Mid-Year Check on PR Trends to Watch

It’s time for a mid-year check-in on PR trends. Has AI destroyed PR as we know it? Is TikTok the only social media channel that matters?Back in December, Bill Byrne of Remedy Public Relations and I discussed which PR trends we’d be keeping an eye on as we headed into the new year. Some of the trends we noted: AI in PR. The shrinking number of media outlets. How silos impact our work. The role the C-suite plays in the success of a PR program.So, where are we now? And what trends should we be watching as we enter the second half of 2025?I’m excited that my colleague Bill Byrne is joining me again.
