In his 15 years of agency, corporate, nonprofit and solo experience, presenter Jason Sprenger has developed a world view of public relations that he's dubbed “The Umbrella Model of PR." In the model, PR is thought of as a holistic discipline in which any number of communications elements can come together to move an organization toward whatever high-level goal it’s trying to achieve. It integrates both the art and the science of communications, and explores how various PR strategies/tactics are inter-related and how they can work together to move organizations forward. What is this model, how does it work and how can it help us drive value and help our organizations achieve their biggest goals? Be a part of a discussion that has taken place and added value all over the nation the last couple of years: from Miami to Minneapolis, Orlando to Omaha, Laguna Beach to Las Vegas and more.
