Thus, I watched the Harris-Trump debate with two things in mind: 1) to see if any PR lessons from it could be applied to non-political accounts, and 2) if intensive media training, which agencies suggest at a high cost to clients, are worth the price, because for weeks leading up to the debate the subject of how the candidates were preparing for it was a recurring topic for pundits.

By Michelle M. Johnson
PRNEWS - September 10, 2024

To gain the upper hand, B-Rabbit uses three effective tactics: highlighting his opponent's outsider status, preemptively addressing his own weaknesses and revealing his opponent's true identity. These strategies offer insights for anyone preparing for a debate, interview or press conference, especially when entering as the underdog. We took a look at some of this reputational prep in consideration, apropos another upcoming presidential debate.
