The Future of PR Is Already Here  

arrow_drop_down_circle
Divider Text

 In just a few short years, the PR world of the past has been completely upended. The evidence is everywhere.​​​​​​​ 

arrow_drop_down_circle
Divider Text
Yes, traditional outlets still hold power, but non-traditional media is the new normal. Before it was about the WSJ and CNN. Now you need to consider podcasts, YouTube, Substack, and even TikTok.

​​​​​​​As a result, gatekeepers are shutting down. They’re swamped with pitches and tuning out most of their emails. Good luck if you have something great that they’d really want to hear… It’s harder than ever to dominate traditional media.
Meanwhile, AI has weakened our perceived value as professionals and made it easier for anyone to think they can “do PR.” Forget about persuading your boss or client that they should adopt your approach; now you have to convince them they shouldn’t “just use AI” to do it themselves.

​​​​​​​And if that weren’t enough, AI has also transformed how brands get found online. There’s a lot of talk about how GEO is the new SEO. But what AI search visibility mean for you? And how can you put it to work fast?​​​​​​
Fortunately, we’ve got all the answers you need and more in the Inner Circle.

NEW in the Inner Circle

for Fall 2025

The Inner Circle has always been the best place to dominate what's left of Traditional Media, and this year we've added Nontraditional Media to our toolkit.

Those two skills compound to enable you to shape AI search answers. You've heard all the buzz (some might say hype, and I might agree with them to a certain extent) around "GEO." But when you strip away the gloss, the reality is AI engines prefer objective, third-party sources. And guess who has the training and skills to influence those third-parties? Yep, you and I do. ​​​​​​​
When it comes to using AI to boost both productivity AND quality, the Inner Circle has always been ahead of the curve. We had our first Master Class on the topic in January of 2023, when most PR pros didn't even know what ChatGPT was.

​​​​​​​Now we're using AI tools to accelerate our impact so we have more space for judgment, strategic thinking, and creativity. Nobody will think about replacing you when you boil your job down to its most human elements.

 Meet Michael Smart, 

founder of the Inner Circle

Hi, I’m Michael.

For 25 years, I’ve been teaching, practicing, researching, and “anticipating” the PR industry. I’ve guided media relations professionals through major shifts, all the way back to the dawn of email-pitching, to the spread of social media, to the rapid advances of today’s AI-assisted PR.

I’ve watched some PR pros adapt to new changes and shift their careers into high gear. Sadly, I’ve also seen some who stay stuck in their ways and refuse to change. They struggle and get frustrated when what they’ve done in the past no longer works.

 Sound Familiar? I Hope Not. ​​​​​​​

If you’ve been feeling the pressure of change lately, then I probably don’t have to tell you this next part…

PR is moving faster than I’ve seen it go in decades, and more and more career pros are falling by the wayside.

That’s why I strongly believe the Inner Circle is more important than ever.

​​​​​​​I’ve spent thousands of hours using and testing PR best practices and studying and understanding each new development in our industry… all so you don’t have to.
Michael Smart, Creator of The Inner Circle for PR Pros Michael Smart, Creator of The Inner Circle for PR Pros

“The Best PR Learning And Networking
​​​​​​​Community In The World 

 The Inner Circle exists because I wanted to create a place where I could share all of my knowledge with anyone who wanted a shortcut.​​​​​​​ 

No more painful experimentation or confusion while you try to figure out what the latest development means for you. It’s all here, and it’s all included in your membership.

Now, 16 years after it first launched, the Inner Circle has grown into what I feel is the best PR learning and networking community in the world.

​​​​​​​Frankly, I feel it would be damaging to your career not to join.

​​​​​​​That’s why I guarantee that the Inner Circle is the best place for you to advance your PR career.
Here’s My Iron-Clad, No-Hassle Guarantee to You:
Join us for 30 days.
You’ll agree that Smart PR’s Inner Circle is the best PR community on the planet…
You’ll be absolutely satisfied with our incredible Master Classes, helpful monthly AMAs, vast Training Vault, and everything else inside…
And you’ll feel more confident and in control of your career, no matter what may come in the future…

or…


We’ll happily refund every penny of your investment.

I Hope You’ll Join Us,
​​​​​​​But Just in Case…​​​​​​​ 

If the Inner Circle isn’t right for you, that’s OK. Some PR pros exactly like you choose to join us, and some don’t.

Just promise me that whatever you choose, you’ll do something.

The head-spinning pace of change is getting faster every week, and it’s not slowing down any time soon.

That means you owe it to yourself to take action and do what’s best for your career.

If you’re thinking that might be the Inner Circle (and I sincerely hope you are) then I can’t wait to have you join us.

See you inside!
