Creativity – the magic spark that only a few of us possess. A highly sought after trait, and probably the second most appreciated gene known to man (after the attractive gene of course).

So why are so many reluctant to be creative?

Creativity is particularly useful in certain occupations. It proved handy for Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel, and it definitely comes in handy for us PR people.

Creative PR is highly effective when done properly. It can generate lots of attention and coverage, but it has to be executed perfectly. The timing has to be perfect; the delivery has to be perfect. Everything needs to be perfect.

Get it right and the rewards will be well worth the effort.

Being innovative will ensure you generate talk and interest, create a buzz, work wonders to boost the profile of the client and most importantly secure great coverage!

Perhaps it may seem a little ‘out there’ at first, but innovative and quirky is so much more interesting than playing it safe and sticking to the rules.

Overall, creative PR is for everyone and can be used by all businesses to help them stand out from the crowd. So next time you’re planning a campaign, just try to think creatively – who knows, you might be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.
