In the PR industry, your ability to compose a compelling and results-oriented pitch is what will make or break you. That’s why co-founders Kevin Dugan and Richard Laermer created The Bad Pitch Blog, a blog dedicated to highlighting the worst pitches out there, in the hopes of calling out those who give us PR folk a bad name and better educating all of us on how to pitch properly.

Last night, I attended their 3 Year Anniversary Party @ Under The Volcano in New York. I had the pleasure of meeting both founders, as well as running into some of my favorite PR tweeps including @Andrew_Graham, @TiffanyPR, @MCaldecutt, and PRNewser Editor @JoeCiarallo.

Editors are encouraged to send in the worst pitches they’ve ever seen from the receiving end, and publicists can continue to read on, in the hopes that nothing they ever pitch will show up front row center .

Happy Anniversary BPB!
