PR In the Public Sector FAQs
-
The public sector refers to organisations or bodies which are operated by the state and includes national and local government and government-funded health services. Public sector does not refer to voluntary organisations or charities.
-
Government PR or public sector PR tends to be highly strategic and planned. It often forms part of a bigger communications plan and can be delivered by multi-agency communication teams spanning different departments or organisations. Corporate PR is often more agile, particularly among SME’s which are smaller, less bureaucratic organisations.
-
Public sector organisations often face challenges relating to budget and timescales. Work is often procured at short notice and in-house teams often require immediate support. Budgets can be restrictive and procurement processes can be lengthy. Public sector organisations often have skills gaps in their in-house teams or require short-term cover to support an existing team or planned campaign.
