Now listen, don't get us wrong...we LOVE an entertainment publicist??! There is so much impact to be made in that space, especially through Black and brown representation and impactful storytelling. PRocon showed us the power of that through a lot of the speakers in entertainment PR. However, some agencies choose to focus on larger mission-centric businesses to impact the broader community at a wider scale. BOTH are necessary????. Which do you prefer? Comment below.
