-What is a publicist? A Publicist is a person whose job is to manage almost everything for either a movie or a song for a public figure, or a public person. A Publicist is also the person who hires the managers and fires them as well. Almost every month a publicisthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures has a new client, they get their job done in a month!! That’s a lot of work, for only getting 3,000$-5,000$ per month per client. Which that is not worth all of the hard work that they put into each and every movie and, or book.// -A Publicist has a major role in the movie business.
