F*ck Off, Chloe!: Surviving the OMGs! and FMLs! in Your Media Career

Description

A laugh-out-loud account of working in media! Public relations' snarkiest publicist Jeremy Murphy expertly chronicles his hatred, love, indifference, amusement, and scorn for the profession in F*ck Off, Chloe!. From entitled millennials to surly reporters, obnoxious clients, and cumbersome, color-coded "trackers," Murphy takes a scalpel and glass of Chateauneuf-du-Pape to the PR industry in a searing, hilarious, and pissy voice that his own psychiatrist finds "deeply concerning." His collection of annoyances shed light on the industry's idiosyncrasies, insanities, contradictions, and past due invoices, providing an illuminating window into the dirty world of public relations not even Xanax can help. Complementing the scathing prose are color-in illustrations by artist Darren Greenblatt, creator of the "Ugly Lives of Beautiful People" sketch series.

Founder of 360bespoke, a respected boutique PR agency in New York, Murphy handles a full roster of clients in the lifestyle, beauty, fashion, and start-up fields.
