“Whether you are a seasoned PR professional, or just starting out, this
book provides valuable insights that teach and refresh the essential
planning skills.”

"Instead of focusing on antiquated and irrelevant industry history or
arcane and useless theory, professor Hagley has chosen to tackle one of
the most important and misunderstood topics in public relations.
"This book should be required reading for students and veteran
practitioners alike.
"Ask 10 practitioners from 10 different agencies their definition of a
goal, objective and strategy -- the fundamental components of a PR plan
-- and you are likely to get 10 different answers. Writing
Winning Proposals provides a great framework for consistency that
should be a great benefit to any aspiring public relations
professional."
