Beyond Spin

People know when they are being

sold to (and sometimes they like it!)

But we are all a lot older and wiser

and nobody likes having their

intelligence insulted (‘the middle-

aged doubt everything.’ O. Wilde)

Businesses (and others) need to

restore trust, and PR will play a key

role in doing so

Go Further

MR is not just for press releases:

Use comparisons (e.g.: Irish survey

equivalent of existing international

surveys you don’t have to pay for!)

Use trends (people like a story)

Make a commitment (tune in for

next month’s/quarter’s/year’s

findings)

Use a partner (co-credibility)

Think big: it’s cheaper than you

think to do international research ...
