As a PR Manager do you feel it would be great to have an independent experienced PR practitioner to work with you in drawing up an annual PR program that is capable of winning the endorsement of senior management?

Do you have a skeptical CEO and/or Marketing Director who questions whether PR, and the PR Department, is really contributing all that it could to the organisation?

If so Grant Common, the author of PR Influences, and the most prolific writer on PR practice in Australia over the past decade, may be the person you are looking for.

Grant is a senior independent corporate PR consultant with more than 30 years PR agency experience who has worked with PR Directors at multi-nationals, industry bodies, service firms, marketers and not-for-profits.

He offers a new type of advisory service exclusively for PR Directors and Managers who want to review or audit their PR Department structures and/or programs.

He can also help to introduce measurement and evaluation processes to PR programs.

Grant works collaboratively, and discreetly, to help PR Directors and Managers achieve their goals. There’s no commitment to long-term contracts or retainers. And because he is independent, and focused on advice, coaching and mentoring, his work doesn’t conflict with that undertaken by PR agencies.

As you will have seen by the content on PR Influences Grant has a deep and broad knowledge of, and thinks strategically about, public relations as a management tool.

He has written a number of articles about PR Department management.

Although Grant is based in Sydney, he’s available to work anywhere across Australia (or beyond if necessary).
