... exclusively for PR professionals
A free service of Spring Associates, Inc., executive search and consulting firm serving the public relations, corporate and marketing communications, investor relations and public affairs industries since 1980.

For the first time in Spring Associates 29-year history and the first time in public relations history, you can now tap directly into our proprietary database containing salary and career information on more than 20,000 credentialed PR & corporate communications professionals nationwide.

Find out where you stand relative to your fellow PR pros! (individual names and other personally identifiable information always remain confidential).


What makes the PR salary check-up so unique?

  • The personal and confidential information you provide on the PR Salary Profile will activate a personalized database search.

    No surveys. No fudged numbers. Your personal data is electronically compared to thousands of your fellow PR practitioners nationwide with similar stats who live and work in your own local area .

  • The results of your Personalized Salary Check-Up will give you actual salary ranges that you can depend on. A useful tool for determining your relative worth in the PR marketplace today --which is changing every day.

  • Use the results of your database search as a barometer when planning your next job change.

  • In reality, you are tapping into the same master database that the Search Consultants and Research Analysts at Spring Associates use every day in the course of completing search assignments for their clients.

  • The information that eventually ends up on Spring Associates' master database is carefully gathered in the following ways: face-to-face interviews; PR professionals' resumes; confidential phone & email communication with PR pros; PR executive search placements; daily database updates from personal and industry sources.
