Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between PR and communications?

PR specifically focuses on reputation management, media relations and public perception. Communications is broader, encompassing internal communications, corporate affairs and information flow. Many roles combine both, and terminology varies by organisation.

Both bring value. Agency professionals often have diverse client experience, fast execution skills and creative campaigns thinking. In-house professionals understand organisational context deeply and build long-term stakeholder relationships. We help determine the best fit.

Effective crisis communicators remain calm under pressure, think clearly when stakes are high, draft messaging quickly and accurately, understand legal and regulatory considerations, coordinate multiple stakeholders and provide confident counsel to senior leaders.

We discuss their approach to developing PR strategies, evaluate past campaigns they’ve led, assess their understanding of measurement and outcomes, and explore how they’ve counselled senior stakeholders through complex communication challenges.

PR or communications degrees are common but not essential. Many successful PR professionals come from journalism, marketing, public affairs or related fields. Demonstrated PR experience, strategic thinking and relationship-building capability matter most.

PR Advisors typically earn $70-95K, PR Managers $100-140K, and Head of PR/Reputation roles $150-200K+. Agency and corporate sectors have different structures, and we provide current market benchmarks during briefings.
