The Future of the PR Industry

The issues surrounding the future of the PR industry have been the subject for discussion amongst commentators and industry participants for some time.


To address the most important areas in PR, the PRCA has worked with a number of senior practitioners on "The Future of the PR Industry" project, to produce a definition and scope for the PR industry for the next 20 years.
 

The project was officially presented at the 2012 PRCA National Conference in November. Below you will find the videos and slides of all the presentations. Please take your time to watch the videos and read the slides, as we will be asking you and your colleagues to vote on the top recommendations for our upcoming publication of the project's findings.
