With the blurring of lines among creativeindustries, organisations are increasingly turning to PR to generate the \'bigideas\' at the heart of effective communication.This volume gathers 12 outstanding contributions from scholarsbased in Germany, Finland, Austria, Romania, the UK, Spain, France, Norway,Turkey and the USA. Taken together, the chaptersdemonstrate a range of possibilities for creative thinking about publicrelations management and collaboration in different settings and with differentpurposes.
