PR reps on the field just got another tool in their belt with the release of a BlackBerry compatible version of the Vocus On-Demand PR software. The new software is available for free for all current Vocus customers. I personally know how PR reps are always on the go and this new mobile version could provide a real benefit for generating leads and developing relationships with reporters. Check out the full press release at this link or read the highlights below:
