How to get ahead in public relations
(original link via Gawker and Tom Murphy)
Lizzie Grubman (remember her?) has a brand new gig, teaching “How to succeed in Public Relations and Image Marketing” at NY’s Learning Annex.
Sounds like a terrific course. I swear to God I’m not making this up – check out the course info here.
Here are some actual samples from the program outline (quoted verbatim, with only a little added commentary):
Her "been there and done it" P.R. tips and strategies
(Shouldn’t that be her “been there, done the time, paid the minimum fine” tips and strategies?)
The essential skills and qualities of a top P.R. person
(I'm guessing one of these must be the ability to drive an SUV while tanked up on cosmo's?)
What P.R. firms are looking for when they recruit
(Surely everyone already knows this: Blonds. With big hair. Clean driving license not required. Next question...)
The importance of networking - and how to develop your own P.R. network
(Because you just never know who you might run into...)
Attention-getting ways to present yourself in writing and in person
(Here’s a great attention-getter: back your high-end SUV into a crowd of people. Hey! Did I get your attention yet?!)
The 101 things a P.R. pro does
(#1. Get loaded. #2 Drive like a bastard. #3 Lie. #4 Get off with an easy fine. #5 Shop for shoes)
Where the money is
(Still in Lizzie’s pocket, apparently)
All this for a mere US$49 - and you get five bucks off for enrolling online! Start your engines...
