Summary:

Today, every business operates in a data driven marketplace – none more so than PR consultancies.

And that means facing, and operating, in a minefield of rules and regulations. Consultancies not aware of those potential pitfalls could face regulatory actions and significant fines.

Being aware of the challenges and regulatory frameworks will protect your consultancy’s reputation and that of your clients, not to mention the financial wellbeing of your business.
