As some of you have noticed the conversation on PR IS DEAD started on October 1st, 2015. Nigerians marked the country’s 55th independence anniversary, ID AFRICA and BLACK HOUSE MEDIA started a campaign #PRisDEAD – on the PR industry in Nigeria and why they think it’s time to do things differently.

“PR” has been reduced to a sponsored story in the media, ‘forced’ trending hashtags on Twitter, etc… #PRisDead https://t.co/YmdzwTICad

Please, pardon my ignorance. The ones that trend hashtags, are they PR consultant too? Asking for a friend. #PRisdead

I agree with the notion that #PRIsDead ! Nowadays, people think PR is all about publicity. Even confuse PR With propaganda & image building — Peter Jr. Elosia (@PeterElosia_) October 1, 2015
The verdict is clear – consumers don’t care about press releases. Bloggers don’t. Editors don’t. We need to stop boring everyone #PRisDead — Ayeni Adékúnlé S. (@ayenithegreat) October 1, 2015
You can’t say #PRIsDead because of the introduction of new technology. As a PR Expert, your duty is to find ways to leverage on this — Peter Jr. Elosia (@PeterElosia_) October 1, 2015
Why are Nigerian PR professionals saying #PRisdead Since when? Just say you guys are clueless about the new age of PR — SEUN AGBELUSI (@seuncr8vwox) October 2, 2015
Advertising in Naija is balling, compared to PR. CMOs of big brands spend and believe more in ads than PR #PRisDead https://t.co/f9pZ9FM6Ip — Femi (@Hephef) October 1, 2015
