This text teaches students how to write with clarity, credibility, and precision to create public relations plans designed to win approval and be successful.

 

Writing Winning Proposals: PR Cases shows students how to develop successful public relations plans and allows them to apply their skills in ten diverse, real-world cases. Information is presented from the perspective of those who review public relations plans, so it shows specifically what plan reviewers want to see in a plan and how they want the information presented.

  • Provides ten real-world cases and asks students to write public relations proposals that solve a problem, meet a challenge, or seize an opportunity in the case, helping students apply their knowledge in realistic situations.
  • Presents cases interactively with classroom role-plays, contracts, client interview notes, meeting transcripts and other examples, helping students engage with cases in the same ways as real-life practitioners.
  • Offers a new paradigm of precision for writing public relations plans that are designed to win approval, helping students achieve a level of clarity and credibility seldom found in public relations plans.
  • Instructs from the perspective of those who review public relations plans, helping students write plans that are more likely to be approved.
  • Promotes plan development by student teams, encouraging teamwork skills that students can take to internships and jobs.
  • Gives students the opportunity to develop a portfolio of plans and other writing assignments that provides tangible evidence of their achievements and can be used to advance their careers after finishing the course.
  • Includes, in the Instructor’s Manual, model student plans for 10 cases, 70 model case-related writing assignments, lesson points for each case and a system that structures and expedites grading of plans and individual writing assignments, providing a wealth of support and guidance for the instructor.
