Although it may be obvious, Public Relations (PR) as a discipline is shifting along with the landscapes in which they work. While it is not immune to disruption, at it’s core PR or ‘Communications’ remains a multidisciplinary field, focused on developing and executing key messaging that’s aligned to a clearly defined outcome. This includes media relations, thought leadership, crisis communication, financial or investor relations, corporate social responsibility, amongst other things.

The dividing lines between the communications and marketing function are starting to blur as more companies rely on the insights derived from data and analysis to build an integrated marcomms strategy. Across the globe, we’re seeing these once siloed teams come together to create more impactful and measurable campaigns – and we only have data and Insights to thank.
While we can all acknowledge that there are many hard lessons to be learned from 2016, from a Marketer’s standpoint, one in particular stands out for me. The nature of traditional media and social media becoming two contrasting superpowers that must be wielded with collaboration and caution.
