It’s about making every piece of content, every media placement, every campaign really work – towards leads, growth, or whatever your business actually needs. We’ll break down the core building blocks of a modern PR mix – content, creative, media and social and show how to link them back to ROI. No waffle, no inflated promises. Just practical tactics, smart thinking and a clear way to measure what matters. If your PR isn’t delivering the right business impact, it’s time to face the music and learn to change the tune!
