Back in August of this year
a survey by Big Mouth Media reported that out of 100 UK PR firms, 79% did not have dedicated online PR services and could be missing out on an opportunity. It now seems that the market hasn't moved much further on.
A new
Econsultancy Online PR Industry Benchmarking report, based on a survey of 300+ marketers & PR folks in the UK states that:
Online PR is still clearly viewed as a specialist and technical PR function by many respondents.
If companies outsource their Online PR to agencies or specialists, the breakdown is as follows:
- 51% use PR agencies
- 29% search marketing agencies
- 22% web development agencies
I therefore think the picture is still far from clear right now. Whilst some PR agencies have obviously risen to the challenge, others are happy to let web-specific agencies eat their lunch.
