Unleashing the Power of PR by Mark Weiner
Using dozens of case studies from well-known companies such as General Electric, FedEx, Procter & Gamble, Merck, Boeing, and Intel, Delahaye president and public relations scientist Mark Weiner offers a research-based model for creating and implementing public relations programs that will generate desired results and improve an organization’s ROI. Written as a highly accessible hands-on guide, Unleashing the Power of PR explains how to use market research methods to plan and evaluate public relations programs scientifically. The author explores the benefit of learning to speak to senior executives in a way that will improve communications and ultimately help strengthen PR performance and results. In addition, the book debunks common myths—such as “PR is impossible to measure!”—that undercut the effectiveness of PR and obscure its real value.
Weiner… has left no stone unturned here; issues relating to audits, return on investment, new media and shifting objectives are brought forthWhile that might seem very technical, Weiner's language is user-friendly and he carefully explains every aspect of the subject to avoid confusion. …Weiner's observations are peerless and his considerations set a new standard for the field.
