Trust Power And Public Relations In Financial Markets by Clea Bourne, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The public relations profession positions itself as expert in building trust throughout global markets, particularly after crisis strikes. Successive crises have tainted financial markets in recent years.

Nonetheless, years after the global financial crisis, trust in financial markets remains both tenuous and controversial. This book explores PR in financial markets, posing a fundamental question about PR professionals as would-be 'trust strategists'. If PR promotes its expertise in building and restoring trust, how can it ignore its potential role in losing trust in the first place?Drawing on examples from state finance, international lending agencies, trade bodies, financial institutions and consumer groups in mature and emerging financial centres, this book explores the wide-ranging role of PR in financial markets, including:State finance and debt capital marketsInvestor relations, M&A and IPOsCorporate communications for financial institutionsProduct promotion and consumer financeFinancial trade associations and lobbyingConsumerism and financial activism.
