WELCOME!
CIPR Scotland Group Chair, Laura Sutherland
@laurafromaura
Its time we looked to future proof our
profession....new ways of reaching audiences have
developed in the last ten years, not least social media
which enables anyone to reach across the globe in a
couple of clicks.
This conference looks at routes to PR, team
structures, teaching and skills, leadership and how
we can push PR to the top of the agenda.
Feel free to tweet your thoughts!

ROUTES TO PR
Professor Jacquie LEtang and Dr. Mandy Powell

PR practitioners in central Scotland
PR Routes & Roots: hierarchical or
rhizomatic structure?
Enacting Communications Expertise Through Public Relations Practice
Professor Jacquie LEtang, Dr Magda Pieczka & Dr Mandy Powell
Media, Communications & Performing Arts

Bird, Plane or Superman?
 Who is senior and how is it made apparent?
 What is senior expertise?
 What knowledge and thinking underpins senior
expertise?
 An historical category
 Routes to seniority  from ugly duckling to swan
 Linear?
 Networked?
 A route map or an aporia (pathless path)?
What the doctor ordered?
 Project conceived as Knowledge Exchange  identifying a
need and working collaboratively to find solutions
 Designed initially as linear pathway: researchgap
analysisdiagnosisdesign and delivery of solutions
dissemination
 Abandoning the SatNav and the primrose path to
navigate complexity, aporia and re-entrants
Research methodology: where are the
gaps?
 literature review
 exploratory and pilot
 qualitative social science
 multi-level intervention: focus group, interview,
individual mentoring (co-creative)
 grounded theory
 coded and analysed in NVivo (data software tool)
From identifying deficits to mapping
assets
 from transmission to co-construction model
 knowledge about practice meeting knowledge in
practice through dialogue
 dialogue as deliberative space
 participation not imposition
 person, practice and social world
Towards authentic and autonomous
professional education: Communities
of Practice
(a) from networks to knotworks
(b) importance of horizontal and multidirectional
connections in human lives (rhizomatic structures)
(c) simultaneous vertical (cognitive) and horizontal (social)
movements enacted through participation in work
(d) professional learning as shift from peripheral
participation to becoming increasingly complex and
engaged
Towards authentic and autonomous
professional education: Reflexivity
(a) from calculative problem solving to meditative thinking
(b) opening ourselves to the exploration of tensions and
recognising identity as ephemeral
(c) being more responsive to different ways of thinking and
acting (unbecoming)
(d) commitment to open debate, to problematise language,
truth claims and universal explanations
(e) tension between professional practices and
organisational structures
PR professional bodies: fit for purpose?
I just dont think the profession has sufficiently
communicated itself as an actual generator of ideas as
opposed to the seller of ideas.
... to some extent the industry in Scotland as well as
elsewhere is guilty of and to some extent perpetuating a
very narrow perception of what PR is ...
... Im not sure ... its not a matter of going on a course ...
sometimes it is literally lived breadth of experience ...
[and] quite a depth of knowledge.
I mean I had probably thought the CIPR would have more
of a space for that [reflexive practice]. I dont find that
they have.
Theorising/Towards a systematic
understanding of learning in PR work
...
 where are the communities of practice practitioners
participate in and learn from?
 how do practitioners learn to think?
 what strategies do they use to analyse their practices?
 how is this supported? (and by who? whose
responsibility?)
 where and what is the role of specialised knowledge?
Futures?
 Shift focus from skills to thinking processes and critical
reflexivity
 The hidden value of senior PR knowledge/thinking that
underpins expertise
 Transformative engagement in safe spaces to facilitate self-
understanding
 Formulating senior PR knowledge and expertise for
developmental purposes
 Partnership working between senior practice, professional
bodies and senior academics e.g. practitioner-in-residence;
academics to work-shadow in practice.
Professional doctorates, advanced modules, academic
mentoring

A strategy for a Future PR Team
Four part approach
 Review and revise our messages for digital edges
 Understand better how influence flows in this new world
 Tell stories made for a digital world
 Engagement: preparing for the big challenge
Revise and revise our messages
for digital edges
 Edges are the angles that cut
through
 They need to be honed regularly
 Is it still attractive and coherent to
digital culture?
 Digital culture
 Tries first
 Comments first
 Dis-proportionate content creators
 Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells replaced
by Digital of TechCity?
Using comms plans to pick the right stuff from
the digital smorgasbord
Create content
Pick channels
Tune timing
Handle interaction
2. Understand better how influence
flows in this new world
 Develop strong insight into digital behaviour of our stakeholders and
their relation to digital culture demographics.

PAID MEDIA = I buy my space I say what I want

Marketing has Flipped
Well, it will do over the next few years.
The Skill of EARNED can be applied to PAID and OWNED
Any piece of content could be a catalyst
If it is designed to be
Battleground
Who creates the catalysts?
Do we design them or just PR them?
CMO test: Define PR Skill
Reputation Management?
Comms?
Publicity? (in print editorial?)
Spin?
The relationship between a brand
and its publics?
Internal Structures
Big brand organisations have been built around advertising for the last 50
years
They have not been built for the next 50 years
Who is Lead Agency?
Advertising has lead for 50 years (and are trying to adapt to keep
CONTROL).
Ad agencies serve 2 functions:-
1. Brand Strategy and Creativity (big talent ECD, ESD)
2. Short Film making (Content)
Strategy, Creativity or Activation?
Activation Areas:
PR (publicity)
Social
UX
Digital Build
Content
Experiential

CSR
POS
DM
Whos in control?
We need to differentiate between Strategy,
Creativity and Activation
Earned Media Strategy
Earned Media Creativity
Influencer ID
PR (publicity)
Social
Experiential
UX
Our DNA
Why will they care?
Why will they share?
Give PR a Makeover
Own the skill of 3rd party influence across ALL channels
Own the skill of Story Creation and Placement
Own the skill of Influencer Marketing
Own the metrics of Cost to Engagement
Own an ECD and ESD
Own Earned Media
Be LEAD agency

Talent
 Invest in credible talent on a par with Adland
 Who can you put around the table in a head to head?
 We recently hired Tessa Barrera, former Global Head of Social for Red Bull
to run our social business
Stay on speed
 What is working, what is not?
 Know New Campaigns, New Technology, New Trends
 We have a creative hub that is updated every day. It contains at least 200
case studies from around the world that out entire agency must LEARN
 Everyone must SHAG!
Data
 Metrics are dead, long live data
 Give them a dashboard
 Enable them to crow  easily
Educate
 Help clients with their own careers
 Pick your battles
 Be bold and go to the top (if you are ready)
 Save them money
Keep evolving
Transient Dogmatism
The Stakes
Increasing and Significant Earned Media Budgets
Decreasing PR Budgets
Money where my mouth is

LEADERSHIP
Lead the way and others will follow. CIPR has a duty
to set professionals standards but how can get into
the boardroom?
David Watt, Director, IOD Scotland talks us through
some top-line research we carried out with IOD
members and discusses leadership
Help, Support and Develop Directors
and provides:
- A range of services & facilities
- Events & Contacts
- Lobbying & Representation
- Professional Development
IoD in Scotland exists to:
IoD Core Activity
Companies
Third Sector
Public Sector
Scotlands future
Competent Boards and NXDs are key for:
Boards have to know about 
Corporate Governance
Legislation
 Fiduciary behaviour
Health and Safety
Bribery
Compliance
Commerce
Industry specific knowledge
Boards have to know about 
Strategy
Environment
Social media
Politics
Risk
HR
 Etc., Etc.
and
Now you want to add PR!!!
CIPR/IoD research
89% believe comms integral
56% dont have comms or PR person at senior/board level
Reports 
34% to CEO
12% to wider board
23% to marketing director
12% to senior management team
CIPR/IoD research
45% say it is on board agenda
Only 33% saying occasionally on agenda
Only 1/3 of Directors regularly taking comms advice
77% media trained
70% robust plan for crisis but one third have nothing!
Boards should be on top of 
Reputation
Image
Corporate Governance  in practice
Crisis planning
Business Continuity
and they need help to do it!
A Good NXD is:
A critical friend  a sceptical ally
Strategic thinker
An expert in something you need
Not the same as you
Understands the context
NXDs have to know about:
Risk
Vision
H&S
Values
HR
Compliance
Finance
Social Media
Strategy etc. etc. etc.
Especially know what they dont know!
So can CIPR members help?
-Get involved
-Push your expertise and worth
-Join the IoD
-Get trained
-Move outside your comfort zone
Get on Board!
They need your skills  they just dont know it!
CIPR AFTER THE REFERENDUM
Alastair McCapra, Phil Morgan, David Watt and
Stephen Penman lead the panel. Your input is
required!
What if anything will change?
What sectors will be affected the most?
How will it change our approach to do business?
Does it possess an opportunity for Scottish-based
PR companies?
Will Scotland be an international hub like London?
