Today on the PRmoment Podcast I'm talking to Mark Inskip, CEO of Kantar UK’s Media Division about its research revealing the challenges to the comms industry in 2021.
According to the research, there are three big challenges facing the sector today:
- The sheer volume of stakeholders comms professionals need to engage with
