Tips, thoughts and the latest happenings in broadcast PR and general PR. The Shout! Communications’ blog keeps our followers up-to-date about what’s happening on television, online and on radio.

Recognise this scenario? You’ve come up with a cracking campaign idea, you’ve got the perfect spokesperson, coverage has been going well, but your video isn’t delivering.

Broadcast PR can result in some fantastic results for brands, companies and organisations – but competition for air time is tight and opportunities are hard won.
