A publicist is a person whose job is to generate and manage
publicity for a public figure, especially a celebrity, a business, or for a
work such as a book, film or album. Most top-level publicists work in
private practice, handling multiple clients.
In the world of celebrities, unlike agents or managers, publicists typically
take a monthly fee for serving a client (whereas agents and managers tend to
take a percentage of their client's gross income). Publicists can be at
local, regional or national level. They can also have special expertise in
areas such as entertainment or literary publicity.
One of the publicist's main functions is to generate press coverage on
behalf of clients and to serve as the bridge between clients, their public
and media outlets. A publicist writes press releases, manages campaigns and
performs other public relations functions. It usually takes many years to
develop the media contacts, experience and relationships necessary to be an
effective publicist. (source wikipedia)
