Here we go again. Another week and another PR agency who sends me their client’s press release in the hope that I will put it up. However it’s the same problem (not for them, for me) as I have never been invited to said client’s media events. All of a sudden comes a major coffee chain’s Holiday Gift Guide. Hey, how about including me for once in their limited edition festive drinks tasting session?
Earlier I’d posted about this issue. I would really appreciate it if PR included me in their client’s media launches etc. before sending me press releases because since I am not paid to publish their press release, the very least they can do is include me whenever they have media events. It’s not asking a lot. I just dislike being on the B list all the time, i.e. the list of media to send press releases to but not invite to any media events. It’s getting tiresome and the worst thing is, every time I email the person who sent me the press release about including me in their client’s media events, I get no reply. As I said before, just delete my email from the list of media to send press releases to so that I don’t have to waste time deleting those emails.
