Public Relations

I’m interested in knowing more about the PR and Marketing departments within a NASCAR team. Does each team have their own people or do they hire from outside agencys? If so, what offices do they hire from? How can I get into contact with them? I am interested in a job in the PR or Marketing field with a NASCAR team and I’m not sure where to send my resumes, etc. I’m already living in the Charlotte area, just need to know what is next.

How about if there are no affordable colleges in your area that offer a public relations degree? What would be the next best option?

Any one know of some really good colleges/universities for Public Relations, Advertising, and Marketing? Could be any of the 3 – although they usually go hand in hand.
Preferably on the east coast, but ANYTHING will be fine!! Thanks!!

what would be a good minor to have?

In his latest column for the UK Sun, Paul Heyman goes on a rant about how poorly TNA has marketed Samoa Joe since he won the TNA Title earlier this month. He does a pretty good job explaining the various problems with the way TNA promotes their product and how the company does absolutely nothing to emphasize their unique strengths. Some highlights:
Heyman says, “The live crowd, for the most part, loved [Joe & Angle's MMA-style match]. Customer satisfaction with the TNA product probably reached an all time high with this match. And yet, NOTHING CHANGED!”

He continues, “Why? Because TNA had no marketing campaign behind their new champion. ‘Crossing the Line’ was done by ECW in 1994. David Sahadi is a genius whose videos deserve massive praise, but the theme is the same as what he did for WWE a half decade ago. What public relations firm was hired to make Samoa Joe ‘the IT guy’ in today’s pop culture? What marketing firm was retained to get the TNA name out there? … Where’s the expansion? Where’s the reach-out for the new audience? Where’s the strategy to blast past the 1.0 ratings and target a 1.5, dare I say a “2.0″ rating?

I just finished viewing the first episode of new Soap Net series “The Fashionista Diaries.” In the previews for the next show, a woman says this to an assistant and I had no idea what it mean. The only thing I could surmise is that the assistant (Bridget) works with another assistant (Nicole) who is a bit out of her league working at a high pressure public relations firm. Does anyone have any guesses? Is this a saying that I’m just not familiar with?

A. Compile annual reports for the SEC
B. Maximize profits for the stockholders
C. Rebut sales and earnings forecasts during conference calls
D. Disclose information that might affect a person’s decision about its stock
E. Ensure that proprietary information is not revealed

I was working for a investor relations company. Do you have any advice how to start all over again. I did send my resume to monster.com .

I’ll be starting my senior year of college in a month. My major is communications/public relations. I want to be sure to have a job as soon after graduation as possible.
