Assessing the impact of COVID-19 on the PR industry
PRCA have published research revealing the impact of the outbreak on the PR industry. The survey gathered the views of nearly 200 PR professionals between 11th and 15th of March. The findings revealed:
33% believed the industry was underprepared for the outbreak.
Remote working policies (62%) and event cancellations (58%) were the most common responses to the crisis taken by organisations.
30% of people believed their organisations have made good progress on their communications plans as a result of CVOID-19.
17% of organisations have not taken any precautions whatsoever as a result of the outbreak.

The Institute of Public Relations (IPR) has conducted a survey of 300 communications executives around the globe between 5 -10 March to get an understanding of how prepared businesses were for COVID-19, and how they are handling the impact.
Use The Global Network
In these uncertain times, networks become more important. Cooperation, exchange of information, and ideas are essential. ICCO, along with our association members, are urging organisations across the world to contribute any ideas, strategies, surveys, or advice that could be useful for others to learn from, whether members or non-members. Thanks for your support, wash your hands and take of eachother!
