. What do you do all day?
RL: My days are always different-but that’s half the fun! I start early and end late, and even work weekends most of the time to catch up. I may have a few office days a week, but I travel a lot to meet clients, attend events, and network.

Mopwater: What are your favorite and least favorite PR tasks? Do you love to pitch? Do you dread writing releases?
RL: Reverse of your example answers-I love to write and don’t enjoy pitching! I have a knack for the written word and really enjoy getting a client’s message across so that a certain media’s listeners, viewers, or readers can relate to and identify with the idea or story behind the feature.
