3 Foreword Summary What will be the major challenges for Communication professionals in the future? How influential are communicators within their organisations? How much money do they earn? How satisfied are they with their jobs? These and other important questions are being answered by the European Communication Report The survey among almost 1,200 communication professionals across Europe portrays the professional backgrounds, challenges and working environments of communication directors and spokespeople Europe-wide. The online study has been conducted by the European Association of Communication Directors (EACD) and the Institute for Media and Communication Management at the University of St. Gallen. This publication should provide deep insights into the state of our profession, illuminating trends and developments in communications from across Europe. Indeed, it is the ambitious scope of the study, covering all of Europe, which gives its results such potential pertinence. Fostering qualification within the field of communication is one of the EACD s main objectives. We believe that this first European Communication Report is a good basis for the association s work towards this goal. Dr. Herbert Heitmann President European Association of Communication Directors (EACD) 6 Communication across national boundaries is a management task of increasing importance within a constantly developing European Union. For communicators in multinational companies, associations, institutions and politics, the European perspective is crucial in their strategic and practical work. Still, there is very little knowledge about the transnational aspect of the communication profession. As of today, no comprehensive Europewide study exists that explores the professional backgrounds, challenges and working environments of in-house communication experts all over Europe. Consequently, the joint survey of the EACD and the University of St. Gallen, which we present to you on the following pages, intends to take a closer look at the issues on hand, from an international perspective. The insights are quite informative about the state and the growing importance of the profession. Altogether, 1171 communication professionals from all over Europe participated in the survey. The better part of them, 85%, worked for companies in the private sector, about 70 % of these corporations were listed. Although said companies covered a wide variety of industries, participants predominantly worked for very large organisations with more than employees. The overall number of participants was evenly split between male and female respondents, in the majority of cases they were aged between 30 and 50 years. As a testament to the strategic importance of communication expertise within organisations, the salary level of respondents was comparable to other management functions. Almost every third communication professional participating in the survey earned more than EUR. With regards to remuneration policy, private companies paid on average significantly higher salaries than institutions under public law or public policy. Only about 14% of the overall salary was related in one way or another to the profitability of the organisation, although 7 of participants reported regular success measurement of their activities. 7
4 Still, despite the even distribution between male and female respondents, and no significant gender differences regarding job positions, only 3 of top earners are female. Organisations and their communications function increasingly operate in a complex and challenging environment, necessitating a diverse set of personal and professional skills as well as organisational capabilities. Nearly 9 of respondents hold an academic degree, mainly either in the area of business and economics or in humanities and social sciences. In addition, a large proportion of participating communication professionals had significant previous work experience, if not in the field of Public Relations itself, then usually either in marketing or journalism. Work experience was with only few exceptions supplemented by some form of PR-specific training. Interestingly though, the overall educational level did not prove to have a noticeable impact on either the participants positions or salaries. Regarding organisational capabilities, communication departments were usually responsible for national or worldwide operations; regional responsibility was very much the exception. The budget size to fulfil the tasks at hand were on average between and Euro, though the private sector had significantly higher communication budgets available than had public institutions, which may also account for the differences in income between the private and the public sector. Overall, the size of communication budgets increased in the past and is expected to continue to further increase in the foreseeable future. In summary, the survey provides us with first insights into what might become interesting discussion points for the European Communication Summit and beyond. With regards to the state of the profession, the good news is that the average job satisfaction was exceedingly high, providing respondents with challenges and diversity more so than stress. This, however, is no reason for us, as professionals as well as researchers, to sit back and relax, as a genuinely European PR-Community is still in the stage of formation. It is up to us to support and advance the further strategic integration and internationalisation of the profession. For it holds true that a profession has from time to time to think and to reflect about its very foundations, so as to cope with the challenging and ever changing industry and competition environments organisations are facing nowadays. We hope that this study makes a contribution to this process, and that it serves as the basis for discussion among the members of the European Association of Communication Directors. Prof. Dr. Miriam Meckel Director Institute for Media and Communication Management at the University of St. Gallen Besides the financial endowment of the communications function, the organisational integration is another determining factor for the strategic importance of the profession. It turned out that communication professionals hold a significant level of responsibility within their organisation, 4 of respondents were responsible for the entire organisational communication of their employer, and furthermore nearly half of the communication departments were embedded on the top-management level a sign of the growing recognition of the importance of professional communication and the strategic imperative to foster a positive image for the organisation. 8 9
