CONTENTS
It’s been four years since I left my job at a multi-national public relations firm and joinedthe Council of Public Relations Firms. In those few years, there has been a sea-change inthe public relations business and the pressure is on both agency and client executives. The
opportunities, however, are enormous.
One of the greatest changes in the last four years has taken place with media: print media isconsolidating, online media is expanding and the traditional 30-second television spot isgiving way to more creative efforts such as product promotions embedded in story lines,direct-to-consumer online outreach and other integrated marketing efforts. Immediate,worldwide news reporting is revolutionizing traditional media, and ushered in the era ofbloggers and self-appointed citizen journalists. RSS feeds bring us personalized news that themorning paper simply cannot deliver. These changes in media have added new dimensions tothe planning and implementation process of public relations campaigns. But what hasn’tchanged is our ability to effectively communicate with and educate myriad constituencies – beit one person, or one million people.
Procurement was not in our vocabulary four years ago. It was something the “’materials”managers had to worry about. Today, the procurement, or sourcing, manager is an additionalclient. At the more progressive companies, procurement assists the process with a focus onclearly defined objectives; at less enlightened organizations, procurement’s focus on the lowestprice can often be short sighted and detrimental to the intended purpose.
The years 2001- 2003 were difficult for the agency business; 2004 was better. However, lastyear was a stronger year for most members. Those who responded to our end-of-2005 QuickSurvey indicated that business was up about 12%. This corresponds to the Veronis SuhlerStevenson Industry Forecast that projects a 9% compound annual growth rate for publicrelations through 2009. With growth and relevance comes responsibility. We are poised todevelop guidelines and best practices to address industry needs, such as the “Statement ofPrinciples” developed last year and downloaded over 6,000 times from the website.
As an industry we have the ability and resourcefulness to influence the way public relations isviewed. Innovation, creativity and integration are top of mind with clients. I believe no othercommunications discipline is better equipped to help clients achieve all three. Public relationsprofessionals are true integrators. We reach out and touch a multitude of key audiences and wealso bring the outside world in to clients. The Council enters 2006 energized by its mission, andfocused on delivering this message for its members.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Harris Diamond
FROM THE 2005 CHAIRMAN
Dear Fellow Council Members:
Thank you for the opportunity to serve as the 2005 Chair of the Council of PublicRelations Firms. It was a strong year for the industry, growth-wise, and certainly for theCouncil, which continued to solidify its leadership role.
The Council re-asserted itself last year, emerging stronger and with a clearer sense ofpurpose. This organization has an increasingly critical role to play in today’s dynamicmarketplace. Whenever new issues emerge, public relations firms need a vigilant andresponsive organization to represent their interests.
This is a great time for public relations because I believe it fills an important role in today'scorporate climate. At no time in history has public relations had a more prominent seat atthe table. It will be by working together as an industry, sharing best practices andcontinually raising the bar on how we track and evaluate the impact of our campaigns thatPR's real value in the communications mix will become clear and unimpeachable.
I’ve said it before: I strongly believe that we are poised to be the most importantcommunications discipline of the 21st century. I look forward to working with all of youin the future to deliver on that promise, for our own firms and for our clients.
I personally enjoyed speaking with many of you at Council-sponsored and other industryevents. Your active participation is what makes the Council so vibrant, and what willcontinue to make it a vital part of our business.
Sincere best wishes to all Council members in 2006.

Helen Ostrowski
Dear Council Members:
This is a great time to be in our profession and an exciting time for the Council.The Council has developed an ambitious and forward-looking agenda, which got a jump-start in January with a high-level strategic planning session. The meeting was the firstphase in the development of a long-range plan designed to help the Council address threekey areas: demonstrating the value of public relations to those who contract our services,industry preparedness and developing talent. We will continue to keep you informedabout the ways the Council is honing it messages and codifying the value proposition.
There are several reasons to be optimistic about our industry right now. Clearly, the role ofpublic relations is expanding and creating more business opportunities for firms of allsizes and specialties. We’re moving away from marketer control to consumer control,which has powerful implications not only for the marketing assignments that mark somuch of our agencies’ work, but also for the corporate and public affairs arenas. As clientscontinue to increase their spending on public relations, we’re also finally seeingrecognition of public relations’ value in such mainstream media as The Economist and TheWall Street Journal.
As the discipline’s role and visibility increases, so too will the scrutiny. Therefore, it isimportant that the Council have a strong posture on current and future issues that mayimpact our business. While we have provided guidance to members in the form of a codeof ethics and last year’s statement of principles, there is more that needs to be done. Thisnot only means driving the agenda, as our industry leaders noted at our planning session,but also impacts what we as members of the Council do regarding practices in our ownbusinesses and the standards we agree to uphold as members.
Members of the Council have impressed me over the years with their vision andenthusiasm for both this organization and the work they do. It’s a commitment that hashelped to make the Council a vital part of the public relations landscape, and gives mesuch optimism for the future. I am honored to serve as your chair this year, and I lookforward to working with you as we continue to build this organization and promote theoutstanding work being done by our members.

FROM THE 2006 CHAIRMAN
The Year in Programs
� Breakfast RoundtablesThe Breakfast Roundtable series hit a stride in its second year, doubling the number of
U.S. cities visited from the previous year. Of the more than 120 people who attended the
13 meetings, 52 member firms were represented.
No matter the firm size, or the geography of the market, the year’s discussions featured
several themes that were universal. Among the most popular topics were talent – both
recruiting and retention, the volume and complexity of business pitches and the rapid
developments taking place in communications and technology.

� Critical Issues ForumThe annual Critical Issues Forum, this year paired with the Council’s annual members
meeting, drew close to 100 members from across the country to hear from leading
authorities on issues related to demographic-specific marketing, the new media landscape
and talent. Representing business and trade media, bloggers, public relations firms, and
human resources, legal and other consultants to the industry, speakers offered their
observations about these subjects and their implications for public relations firms. The
chief talent officers and other human resources experts at member firms discussed best
practices and worked with industry consultants to benchmark trends.

� Harvard Program Dr. Ashish Nanda of the Harvard Business School (HBS) was back in 2005 for the Council
program, “Leading Organizations in Today’s Marketplace.” Drawing from HBS case
studies of various professional service firms, Dr. Nanda’s two-day course garnered
enthusiastic praise from the dozens of members in attendance.

AGENCY MANAGEMENT
� The Leadership Forum In 2005 and again in January of 2006, the Council co-sponsored a three-day program
with the Arthur W. Page Society and the Institute for Public Relations (IPR) for senior-
level professionals representing both firms and clients. The event offered attendees a
valuable networking opportunity as well as an intimate audience with some of the leading
practitioners and thinkers in the field.
Faculty from the first two years has included: John Graham (Fleishman-Hillard),
Harold Burson (Burson-Marsteller), Al Golin (GolinHarris), Helen Ostrowski (Porter
Novelli), Tom Martin (ITT), Elliott Schreiber (Consultant and Syracuse University faculty),
Roger Bolton (Aetna), Lou Capozzi (Publicis Public Relations & Corporate
Communications Group) and Bill Nielsen (Johnson & Johnson).
8 • 2005 ANNUAL REPORT
Dr. Nanda’s case studies explored such areas as:
• Managerial problems associated with performance appraisal and performance management;
• The importance of protecting against and managing employee defections;
• The internal tensions and break-up process of a multidisciplinary professional services
firm, and
• A lecture on the economics of professional service organizations.
The Year in SurveysThe Council conducts several surveys with its members – both expansive and “quick” –
throughout the year. The data from the surveys help members manage various aspects of
their businesses, and helps the Council plan more targeted member services.
� 2005 Members Survey There was strong, representative participation in the 2005 Member Survey. A total of 135
members, representing 74 firms and 27 U.S. cities, completed the survey. Participation
was well distributed among senior-level executives, with nearly 55% being CEOs,
principals and SVP/EVP/managing partners. Other participants included CFOs and
members of the HR Roundtable.
Most respondents believe the top issue facing the profession over the next three years, by a
wide margin, is “demonstrating the value of public relations” followed by “developing talent.”
� Annual Business Benchmark StudyA record 91 firms participated in the 2005 Business Benchmark Survey, providing
members with the kind of robust data that make this one of the Council’s most valuable
services, according to the 2005 Members Survey.
This survey is reviewed and vetted with help from the CFO Roundtable and the Agency
Management Committee. The study looks at several financial metrics including:
Productivity, Profitability, Cost Management, Fixed Costs, Client Services Metrics, Time
Management and Cash Management.

� Quick SurveysThere were three Quick Surveys conducted in 2005, with an average of 62 firms
participating in each. These surveys addressed the most pressing and important
issues/information facing our members.
A question on each survey asked for firms’ projected 2005 revenues. The percent of firms
projecting growth grew from 73 percent in the Q2 Survey to 81 in the Q3 Survey to 83
percent in the Q4 Quick Survey.

$3 – $10 million 13.6% 93%
Less than $3 million 5.8% 54%
All 12.5% 83%
� International Benefits and Compensation SurveyTo complement the biennial Benefits and Compensation Survey, the HR Roundtable and
Deloitte Consulting conducted the Council’s second International Compensation Survey.
The survey helped member firms to benchmark base salaries and incentives against a
wide range of criteria including job title and responsibility, geographic location, and
specialty. Data were gathered for benchmark jobs, from 20 international cities and five
domestic cities, representing more than 1,600 employees.
� Information Technology SurveyIn early 2005, 28 I.T. managers completed a survey that examined the role of I.T. within
each agency; client involvement with agency-provided technology, and major I.T. trends
for public relations firms.
Respondents ranked the following as the three most important issues facing I.T.
departments today:
• Industry standards for web-based security• Software compatibility issues with the client• Wireless device security standards
The 2006 Domestic
Compensation and
Benefits Study will
analyze data from more
than 20 cities. There is no
charge to members for
participation in this study.
FROM THE Q4 QUICK SURVEY
� Industry GuidelinesThe Council brought together experienced counselors from among its membership to
address industry practices related to transparency and disclosure.
The result was the creation of two task forces – one focusing on government contracts,
another on commercial contracts – that jointly drafted a “Statement of Principles.” The
document – sent to members and posted on the Council web site – provided clarity on the
industry standards at a time of unprecedented media coverage about industry practices.
The government contracts committee, led by Marcia Silverman and Rob Matthias (both of
Ogilvy), and government affairs specialists from eight member firms in Washington, D.C.,
analyzed procedures of government client contracts and the specific requirements related
to programs funded by taxpayer dollars. The other committee, headed by Helen
Ostrowski (Porter Novelli) and representatives from five additional member firms,
reviewed the procedures of commercial contracts. After several meetings and
comprehensive discussions, each task force produced guidelines that were then
consolidated into one set of overarching principles.
� Client Advisory Committee The Client Advisory Committee (CAC) met twice last year, once in Chicago (hosted by
Fleishman-Hillard) and once in New York (hosted by Financial Dynamics and Committee
chair Harlan Teller). Guest speakers and topics included: Johanna Schneider from the
Business Roundtable, who discussed the public role of the CEO and how her organization
facilitates various initiatives and activities; Steve Rubel formerly of CooperKatz, who
discussed the blogosphere’s impact on PR; and Harry Clark from the Stanwich Group,
who led a discussion on governance trends. The CAC also oversaw the development of
Measuring the Impact of Public Relations on Sales (see p.13).

ADVOCACY

TALENT
As member surveys and meetings revealed, the focus on recruiting, training and retaining
talent were paramount to many firms in 2005.
Helping the Council focus its efforts was the HR Roundtable. One of the most active and
by far the largest of all Council committees, this group (chaired in 2005 by Donna
Renella, Weber Shandwick, and in 2006 by Lisa Hyden, Ogilvy) made great strides in
2005, particularly in the area of diversity.
� DiversityThe HR Roundtable’s diversity initiatives included:
• Job Fairs at Howard University (2): The HR Roundtable recruited several member firms to
participate at job fairs in the spring and fall. The events, which included panel discussions
and portfolios reviews, also attracted students from other Historically Black Colleges.
• Lagrant Foundation: For the third year, the Council and Lagrant Foundation worked
together to place scholarship hopefuls. Lagrant encourages minority candidates to
consider careers in public relations, as well as advertising and marketing. Last year,
several candidates were hired by Council member firms.
• City College of New York: Members participated in portfolio reviews and career
counseling for dozens of students throughout the year.
• PR Coalition: Assisted with the development of the Summit meeting in January of 2005 which
produced the white paper: “Focus on Diversity: Lowering the Barriers, Raising the Standards.”
� Intern Days The Council hosted two Intern Days in New York City that were attended by more than
100 interns from 16 member firms. The events featured panel discussions with public
relations professionals and valuable networking opportunities for the interns. Additional
cities will host events in the summer of 2006.
2005 ANNUAL REPORT • 13
INDUSTRY RELATIONS
� Funded ResearchThe Council sponsored the Gap III Study, conducted by USC’s Annenberg Strategic
Public Relations Center. More than 300 corporate communications executives were
surveyed about their functions, budgets and their use of public relations firms.
The Council also developed a 24-page abridged version of the study, available online.
� PRWeek ColumnsThe Council ran 12 advertorials in the weekly trade publication, PRWeek. The topics
ranged from transparency/disclosure and government contracts to diversity and trends in
media relations.
� PublicationsIn 2005, the Council published two booklets addressing industry issues that never go out
of style: measurement and talent.
Measuring the Impact of Public Relations on Sales
This booklet was written to inspire public relations executives to more consistently invest
in measurement. Measuring the Impact of Public Relations on Sales offers an overview of the
current state of the art with illustrative examples and references to other relevant resources.
Careers in Public Relations: A Guide to Opportunities in a Dynamic Industry
This booklet, which has been popular from the day it was first published in 2000, was
updated to include fresh perspectives related to careers at public relations firms.
� 2005 Web Statistics The Council’s web site is a rich resource for people looking for information about the public
relations industry. The site, www.prfirms.org, which received more than 1,100 visitors each
day last year (a 25% increase over 2004) has links to all member firms’ web sites,
proprietary research, industry data, Council publications and a calendar of events, to name
just a few features. Find-a-Firm, the premiere searchable database for PR firms on the
Internet, continues to be the most popular feature on the site.
