 U.S. public relations firms continue showing solid revenue growth — eight percent overall — two industry reports show. StevensGouldPincus pegs the PR growth rate for 2012 at 8.2 percent, and the Holmes Report at eight percent. That's about the same rate as in 2010 and 2011, Paul Holmes notes.
"The top performing regions," the Holmes Report advises, "were the Southwest (17.4 percent), the Southeast (16.6 percent) and northern California (14.4 percent), while firms found growth difficult in the Washington, DC, area (1.1 percent) and New York (5.5 percent) as well as the Northwest (2.4 percent).j Canada also enjoyed healthy growth (15.3 percent)."
