Pro Bono Public Relations Work
I take on pro bono public relations clients on a case by case basis. My plate is very full right now and I am currently not taking on more work. I will consider offering free (and very brief) consultation services to a civic movement related to Northwest Africa because the region is my area of specialty and focus (numerous fields and disciplines). Larger issues on the African continent are obviously related and as my involvement in Northwest Africa grows I may update this post.
If you'd like to contact me about pro bono public relations consultations please take the time to read this blog and my other websites. Public relations practitioners have widely divergent areas of expertise. If you don't take the time to get to know what I do and the capacities in which I work, there's no need to contact me. There's a good chance that I maybe totally irrelevant to your public relations needs.
I support (short list):
Environmental stewardship
Civic society building
Humanitarian aid projects that are highly structured and provide case studies
Education
Diplomatic solutions
I like (short list):
Strong leaders and team players
Proactive personalities
Sense of larger purpose and vision
Focus
Determination
Commitment
I have little or no interest in:
Causes
Awareness campaigns
Noise-makers
Soap boxes
The first two on the last list are, perhaps, a bit surprising to some. The problem with causes and awareness campaigns is that they are too often used by noise makers as soap boxes.
I earn my living from the "glamorous" side of food and public relations. Which means that I have to keep working at my paying jobs in order to volunteer my services to civic society building. I live well beneath my earning capacity to support my volunteer efforts.
