In the short video ‘The Break up’ (available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3qltEtl7H8), a man and a woman meet up in a restaurant, where the woman announces that she wants a divorce from him, although he has no clue what the reasons are for the divorce.
It shows the relationship between the advertiser who has gone off and done his own thing and the client who is not impressed that the things he is doing doesn’t seem to be in the best interest to her.
In my opinion, PR practitioners and agencies need to be careful to take into account the client’s view of things in a Cross-Media world. The quote ‘I’ve changed, but you have not’ sums up the fact what the PR industry needs to be able to adapt to client requirements as well as keep up with new media, otherwise it will end up just like in the video.
It also reminds me of Mark Borkowski in his talk last month. He claimed that a ‘generation of PRs will die if they do not accept the new media’.
This leaves us to think about the importance of new media in the PR industry, as well as what clients want and whether it is possible to sell them ideas using the Cross-Media way.
