Petrotta recommends building relationships with the athletes' agents which will help develop a relationship with the athletes themselves when you work in internal public relations. #GaylordPR

What does it mean to be in sports PR? Petrotta says you need have trust with the media- the media with your audience and other sports teams' media. #GaylordPR

Petrotta was working at Wichita State at the time their's men's basketball team reached the Final Four for the first time in 38 years in 2013 and it was "an awesome week," Petrotta said. #GaylordPR

Petrotta transitioned from sports broadcaster to sports information director at Stetson University after starting out in the baseball industry. The university's location and the competition to other larger schools in Florida were some of the challenges of his new job. #GaylordPR

Brian Petrotta ended up in Sports Public Relations because of Danny Manning and leading the Kansas Jayhawks to victory in the 1988 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship and his admiration of Manning himself. This was the beginning of Petrotta's incredible career. #GaylordPR

Brookey says that Public Relations offers diverse career opportunities around the U.S. due to the advantage of pursuing higher education. #GaylordPR

Brookey helped reposition Tulsa Community College's brand when they started to offer free tuition as a public institution. Through strategic communication and advertising, students were flocking to TCC. #GaylordPR

"Whatever you can do, try to be in the arena," Brooke says as she explains the importance of getting real world experience on in your desired field during college. #GaylordPR

So excited for Lauren F. Brookey to speak to my Public Relations class today! Can't wait to hear about her amazing career. #GaylordPR

Kelley recommends reading the book “Tge Compound Effect” to help with your disciple and ethics in PR.

Kelley’s best advice for PRSSA members: “What is your passion/greater purpose?”

Kelley’s favorite project that she’s worked in so far was branding for the Oklahoma City Convention Center. They get their inspiration for the brand from different well known areas throughout OKC.

Freestyle PR’s first campaign was for the Chickasaw Nation. It was an initiate to reduce underage drinking.
