Citing the success of the movie The Blair Witch Project as an example of how a firm doesn't necessarily need a big public relations budget to develop "buzz" about a project, Laermer, CEO of RLM Public Relations, offers advice on public relations and how to integrate it with marketing campaigns. The majority of the material concentrates on the business's relationship with the press, with discussion of fashioning a news "hook," providing news "content," and dealing with Internet news. This is a paperbound reprint of a 2003 book. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
