Life Things You Shouldn’t Say When Asking the Stranger to Publicize Your Event

posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on September 6 at 15:09 PM

“Oh, you guys don’t just publish anything?”

“How long should the press release be?”

“We’d like to advertise, but y’know, for free.”

“Oh, so our event’s not cool enough?”

Dang, now I want to know what the event is - so I can avoid it.

Obviously, whatever it is, they've put all of their PR/Marketing in the hands of someone who has no idea what they're doing.

Whatever it is, odds are it's something I'd actually go to.

How about telling you that celebrities will be at the event? Is that cool?
