Each year public relations professionals and industry brands are carefully constructing pitches to describe a product to editors and the media in a way that will vividly illustrate the look and feel of it and immediately prompt a response in return. As with previous years, there are always key buzz words being used and Pierce Mattie Public Relations (www.piercemattie.com) has developed a list of the product descriptors best used to describe, pitch and sell your product in the lifestyle, beauty and fashion industries.
