Gain real-world skills and faster growth inside a public relations agency while building your future in brand communication.

Not all PR partnerships deliver the support you need. Recognizing the warning signs early can help you find a team that truly drives visibility, trust, and long-term results.

What’s the ROI of a public relations “project”? If you think about it in isolation, a single PR push might deliver a spike in visibility, but that momentum fades fast. The truth: Short-term, project-based PR rarely delivers lasting impact. PR is most valuable when you treat it as a strategic, long-term investment.

In a world where every brand fights for media attention, you need more than a typical press release to stand out. Doing something truly original is what catches journalists’ eyes. When you create interesting, memorable stories, you inspire news outlets to share your message with their audiences.

You rely on the media to stay informed, but what if the information you’re getting isn’t as neutral as it seems? Understanding media bias is essential because it affects how you see the world, make decisions, and interact with others. When you consume news, you're not just absorbing facts; you're also navigating the subtle (or sometimes blatant) ways news outlets frame stories.

Public relations can often feel like a whirlwind of messages and media. In such a crowded space, having that elusive wow factor is what sets campaigns apart. What exactly is this wow factor? It's the elements of surprise and creativity that make people sit up and take notice. When a PR strategy incorporates these elements, it doesn't just tell a story — it makes people care on a personal level, leaving a lasting impression.

Have flexibility without long-term contracts.

Most sophisticated PR firms require yearly or multi-year agreements. Axia Public Relations offers a unique approach — providing clients the flexibility to pause or exit the partnership with just 90 days’ notice. This client-focused model delivers value without requiring long-term obligations, giving clients more control over the duration of their PR investments.

Brands love leveraging holidays for promotions. Presidents’ Day, however, presents unique challenges, especially in today’s politically charged climate. How should brands approach their Presidents’ Day messaging in 2025?

At Axia Public Relations, we advise companies on corporation communication, reputation management, and crisis communication. Here’s our take on how brands can navigate Presidents’ Day marketing without alienating customers.

Guaranteed media is a form of advertising.

Promises of quick results constantly bombard companies. Among these are publicity shops posing as PR firms that offer “guaranteed media coverage” in high-profile outlets like Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Inc. While this may sound appealing, especially to companies new to public relations, guaranteed media offers often come with hidden pitfalls that can harm your brand’s reputation and credibility.

Corporate communications are full of opportunities to connect or alienate your audience. From Anheuser-Busch and Target boycotts to Apple essentially reinventing engagement, strategic comms is all about taking calculated risks to achieve well-defined goals.
