So, What Is PR In the Public Sector?
PR in the public sector is a highly specialised function, usually delivered over the long term by communications teams. In some public sector organisations, PR is managed in-house whereas other organisations outsource their PR function or seek bespoke support with specific projects.
Public sector PR practitioners understand the critical role of messaging, stakeholder engagement and a strategic approach. Insight, planning, development, evaluation and measurement are key components of any public sector PR activity.
How Can a Public Sector PR Agency Help?
A public sector-focused PR agency can help you with projects, campaigns and strategic positioning. An agency provides an extra pair of hands (or more) and the opportunity to tap into years of experience. Hiring an agency gives you confidence that your reputation and relationships are being well looked after. An agency will deliver demonstrable results and a skilled agency team can be embedded throughout your corporate communications whether it’s short or long term.
Why Is PR Important In the Public Sector?
PR helps public sector organisations and bodies maintain healthy relationships with their many audiences. Engaging in PR demonstrates transparency and openness and drives engagement, particularly within communities. PR can be used to educate, inform and shape public opinion.
