Strategic Public Relations Planning

STARWEAVER connects PR fundamentals with audience analysis, implementation and evaluation. Case examples lead toward developing a plan that links communication activities with corporate objectives. It suits learners who already have a basic understanding of public relations and want to make the reasoning behind a campaign explicit enough to review and improve.

What you will learn

• Analyze audiences and communication objectives.
• Develop an ethical and coordinated PR plan.
• Evaluate execution and campaign measures.

Who this suits

Learners with a basic understanding of public relations, the preparation recommended by the provider, interested in media, crisis or brand management.

Before you enroll

Build a communication plan around verified information and a clearly identified audience. Check factual claims, permissions and disclosure requirements before using material publicly. Practice with fictional organizations and incidents; course exercises do not create media relationships or guarantee coverage. In a real crisis, coordinate communication with the people responsible for the response.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Draft a fictional PR plan with one objective, two audience groups and an evaluation method. Explain how the measures relate to the objective and identify an ethical decision in execution.
