Nightingale & Co, by Charlotte Printz tr Marina Sofia – book review
Wall. What is it: metaphor? Absolutely nothing. Say it again.
A graphic with a blue background featuring the words "PITCH FORWARD" in large white outlined text. The word "PITCH" includes two right-facing arrows in red and yellow, with the phrase "BEST PRACTICE" in a yellow box overlaid on them. Below, the phrase "A FRESH approach" appears in mixed red and blue text. "FORWARD" has a red curved arrow looping into the letter "O." Beneath, a white banner contains the tagline "A better pitching process for the comms industry" in blue italic text. The bottom left includes "Thank you to MUCK RACK" in white, and the bottom right features the PRCA logo in a white box.
📢 PRCA is launching a ‘fresh’ approach to PR pitching! Our new Pitch Forward Principles set out clear, fair, and ethical best practices for agencies and clients alike.
Will you adopt these principles?
