We’ve all become familiar with the term HR Business Partner, meaning a professional who aligns people strategy with business strategy. So why doesn’t PR position itself that way, as a strategic function with deep expertise, aligning communication strategy to business success?
In this expert session for business leaders and communication practitioners alike, you will learn how an evidence-based approach to activity and campaign performance can elevate PR in the boardroom; and transform it into a strategically aligned role that supports top-level objectives and contributes to the bottom line.
