PRINZ prepares to roll out the red carpet, announcing the finalists of its awards
By

It’s undeniable that the public relations industry is having a growing influence on the media industry, despite it not being in the forefront. Last month the New Zealand Herald recognised Deborah Pead, from Pead PR, as possibly Auckland’s most influential women, yet “she wields this influence so nicely that it is almost unnoticeable”. For media folk, it’s time to pay attention to the PR industry and with that, the Public Relations Institute of New Zealand (PRINZ) has announced the finalists to its 42nd annual industry awards.

Hotwire measures twice, cuts once with new PR framework
By

How to measure PR is an ongoing debate and this question was at the centre of a big review by the CAANZ Marcomms Leadership Group last year. And while advertising value equivalent (AVE) has been rejected in many other markets as outdated and insufficient, a survey conducted for Hotwire, the global integrated PR and communications agency, has shown that it’s still prevalent in Australia and New Zealand. So it’s doing its bit to address the issue with the launch of its own meausurement framework.
