As Hollywood’s historic double strike puts virtually all press and promotion opportunities centered around actors and writers on pause, personal publicists have been left in a lurch — forcing small and midsize PR firms to pivot their strategies to survive.
These firms are finding they need to shift to non-SAG-AFTRA clients and projects. And some will be forced to find partners or merge to stay in business, veteran publicists and experts tell TheWrap.
