The Measure of Public Relations - Presentation to the PRII February 2010

Research is good for PR. This presentation to the Public Relations Institute of Ireland examines the use and abuse of market research in public relations. It sets out market research 'do's and don'ts' for PR consultants and their clients, with examples of best practice from Ireland and abroad. It also challenges the value and validity of 'pseudo-research' in an age of text messaging and twitter. Research isn't just for press releases. The presentation assesses the state of PR effectiveness: both in terms of its measurement and in terms of delivering value for clients when budgets are under pressure.

A copy of the presentation is available here.
