Richard Branson quote

As Bill Gates, Chairman of Microsoft was once quoted: “If I was down to my last dollar, I would spend it on public relations.”

When it comes to PR, it’s not always seen as a necessity for most businesses, and is usually also the first thing to go in lean times. This is often because PR comes down to people either buying in to it, or not. PR is not a tangible item, can be difficult to measure and often gets replaced for an extra member of staff or something which the accountant can financially quantify like multi-coloured bean bags and designer coffee machines.
