How to build a solid PR strategy

Great PR relies on a solid strategy – otherwise it's impossible to know what tactics to use, what to say and what to measure.

This is no ordinary year. In the fallout of the global tailspin that was 2020, we're all having to reassess how we plan and deliver our comms. For most of us, that means reframing what our strategic goals look like – not an easy ask, with purses tightening and the world still in turmoil.

That's why we asked PRFest's Laura Sutherland and Spin Sucks' Gini Dietrich to help. Watch the Roundtable below.
