In PR, relationships are still paramount
If your agency values technology and technical know-how over building relationships, it’s not going to be as successful as those that do.
The practice of public relations is undergoing a monumental shift. The ever-evolving digital world is changing how we communicate. For many PR firms, keeping up with these changes can be a daunting task.
However, one thing in the PR industry remains the same. Simply put, it is about relationships.
