ATTENTION PUBLIC RELATIONS AGENCies
Every company joining as a CP must fill out an application. When applying for different companies, a unique username and email address is required for each company, even if the same person is the PR rep for each company. If necessary, consider setting up email accounts through Gmail or Yahoo before applying.
Example: John Smith is the rep for four companies. He uses different usernames, such as JSCompanyName, using his initials with each company name. Then he sets up email accounts the same way JSCompanyName@gmail.com. He then sets the emails for each (free) account to forward all emails to his primary email address.
