Target PR

How do you keep your cool when the pressure is on?
 
A big part of working in PR involves presenting and speaking to audiences, which can feel daunting, especially when addressing a large group or delivering a high-stakes pitch.
 
Here are the team’s top tips for staying grounded in those high-pressure moments:
 
Slow down – Taking a brief pause or a breath usually leads to a much clearer delivery than rushing through.
 
Stick to what you know – Keeping your focus on your core points helps keep the delivery steady and on track.
 
Don’t fear the unknown – If you get a question you can’t answer on the spot, it’s completely fine to say so. Honesty builds trust.

Yesterday, Bethan, Molly and Luan headed to London for the AI for PR Conference.
 
The agenda was jam-packed with insights from industry leaders talking about AI governance, creative uses, and the future of comms.
 
We enjoyed all the sessions but found Chris Stokel-Walker particularly insightful during his talk on how AI is reshaping the journalist-PR relationship.
 
The event also celebrated the launch of the new AI for Public Relations book, edited by Ben Verinder and Stephen Waddington!
 
Huge thanks to Andrew Thomas and Communicate magazine for hosting such a brilliant day.

Spring is in full swing in Gloucestershire 🌸

Longer days, brighter mornings and countryside walks are the perfect reset after a busy start to the year.

At Target, we’re taking a moment to enjoy it by getting outside and finding inspiration in the everyday 🌼

It’s ! ✍️

In PR, words are our most powerful tools. Whether we’re crafting a pitch or building a brand narrative, we spend our lives obsessing over the details of the English language.

We put the team on the spot with some quick-fire questions, from the Gen Z slang taking over the office to the timeless gems we want to bring back.

Teamwork, the Target way 🤝

The way we work together matters. That means listening to each other, sharing ideas openly and collaborating in a way that brings out the best in everyone.

Community is at the heart of what we do. 💙

In the lead up to Easter, we collected Easter Eggs for a local foodbank, and the response from the other businesses in our building was amazing.

Huge thanks to everyone who contributed!

These were delivered to the team at Hungry No More in Churchdown, and were enjoyed by the local community.🐰🍫
