A Billy Etc. PR Agency Services Guide to Icebreaking!

Alight, legends, let’s start the PR party with an icebreaker. It needs to be more exciting than a Sydney thunderstorm. This is not your old “get-to-know-ya” chit-chat. We’re talking about starting your event with a bang.

Know Your Tribe:

First up, who’s rocking up? Are they tech wizards, creative geniuses, or industry moguls? Get the lowdown on your crowd so your icebreaker hits the sweet spot.

Set the PR Vibe:

Decide on the energy level. Is your public relations strategy keeping it chill or cranking it up to eleven?

Keep your Public Relations Strategy on Ice:

Make sure your icebreaker is inclusive. Great public relations strategies bounce anything that could make someone feel like a wallflower. The best PR plan wants all the good vibes, with zero awkwardness.

Spark on Brand Curiosity:

Throw in a question or a challenge that’s related to your public relations strategy goals. It should be as intriguing as a plot twist in a thriller. Get people thinking, sharing, and connecting on a deeper level.

Get Talking:

Design your PR icebreaker to get people mingling. It should be like they’re at the hottest after-party in town. Whether it’s one-on-one or in groups, the goal is to get the convo flowing.

Be PR Bold, Be Creative:

Don’t be afraid to shake your PR event up. Use props, tech, or a cheeky game. Think outside the box and inside the fun zone. For instance, an app or survey can match guests based on shared interests. This can spark spontaneous interactions. Games can change the space into a playground. Players work together in them to solve on-topic puzzles and meet challenges. They also give everyone a peep into the personalities in the room. 

Public Relations Swagger 

As the host, guide the event plan activity with the confidence of a popstar and the charm of a cowboy. Make sure everyone’s on board and ready to go.

Smooth Transition 

You’ve broken the ice at your public relations event, like a pro. Now slide into the main event management itinerary with grace. Use the energy and connections from the icebreaker to amp up the rest of the session.

There is a lot to plane can be there every step of the way so you can smile and enjoy. WHO? WAIT, WHAT? CALL? Billy Etc!
