Checklist Day: A Marketing Opportunity for Business Leaders and Entrepreneurs

National Publicist Day is celebrated annually on October 30th. It was founded in 2015 by Jordanna Stephen, owner and principal of Just Good PR, to recognize and appreciate the hard work and dedication of public relations professionals.

The date of October 30th was chosen because it is the anniversary of the first press release ever written by Ivy Lee, considered to be the father of modern public relations. On October 30, 1906, Lee issued a press release on behalf of his client, the Pennsylvania Railroad, in response to a tragic train accident. The press release was widely published, and it helped to improve the railroad's public image.

Today, National Publicist Day is celebrated by publicists and their clients all over the world. Some common ways to celebrate the day include:

• Sending thank-you notes to publicists

• Hosting or attending events to honour publicists

• Sharing stories and anecdotes about publicists on social media

• Using the hashtag #NationalPublicistDay to raise awareness of the holiday

Publicists play a vital role in our society. They help us to understand the news and information that we consume, and they shape the public's perception of businesses, brands, and celebrities. On National Publicist Day, let's take a moment to appreciate all that they do.
