Press Release

Technavio Announces the Publication of its Research Report – Global Public Relations Market 2016-2020

Technavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the global public relations market: DJE, IPG, Omnicom, Publicis, and WPP.

Other prominent vendors in the market are: APCO, Coyne PR, Bell Pottinger, Dentsu, FTI Consulting, Havas, Hopscotch Group, Huntsworth, KREAB, Mikhailov & Partners, MMWPR, Prain Global, Ruder Finn, W2O, and WE.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio’s team said: “One of latest trends in the market is adoption of programmatic PR in digital medium. Programmatic advertising involves buying and selling online advertising display inventory through a bidding process. This process allows advertisers to bid for an online inventory that best fits their buyer profile. The audience response is predicted to calculate the floor price for advertising in a specific inventory. Various vendors in the marketplace help advertisers regulate bidding costs automatically, based on the profile of the viewers.”

According to the report, one of the primary drivers in the market is increased innovative tactics. The PR firms that are growing at a faster rate than the growth rate of the global PR market owe their growth to the increased use of innovative strategies. These firms understand the needs of their clients and have doubled down on innovative strategies such as reputation management, strategic integration, analytics, and social enterprise and have increased investments in a deep study of various industry sectors and practices. By implementing innovative tactics, they strive to become a complete communication entity. Some of the prominent innovations used by them include TrueIQ, a social analytics tool and content command center, and the Authenticity Gap, which provides true insights on reputation and brand image.

Further, the report states that one major challenge in the market is rapidly declining print medium. The demand for print media is declining due to high adoption of the digital medium. Classified ads, which were considered as one of the major sources of revenue in the print medium, could not compete with craigslist. Craigslist is a free service that provided a new model for classified ads using the digital medium. Due to this, major print vendors such as Time and New York Times significantly cut down on their budgets on the print segment in 2008. The advent of e-papers and e-magazines has also affected the sales of newspapers and magazines adversely. With print being the leading segment, contributing 50% to the global PR market, the declining sales of newspapers and magazines pose a significant challenge to the market, considering digital media does not create the same credibility as print media.
