New Study Reveals The Impact of Technology in Revolutionising PR Roles
Research conducted by Mynewsdesk and Berghs School of Communication into the state of digital PR has revealed that over 85% of PR professionals expect the focus on PR technology to increase over the next five years.
The results also found that 63% of PR professionals expect their roles will evolve to become more strategic, analytical (50%) and creative (40%).
Over 2,500 PR professionals in eight countries took part in the survey. Respondents work in local, regional and global PR firms across 17 different industries including media and entertainment, business services, software and internet, government, and non-profits.
The results of the survey are being compiled in a three-part e-book series due to be published between December 2016 and March 2017.
Berghs School of Communication Program Director, Tor Löwkrantz, said:
“We are witnessing a deep communication transformation, from interruption to involvement. This development could signify the victory of the ‘PR mindset’ over the ‘ad mindset’ at many organisations.”
PR and marketing professionals who want to learn more about what their peers have to say – and more importantly, how they can improve their digital PR programmes – will benefit from a series of three e-books produced by Mynewsdesk in co-operation with Berghs School of Communication.
“Advances in technology will only grow exponentially, and significantly affect the way our audiences receive and respond to our messaging. That’s why now is a critical time for PR professionals to be proactive in responding to and preparing for the emerging changes in the foreseeable future as well as the long term.” - says Mynewsdesk executive Jonathan Bean, Chief Marketing Officer.
The first e-book sets the stage for the digital PR revolution and will be released December 15th, with the second and third e-books following in the coming months, January 24th and February 21st.
Sign-up for the PR Revolution e-book series to discover more of the challenges, opportunities, and solutions to effectively adapt in this new world of PR.
