Working Smarter: Embracing Outcomes in the Era of AI

A webinar for aspiring agency leaders

The PR industry has not come to terms with the issue of measurement and evaluation, despite the wealth of resources available. With clients refusing to pay for this important step, agencies are left using old-fashioned, outdated metrics and failing to secure larger budgets. 

However, the adoption of AI technologies is bringing about the death of hourly billing rates and ushering in value-based pricing based on outcomes. 

In this webinar, PR agency veteran and measurement guru Jon Meakin equips ambitious agency pros with the knowledge they need to adapt and thrive by embracing outcomes over hours.
