As the head of one of the nation's leading and
most prestigious independent public relations firms, Planned Television
Arts President Rick Frishman has learned many lessons in the course
of his quarter-century promoting best-selling authors, Hollywood
celebrities, Fortune 500 CEOs , publishers, major non-profits
and even the media itself to the news media. He has joined
forces with best-selling author Jay Conrad Levinson, who is celebrating
the 20-year anniversary of the landmark publication of his internationally-acclaimed
book, Guerrilla Marketing. Together, along with the owner of a west
coast PR firm, they have produced the PR bible for the decade, providing
hundreds of cost-effective strategies.

"PR has changed over the years," says Rick Frishman, author of a
new book (GUERRILLA PUBLICITY)
that helps publicity-seekers meet the challenges of a new decade
in marketing, media relations and promotions. "The size and type
of news media has changed with an increase in cross-ownership of
media outlets by large conglomerates, the explosion of the Internet,
the shortening of the news cycle, and a consumer public with a shrinking
attention span."
To succeed in business, from any industry to
entertainment, or to promote a political campaign, a social cause,
or an individual, the most productive and cost-effective way is
through conducting a solid publicity campaign. Advertising agencies,
marketing firms and public relations specialists alike would all
agree on this. And there are many professionals who do the job well
and get paid well for their efforts. But where is the individual
who runs a business on a shoe-string budget to turn? Where does
a non-profit struggling to solicit resources find financing for
promotions? How does a first-time author with limited royalty checks
advance his book with a PR campaign he can afford?
"GUERRILLA PUBLICITY
is for the individual or organization looking for wise advice and
experienced-based counsel on how to promote anything without spending
a lot," says best-selling co-author Jay Conrad Levinson. "Our book
lays out an aggressive plan for learning how to build publicity
campaigns from the inside out, zeroing in on a targeted market,
and infusing a marketing plan with powerful publicity hooks."
To produce a publicity campaign that strategically
impacts and supports your bottom line, readers will rely on the
sage advice of GUERRILLA PUBLICITY
to do the following:
Reveal inside information on how to
make friends in the media
Offer simple but effective ways to get
others to spread your message
Provide samples of eye-catching press
releases and media kits that get you noticed
Locate targeted, updated, and results-producing
media lists
"To stay ahead of the competition or just
keep up means that you have to be out there promoting on
a regular basis," adds Frishman. "And unless you are able to afford
hiring someone to promote you, just look to GUERRILLA
PUBLICITY as a resourceful foundation for launching your
own campaign guerrilla style!"
"GUERRILLA PUBLICITYis
a great tool for anyone looking to understand and tap into
the power of publicity." Jim
McCann, CEO, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM
"In my 25 years of promoting books and programs,
I attribute some of my biggest successes to great publicity. This
book captures the wealth of information needed to make any book,
product, or program a best-seller through publicity!"
Robert G. Allen, author of New York Times
best-sellers Multiple Streams of Income and Multiple Streams of
Internet Income, and co-author of One Minute Millionaire
