PR prediction for 2013
“Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future.”
Niels Bohr (1885-1962)
But we try:
- The communication is becoming more and more complex, with PR playing a key role in the communication toolbox – not least because of the great credibility of editorial publications as opposed to purchased advertising placements and because of the excellent value-for-money.
- 360 degree communication is based increasingly on a good PR hook that can be applied to all the other communication disciplines.
- Online communication with its various facets remains the driving force in the communicative processes of change.
- Emotional events help brands boost positively.
- CSR is on the rise. Consumers expect companies, institutions and products which have moral integrity that allow identification.
- How to evaluate campaign results beyond the AVE (ad equivalent) remains an important issue, even though there are still many customers preferring this method as the easiest to follow.
- Customers choose PR agencies that are able to advise them to develop good hooks and stories that carry the company’s brand and philosophy and all related communication designs.
