How do you envision PR work?

I think you should definitely enjoy writing if you want to do this job, but a natural inclination towards communication is also helpful. It’s about presenting the image of companies to the public. PR is a part of marketing, but at the same time it is worth much more than simply advertising. Rather, the thoughts, feelings and stories speak here.

When I was a child, I really wanted to become a teacher. Over time, I developed an interest in economics, and marketing in particular appealed to me.
