Product Description

Product Description

This innovative and popular text provides a clear pathway to understanding public relations campaigns and other types of strategic communication. Implementing the pragmatic, in-depth approach of the previous editions, author Ronald D. Smith presents a step-by-step unfolding of the strategic campaign process used in public relations practice. Drawing from his experience in professional practice and in the classroom, Smith walks readers through the critical steps for the formative research, strategic and tactical planning, and plan evaluation phases of the process.

Offering clear explanations, relevant examples, and practical exercises, this text identifies and discusses the decision points and options in the development of a communication program. The cases and examples included here explore classic public relations situations as well as current, timely events. This third edition includes expanded discussions of ethics, diversity, and technology integrated throughout the text, and has a new appendix addressing media training for clients.

As a classroom text or a resource for professional practice, this volume provides a model that can be adapted to fit specific circumstances and used to improve effectiveness and creativity in communication planning. It serves as an accessible and understandable guide to field-tested procedures, offering practical insights that apply to public relations campaigns and case studies coursework.

Straight Forward, Wonderfully Written, Great Resource 5 May 2012
By Tara - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really love the tone this book is written in. It's totally easy to understand and because of that, it's easy to learn from. It breaks down information in the written form and with the use of visuals. There are recaps and examples throughout all of the chapters as well. I'll be keeping this as a resource for years to come.

Best Book on COMPLAN Development 30 Jan 2010
By C. Coleman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Easily the best PR textbook I've come across. The excerpts of award-winning communications plans in the appendix serve to illustrate concepts discussed and explained in the text. If I could ask for more, I'd like more case studies included.

Quick delivery & good quality PR text book 7 Feb 2010
By S. Green - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I ordered 'Strategic Planning for Public Relations' via Amazon.com and the item was shipped to me from the US very quickly. I didn't expect to receive it as soon as I did. The price was affordable and the quality of the text book was in good condition with minimal highlighting etc. This all makes for sufficient use in my studies. Overall, I'm very happy with this product.
