I am into PR man. You can contact me on yahoo messenger so i give u my number. My office is at CMS.

I HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING INTO?
PR sounds so sweet but surely there is more to it that meets the eye
do you have the mind for it
don't thinks its just smiling with an open teeth
i wish you well but look before you leap
AMERICANS PREFER TO GIVE IT A BETTER NAME "LOBBYING" so that you know what you are going into
but here its something else with the BEAUTIFUL NAME "PR"
good luck man

@jummy4real
could u please tell me of any good training courses/programmes in copywriting  that u know of?

@ndubest
I think you need enlightenment on what PR is all about. Its not only smiling and opening of teeth as you think of it. It is all about Image making and reputation management [i][/i]of a company.

There is no professional  that can do without it.
 Is it a Doctor
 Lawyer
 Business Man
 Market women
 or even you

I advise you go for a course in it, and you will Know what it is all about.
Cheers

but an sure int involve in APCON'S curriculum/lectures( see their site- http://www.apcon.gov.ng/forms.html#student)

though i would like to know if there is any other proper training on copy writing too!


 :-\any help?

@idagu
I wouldnt mind if you enlighten me on what you do in PR apart from meeting people and convincing them or selling your ideas to them in order to improve the cooperate and over all financial image of your institution or your brand

what else is PR?

sure am not a practioner

but may be you need to read about what happens in capitol hill to understand what am talking about

you know here people see lobbying as a negative thing as they equate it to bribery (which is not the case)

think broader than the nigerian context if you are in PR and you hope to someday make it BIG TIME

when bills are passed in US congress or senate, what do you think happen over there?

except if you are seeing PR in a small persepective of only cooperate "image washing" and forget about what follows after the washing

Good luck practioners but better explain to your apprentice the whole details start to finish even if it is the responsibilty of another person to play the other part of the game.

@junegirl, @iyeyemi

You can attend Advertising Practitioners’ Council of Nigeria (APCON) for copy writing training.  Download their form here http://www.apcon.gov.ng/forms.html
