PR department managers, directors and vice presidents who want to learn new best practices for creating high-performance corporate communications departments will discover practical strategies, techniques and hard-won lessons at a new PR executive roundtable webinar from Bulldog Reporter's PR University. Attendees will come away with actionable steps to manage a more inspired, more effective department starting immediately.

This exclusive, dial in PR University webinar takes place on Wednesday, July 2, at 1PM EDT (noon, CDT, 11AM MDT; 10AM PDT). It features a panel of two veteran corporate communications leaders with decades of public relations, communications and marketing management experience:

• How to make the case for a higher-than-average PR budget
• Why reporting to the C-suite is crucial to your long-term success--and how to make it happen

• Why you must establish an effective issues-management strategy for your organization--before it's too late
• Why you have to invest in tools and technologies to measure and analyze your PR efforts
