APG PR Planning

Welcome to the APG PR Planning page – home of planning in PR agencies.

More and more PR agencies, from consumer, corporate, public affairs and financial PR have people doing planning.

And a bunch of them are working with APG to build a PR planning community.

We’ve had two great kick-off events and we’re working on more. But in the meantime this page has the story so far.

You can view the presentation from our latest event 'What Makes Great PR Planning?' here
