BA (Hons) English and Public Relations

Public relations moulds the public’s perception of an organisation, person or brand, through a brilliant mix of communicative strategies. Successful public relations can enhance an organisation’s reputation, boost its brand recognition, increase its competitiveness, and enhance its market share. Effective public relations can even turn around a flagging company, brand or personality.
