Public Relations & Communications (Female) 2020

The public relations and communications benchmark contains organizations that are specialist messaging and media information businesses. These organizations are responsible for creating positive awareness and communities of interest around focussed audiences. Often working in channels such as online, social, print, TV and live with powerful storytelling. This benchmark only includes Women employees. We use woman and man because most of our customers are using binary options.

Our research has shown that our bootstrapped scores are consistent with our standard benchmarks. Read more about the methodology.
