Always the bridesmaid, never the bride

That’s PR

The jury is out on the sagacity of spending our way out of a recession. No matter which view you take, there are some smart moves for your money which will put you ahead by a country mile when the climate improves.

Public relations grew up in the shadow of advertising and the old fashioned view is that it is still second-best - the poor man’s option, perhaps.

No matter how challenged your marketing budget, now could not be a better time to put your pounds into PR - an excellent investment when times are tough, and even when they’re not.
