"Communication is at the heart of PR" : Performance judgements are made in the mind. Whether with internal or external audiences. Here too, "a picture is worth a thousand words". Use visual language and narrative techniques to create a picture in the mind of the listener or reader. Feel free to show the listener pictures of comparable situations and create a "smiling picture of joy" at the end. This will remain in the listener's or reader's memory. Pure facts are quickly forgotten or not even noticed. Sit in the listener's and reader's chair.

Practice has taught that by strategically integrating social media into our PR strategy, we can significantly expand our reach and engagement, resulting in a more positive perception of our brand.

An essential part of any performance appraisal is obtaining and responding to feedback. Approach this process with an open mind and show a willingness to learn and grow. Asking for specific examples of what you have done well and showing that you appreciate constructive criticism and are committed to continuous improvement emphasises your commitment to PR excellence.

“Personal growth is wonderful”: Give your superiors a regular “update” about the status of your projects and combine this with your respective further development and your personal goals. Don't assume that your manager knows what you are doing and how well you have developed. And, he doesn't know your goals and desires. In this way, the importance of your tasks for the company and the manager as well as you, as a high performer, are remembered. This way, you won’t be “forgotten” when you get promoted or assigned interesting tasks.

Show what else you can do to fulfill the company's vision. Actively present suitable ideas for new projects or initiatives that are close to your heart and at the same time contribute to achieving the company's PR goals. This shows initiative, strategic planning skills and your potential as a designer and internal influencer. In doing so, you shape the future of your company and your own future.
