A Day In The Life Of Your PR Virtual Assistant
Your assistant starts each morning by checking for any mentions of your company online.
They spend the mid-morning writing press releases and reaching out to reporters with your latest news.
Afternoons are for creating social media content and following up with journalists who might want to feature your story.
By the end of the day, they send you a simple report showing everything they accomplished.
Give your assistant 2-3 big goals each month instead of daily tasks. This lets them work smart and get better results.
