Context, as you say, is very important. And when headlines operate without context, they need to convey meaning and grab attention. FROM THE INTENDED AUDIENCE. I think your headline will grab the attention of people interested in headlines.. but is this post for them or for PR people? Are they the same? Maybe : "If This Headline Doesn't Catch PR Professionals Attention, I Failed" would work better? Maybe: "Why PR Professionals Fail when writing headlines" or "Is your headlines causing your PR strategy to fail?" Sorry for being such a nit-picker .. :) .
