The PR industry is experiencing changes in response to new technology, expansion of new communication channels and greater use of data analytics, with the strength of the digital spend continuing to be the major growth driver of the PR industry overall. However, PR firms are facing a talent crunch with a lack of resources to meet the growing needs for diverse talents across mediums, resulting in buyers opting for digital agencies over PR agencies.
Recent expansions of PR agencies reflect a trend that indicates that buyers are looking at reducing roster size and want to have global contracts with incumbents. Relevant trends affecting the PR market till 2020 include specialized agency engagement, digital PR, talent crunch management and performance-based compensation.
The research methodology adopted for the report included:
As expectations increase for demonstration of return on investment for all communications spending, there has been (and will continue to be) an increased focus on measurement and evaluation, where most of the buyers are investing 5–7 percent of their PR budgets in measurement. Big spenders in the CPG, BFSI, and pharmaceutical industries are consolidating their spend and service lines to increase their negotiation power based on the volume of business.
