The majority of the PR support will focus on targeting national and trade media (including key house builder titles) with minimal focus on regional media where some ad-hoc support may be required. This support should work hand in hand, where relevant, with high level Public Affairs activity to ensure opportunities are maximised. Public Affairs activity should also operate as a standalone function where required and extend to fully align and magnify relevant PR outputs.
