4 PR lessons from ‘Modern Family’

This story first appeared on PR Daily in May, 2015. With a cast of hilarious characters and creative, comedic scenarios, it is no surprise that the television show “Modern Family” has become a favorite of many TV viewers. Amid the laughs and Cameron’s outrageous costume changes, the characters deliver important life lessons which public relations professionals can apply to their work. Here are a few of my favorite takeaways from the award-winning series:

1. “There are dreamers and there are realists in this world. You’d think the dreamers would find the dreamers and the realists would find the realists, but more often than not the opposite is true. You see, the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun. And the realists, well without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground.” – Cameron Tucker
