BYU has a PR problem

Completely agree. Which is surprising b/c the church typically handles PR well.

Yeah, you're being a bit kind. Silence is their/our friend.

BYU has lost (or losing) the SLC, Davis County market due to poor marketing/PR.
What_The_Hill?
12/7/17 1:39pm
Or due to the yewts improving and the proportion of LDS in those counties

Hardly...not beating your rival in a decade is much more of a factor

The church PR is Average at best - All BYU PR is terrible

For example, they've done a great job re: the BoM Musical.

Like a nice press release about Ty thanking him and saying he is always a part
BYUfan92
12/7/17 12:11pm
He hasn't been fired though...
Coug
12/7/17 12:14pm
You’re playing semantics - he was relieved and it was bungled
Jersey hunter
12/7/17 12:18pm
That's not the same as being fired...
Coug
12/7/17 12:24pm
Then sit on the information until you are ready to 'fill the vacuum' vs. letting
BoiseBlueCoug
12/7/17 2:48pm
Bungled? How? They announced he was fired. What more do you want?
SlantRoute
12/7/17 3:29pm
They didn't announce he was fired
SUAVO
12/7/17 5:27pm
When you’re the OC and then you’re not, you were fired.
SlantRoute
12/7/17 11:58pm
They're giving Detmer a chance to stay on the staff.

As somebody NOT in PR I agree with you - it seems we bungle a lot of things

And BYU has a top notch PR program. Turn the AD PR over to the Bradley Lab and they'd do a pretty good job. IMO
soupie
12/7/17 12:10pm
Very true - BYU PR alums are everywhere in top firms
Jersey hunter
12/7/17 12:13pm
As a BYU PR grad and PR guy for 20 years, this is very naive
NewYorkCougar
12/7/17 12:21pm
Bradley lab has faculty oversight with real corp clients but thanks for taking me so literally. Didn't really
soupie

Thank goodness.

12/7/17 12:34pm
I still wouldn't turn it over to them. You know what they say:
Turnpike Lane
12/7/17 12:35pm
Yes but many of the faculty did Do then came to BYU mid career. Also don't think it's a good idea
soupie
12/7/17 12:58pm
honest question: you think it would be worse than it is now?
Cougarclaw
12/7/17 12:53pm
Significantly. You wouldn't have PR advice coming from anyone
NewYorkCougar
12/7/17 1:12pm
You are correct - do you have any time to moonlight?
Jersey hunter
12/7/17 2:11pm
Agreed. Question for you....

That’s more marketing than PR - you sell benefits not features

it has been that way for 40 years....they seem to think it the right way to do

BoiseBlueCoug
12/7/17 2:53pm
I think the firing is the big PR problem. A short press release without any

Easily avoided by not hiring HC, OC and DC with no experience at their positions

It’s about time to change then - I’m tired of us looking inept

“There is no demand” for that

Yeah, let's aspire to be like a P5 program - like maybe UTennessee!! 🙂

It's a Mormon problem. Don't talk about it and hope it will go away.

What specifically would you do? Interview candidates before announcing that
Ulysses14
12/7/17 12:33pm
Not so granular - just talk about process and timing
Jersey hunter

Honestly, it's mostly just a handful of PR conscious people who care

This is true. A PR mentor of mine used to say:

Don't worry. I'm sure whoever manages PR for BYU is an outstanding Bishop.

BYU traditionally likes to handle everything behind closed doors.

No, it has a losing problem. Win games, and nobody will care about the rest.

BYU's relationship with the Church leads to some quirks

The blending of church and university adds a complex layer of politics you don't

As someone who also works in PR, you are very correct.
