Today is Halloween. I was going through some old files and found an infographic I created back in 2014 – The Nine Circles of PR Hell. Since it is also a throwback Thursday, I decided to share it here as a bonus post.
Even back then, I had unethical behavior as the lowest circle of hell for PR professionals.
P.S. Thank you for making October the most popular month for Ethical Voices in our history.
