Ritz Carlton public relations works because the brand has something most PR programmes lack: a story that is already true before any press release is written. The service philosophy is so embedded in the organisation that journalists, guests, and employees tell it without being asked. That is not a communications strategy. That is what happens…
Ritz-Carlton public relations works because it is not built on press releases and media pitches.
