Matias Rodsevich created an excellent guide if you wish to learn and create great strategies to achieve your goals and be successful with your career. The PR Paradox: How to Master the Art of PR as a Startup or Scale-up has several explanations that can help us be positive when having changes in our businesses. We know that changing is always vital, but sometimes it can also be quite nerve-racking. Well, don’t get nervous, because Matias uses a simple language and provides us with several explanations so that even though you are quite new in this area you won’t feel overwhelmed.
Right from the beginning you will be introduced to the key topics about PR and how you can build your brand right from the beginning. « Don’t try to boil the ocean, be selective, start with a few key relationships, treat them well, and build from there. Do things well, consistently. This book talks about how to do it all!»
Through the whole book I felt that I was having a class at the university about this, because the explanations are thorough and accompanied by study cases. You can definitely see how Matias has a great knowledge in the PR world and as a marketing student I have to admit that it was truly refreshing to read his book. «You should take advantage of all the opportunities to build a positive public image. An effective PR strategy will help you differentiate yourself from others and develop a story that resonates with your audience. »
It is a breath of fresh air! I think that this book is really important for us to know how to become a great PR.
