No honourable, ethical agency or counsel should be sycophantic to you when you have hired them to be honest, constructive and upfront with you. All requests for action you make of your agency, whether by phone, face-to-face or Skype should be confirmed by them in writing. Your agency fails to deliver on its reporting and measurements.

Most schools offer the basic courses such as Introduction to PR, Writing, Research, Campaigns, Case Studies, and Crisis Communications. I resonate with what Valerie Simon tweeted, “A good PR education can change the way you research, question, plan and measure!” How has your PR education prepared you for your career?

Right now, the biggest focus is on writing and presenting content for mobile consumption. Embedded IoT systems will likely become as ubiquitous as workplace email and instant messaging and like them, will create a long trail of data, creating a whole new set of ethical and legal responsibilities.

You’ve got to write 150 words (a minimum of 50 under three different headings) for every CPD activity.
