PR as a Lead Generation Tool

Why attend?: Digital communications have changed the remit of public relations. At this event we'll explore how digital communications are used as a business development tool. We will also examine the tension between using communications to sell product, versus the wider remit of retaining and enhancing the reputation of the company.
