#PRaisethePR: Conversations with leading PR voices

One of the topics will be the key role of PR as media liaison in ensuring advertising and brand stories reach critical public and business attention.

The forthcoming Biz Content Feature #PRaisethePR aims to give those usually tasked with managing the reputations of others, the chance to shine a light on their own reputation and to track the contributions of PR to marketing success.

Under discussion will be PR’s role in the ‘persuasion business’; PR as a tool for strategic communications with the public; PR as storytelling; the meeting point of advertising and PR; how marketers can get the best ROI on advertising communication budgets, PR and the new media and PR’s seat at the table.
