lauraspragge: @ElissaPR I'm in Ottawa, recently graduated from Algonquin College's PR program... Humber has quite the program as well!
prsarahevans: Q2 is coming up in about 5 minutes.
prtini: @prsarahevans Trying, but there doesn't seem to be a relpy option. Seems like a cool platform if these glitches can be worked out. :)
prtini: Depends on the specific situation/client/pitch, but a strong pitch still works well, if targeted to the right reporter, relevant, etc. If it's not gaining traction, then trying other approaches may help.
