Summary:

Advertising agencies are brilliant at coming up with memorable messages which stay in our minds and change our perceptions. PR agencies are less skilled in this area, and it’s a problem. The heart of a PR programme which changes behaviour is – just as in advertising – a strong, sticky message.
This webinar offers tried-and-tested techniques for generating creative messages that work. Some are drawn from the world of advertising, others from best practice in UK and US PR companies. All will help PRCA members overcome the problem of media messages which clients like but which don’t achieve cut-through with media and stakeholder audiences.
