I believe this is the Playbook of The Year. Why? Simple. Dean has done a superb job of defining PR concepts in a way relevant to all subject matter experts.  The way Dean unravelled misconceptions which experts tend to have on media appearances were priceless.

​

The strategies that he has shared in this book were comprehensive, clear, and incredibly practical. He made them sound like common sense, or everyday knowledge. The content and the way he gets his readers to continue to the end is really captivating. 

​

In my opinion, this is an essential book about building visibility that you will want to refer to time and time again as a refresher. It’s definitely a must for every subject matter expert’s bookshelf.

What really got me hooked on this book is that it is so easy to read and understand. Dean Shams wrote in simple language and yet was able to bring out the most critical points with clarity. 
 
He lays out each step of the publicity process and makes his points with meaningful examples. I especially like how he points out that we should not go into PR with a sales narrative. I highly recommend this book to anyone considering doing their own publicity campaign. It was worth every dime and time spent reading this book. Kudos to Dean for bringing clarity and simplicity to the complex process of PR.
