In Defense of PR

The recent article regarding the Sitrick & Co.’s astronomical public relations fees of more than $249,620 for the Orange County bankruptcy debacle sheds an unfavorable dark shadow on fair-priced, hard-working public relations firms.

I have spent the last 10 years as a public relations professional, representing financial institutions, hotels, law firms and shopping centers. Our policy is to offer value to our customers, not just billing for bucks.

Please let’s not judge the rest of the industry by these inflated standards.
