The Public Relations Tool Shack

Welcome

Reaching out internationally...

Dear reader,

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking at the Public Relations Summit in Tehran, Iran, and virtually meet my IPRA colleagues of our chapter here in the Philippines (where I am currently on a WHO mission).

It's so good to connect with fellow practitioners from across the globe in these trialing times. If you think about it, the Persian and Filippino culture have (almost) nothing in common but Communication professionals from both countries face the same challenges.

I made the case for true international collaboration and diversity, as well as science based communication during my keynotes. The topics resonated and I am glad they already triggered follow-up meetings to plan and prepare 2021.

Check out my next keynote below, this time in Turkey, and don't hesitate to register, the sessions will be in English.

Tool

This is the new tool for your Tech Stack

EasyPrompter - the teleprompter for everyone

Present and record your keynotes like the best. This software teleprompter works with all mobile devices and screens and has professional features. Just like the real thing.

What does it do?

EsyPrompter allows you to write your speech, keynote, or interview key messages and have it scroll at your desired speed on any screen when you're ready to record.

It has advanced features like using your smartphone as a remote control, dual screen set up and even works offline.

PR Application?

I think it's very obvious, right?

As a support tool for your spokesperson's next interviews, as a real teleprompter for your next keynote presentation or even as a script teleprompter to create video reports.

I have used it in all three scenarios and most recently to support WHO's spokesperson to record a video message for a virtual conference. The key messages rolled down the screen of my iPad which was set right behind the camera.

The script markers and keyboard shortcuts make it a breeze to perfect that speech or interview and the interaction with any connected device makes it easy to control the teleprompter.

Price?

Free: basic functionality but definitely usable
95$/year for the pro version - adds dual screen, offline operation, remote...
