And it&#8217;s certainly a huge part of successful public relations strategy as you become more than just a voice on the phone, but a reliable and\u00c2\u00a0friendly resource.<\/p>\n<p>Since\u00c2\u00a0our New York meeting,\u00c2\u00a0I have been working closely with the editors there\u00c2\u00a0on\u00c2\u00a0a few\u00c2\u00a0features for several of my clients, which I&#8217;ll be publishing throughout the year.
