When something ever goes wrong in a campaign, it is always up to the Public Relations Chairman to make it all right. They are the face of the problem, and they are the ones that have to make sure the problem goes away. Some people might say it is a easy job, but in actuality it is not. To put your own self out of the line, is like being lined up for a firing squad. Also, you are representing something bigger than yourself, and everyone is counting like you. So in a sense being a Public Relations chairman, is being like a superhero.
With that being said putting yourself out there especially for a campaign takes guts. Also, the Public Relation plays a big factor for the effectiveness of a campaign. So here are some helpful tips for Public Relations chairman during a campaign.
1st. Take the Time to Prepare.
Do your research and know the facts. Also, know opinions of people too, so you have a response for them. You need to make sure that you know the whole story, and both sides. So when the questions come (both positive and negative) you have an answer no matter what.
2. Use short sentences and short words.
When giving a report keep it short and sweet. Make sure people can understand it and receive the message you are sending. Get straight to the point, and be clear in your answer. If you use big words, and are shaky on your facts, your message could not be received in the right way.
3. Manage your Reputation.
You are out there representing something other than yourself, and you can not forget that. If you make a mistake, fix it right then and there, if not your campaign will get caught later and that could change the outcome. Stay true to the campaign values, do not lie, and make sure to end on a positive note.
