PR Moment features IHPRC
Posted on 03. Jul, 2010 by Tom Watson in Conference, News
The UK’s PR Moment website has featured the International History of Public Relations Conference in its latest edition. We also contributed a light-hearted ‘History of PR’ time line to it. Thanks to Ben Smith and Daney Parker of PR Moment for their interest and support.
There’s already been a flow of interest arising from the feature which has led to one of our highest daily “hits” on this site.
